Rose Quartz Spheres like this will impress you and others. It is so very nice to hold, and our quality is fantastic. They have a lovely pink colour! And even more excitingly these are call Star Rose Quartz. Why? The light creates 3 lines to appear which join up at either end creating a “Star”. Enjoy the video of this affect.

Let rose quartz foster empathy, reconciliation, and forgiveness of others and of yourself. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. This then brings deep inner healing and feelings of peace. I intuit it for those need to understand that love grows if they let it in from others who give it to them, to receive it without guilt. Read about healing properties of the sphere shape.

There are some lines of inclusions from when they grew. This maybe due to water moving over the forward face depositing a fine layer of dust. It adds a bit of grounding energy.

Team these rose quartz spheres with glass or metal stands and with other crystal spheres to create a most beautiful display.

Shamarah's intuitive insights

Stone for those who give a lot of love and support to others but feel "wrong" to receive it themselves. It reminds the holder to let love in because the cycle of giving and receiving love builds the love you have to be stronger. When you keep noticing the rose quartz it is often a message that you have many in the physical and spiritual realms ready to support you - so let them in to give you a hand. Stones of fertility don't just mean pregnancy, but also the development (pregnancy) and birth of your creative endeavours - your projects.

  • Recent X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the color is due to thin microscopic fibers of possibly dumortierite within the quartz.
• "Star" Rose Quartz has microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light.
