This pink colored crystal can aid in bringing spiritual attunement to the energy of love in all its forms including self-respect, platonic love, forgiveness, compassion and romantic love.

Charging, Cleansing and Caring for your Rose Quartz
It is also important to cleanse your rose quartz from time to time. This means cleansing it of any negative or stagnant energies that have built up within it. You can do this by rinsing it in purified water or in the water of a running stream. Another good way to cleanse it is with the light of a full moon. Set your rose quartz on a windowsill or anywhere that it can receive the light from a full moon overnight. These two methods can also help charge your rose quartz with more vibrant, active energy. Because rose quartz is photosensitive it should never be placed or stored in direct sunlight.
Cleansing and charging should be done at least once a month or any time it feels that your crystal is filled with stagnant or heavy energy.
