Affairs’ of the Heart



Well it wouldn’t be a proper post this close to Valentine’s Day without talking about the much loved Rose Quartz.

4 Chips of Rose Quartz
 in a soft milky color

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica Rose Quartz is quartz that can vary in color from pale to rich pink color and has been used in carving since early times. The color is believed to be derived from titanium and can be faceted to provide gems of quality for use in jewelry. The milky aspect is attributed to tiny inclusions that give a polished stone an asterism. Rose Quartz has been found in Brazil, Sweden, Namibia, California and Maine.

Early cultures thought that Rose Quartz had supernatural powers to heal and protect. This carries over to today as Rose Quartz is not only the stone associated with love but also the healing of a broken heart. This Crystal is directly linked to the heart Chakra that controls not only the love of others but also self-love, compassion and forgiveness.

Physically Rose Quartz can bring balance to the body and offers calm by protecting against negative emotions. It has been used to benefit the heart through steady vibrations and beats to strengthen circulation.

As I understand, Rose Quartz will fade if left in the sun, so be sure to put it away when you are not wearing it. If your Rose Quartz fades, it will not affect the power of the crystal. Keep it clean of negative energy by soaking in warm salty water overnight. Add 1-2 tbsp of sea salt to the water for soaking and rinse in the morning with warm water

If you have your Rose Quartz mounted in silver or any other raw metal, it would be best to not put it in salt water as you may get corrosion on the metal. Instead find a window sill that the moon shines in and leave it on the sill for the night. 

Well that’s it for today. 

      
A unique shape
for your ears 

            Happy Valentine's Day 

                         With Love

                         💟💟💟

I promised you a post a week and out of nowhere I had a family emergency that sent me out of town and out of touch for a week. But I am back now and with this post I am back on track. Amethyst Bracelet  (click on picture)   If you noticed the title of todays post, you can guess that we are talking Greek. Antient Greece had a god called Dionysus (Roman equivalent of Bacchus) and is thought to be born between December 22nd and December 25th. Being the god of wine and merriment you can imagine the parties that were held in honor of his birthday. When Christianity came on the scene, it was only natural that the celebrations for Christmas would have similar traits. Epiphany marked the end of the holiday season. Christian Epiphany, January 6th, is when the wise men visited the Christ Child and the baptism of Jesus are celebrated. This lead to the tradition of celebrating the "Great Blessing of the Waters".   Enough background. The title αμέθυστος/ amethystos may be more re...
