Rose Quartz Madagascar Crystal - Tumbled

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this tumbled stone: Rose Quartz Madagascar Crystal - Tumbled (shop SKU DTRQ2).

Rose quartz is the pink variety of quartz. In crystal traditions, rose quartz is associated with love, including love for oneself. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Tumbled stones are polished in a drum, which softens sharp edges and brings out color. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as Madagascar.
