Rose quartz is a variation from the quartz family that is different shades of pink. Mostly opaque with a bit of translucence. As for it's energy, rose quartz emanates a powerful, yet gentle, loving energy: the healing energy of unconditional love.

While many people think they don’t dream, we all dream about 4-5 times every night. The difference is whether or not we remember them.
