Rose Quartz History
 
Early civilizations used to call rose quartz, pink quartz, or hyaline quartz. The name rose quartz came from the Greek word “hyalos” meaning glass. In legends, the rose quartz crystal meaning suggests that Aphrodite’s blood-stained white quartz when she cut herself on a thorny bush to save her love Adonis from Are’s war. Zeus brought Adonis back from war out of empathy and made the meaning of rose quartz, love rekindled or renewed. In another Greek story, Cupid and Eros brought the rose quartz to humans to sow love and hope. 
 
The use of rose quartz can be dated back to ancient times. It was extensively part of the arts and crafts of the Assyrians as early as 7000 B.C. The Assyrians of Mesopotamia were the first people who utilized and embodied rose quartz spiritual meaning in their practices and ceremonies. 
 
For Romans and Egyptians, rose quartz stone means beauty. It was being used in facial masks and cosmetic products as an anti-aging component. On the other hand, Americans connect with the crystal to achieve balance and peace. Rose quartz crystal's meaning for them is akin to personal growth and well-being. In East Asia, it was used as a token of love and had been widely used and honored in their carvings and lucky charms.

Rose Quartz’s color is always even and does not form a single crystal while pink quartz’s color is unstable and normally forms a single crystal. The characteristics and the difference between the two have been developed over time and the meaning of rose quartz has been identified. The rich history of this semi-precious stone and its popularity make it a true gem over the centuries and it is cherished worldwide.
