Rose Quartz
Used as a love token as early as 600 BC, Rose Quartz is associated with attracting love and beauty with legends dating back to Ancient Greece and Egypt. Rose Quartz is a pink sister stone to the common yet powerful Clear Quartz with shades varying from soft and pale to bright and vibrant. A stone of the Heart Chakra, it opens your heart center and allows energy to flow, releasing negative emotions and promoting inner peace. Beyond creating a deeper connection between you and your romantic partner, Rose Quartz is also good for cultivating other relationships such as friendships and self-love.

Amethyst
A personal favorite, amethyst is good for more than a decadent decoration. Its vibrant purple hue is a symbol of royalty, and you’ll surely feel like a queen with it out on display in your home. Believed to prevent intoxication in ancient times, Amethyst gets its name for the Greek word “not drunken”. While it may not save you from having one too many, it’s commonly used in mediation to promote calmness and clarity of the mind and to strengthen intuition. Amethyst can also be a tool for attracting abundance.
