A major gemstone of love, rose quartz is said to promote all the good aspects of love--tenderness, comfort, gentleness, joy and hope. Thought to promote peace, happiness and fidelity in relationships. A gemstone of the "heart", it is said to help heart problems. It is also thought to bring healing to those who feel "unloved". Natural color rose quartz, like the delicate pink rose for which it is named, is associated with love the world over. Beautiful in its own right, it is mutually complementary with other pastel gemstones.
