"The main thing to remember about working with all crystals is that we are all different and what speaks to someone may not speak to another," says Patel. (Although that totally works, too.)

How can we use rose quartz for its healing properties?Īs I mentioned before, rose quartz comes in many forms these days-you've got way more options than just sticking the stone in your bra. So basically, it's thought to have the same effect as a really good yoga class. "Rose quartz invites you to dive into your heart, open up to the expansive nature of your emotions, break away from judgment, and practice deep gratitude," she says. "It supports and enhances all types of love: love for others, love for self, and unconditional love."įrom this blissed-out place, Patel adds, you may find that you're better able to tap into your feelings-this is where its "emotional healing" reputation comes from. (And if, like me, you're not? You might get that feeling just by visually taking in its soft pink hue.)

She notes that the stone's molecules are said to vibrate at an energetic frequency of 350Hz, and that when you make contact with this frequency, it's thought to "elevate and harmonize" your heart energy center. "Rose quartz, or the stone of emotional healing, is associated with all the properties of high-vibrational love energy," says Well+Good Council member Kelsey Patel, reiki healer and founder of lifestyle brand Magik Vibes. (And let's be real: Coupled up or solo, who couldn't use a little help in that department?) Ask any gemstone expert, and they'll tell you that rose quartz healing properties are super powerful, particularly where love's concerned. No, it's not just because she needs something millennial pink to compliment her monstera plant and macramé wall hanging. Rose quartz is the coconut oil of the crystal world-pretty much every wellness-obsessed gal has it somewhere in her home.
