Rose Quartz

Love – Nurturing – Healing

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

– Rumi

Once Upon A Time

the strapping God of war, Ares, had a fiery relationship with the radiant Goddess Aphrodite. Sadly, their love ended in blood after Ares found out about her affair with Adonis. Let’s just say that Ares responded how any God of war would. Bursting with fury and rage at the news, he transformed into a mighty boar, and set off to kill Adonis.

In the heat of battle, both Aphrodite and Adonis bled over a quartz, coloring the stone a soft pink hue. The quartz, now called rose quartz, was forever tainted pink, symbolizing eternal love.
