THE MEANING BEHIND THE OCTOBER BIRTHSTONE
Also named ink quartz or hyaline quartz from the Greek word ‘hyalos’ meaning ‘glass’, the rose quartz
is
a stone of the heart; a crystal of unconditional love. It symbolizes peace, compassion, nourishment,
comfort, and healing. The stone provides a sense of contentment and personal fulfillment to the
wearer,
allowing one to give and receive love from others around them. Used as a magical charm within
relationships, it attracts new love, intimacy, romance, as well as developing closer bonds with
family
or friends. The stone helps us in understanding our own needs and emotions clearly and controls what
we
should embrace and resist.
