FSS Powdered Rose Quartz

Background:
A gemstone is the naturally occurring crystalline form of a mineral, desirable for its beauty, valuable in its rarity, and durable enough to be enjoyed for generations. Even though some gemstone varieties have been treasured since before recorded history and others were only discovered recently, all are nature’s creations – perfect crystals, with no two alike. Some believe gems possess magical powers, which may account for their reputation as symbols of wealth, power, healing, and love.

Historically, holistic healers and therapists around the world have employed the natural energy of gemstones to help correct physical, mental, and spiritual abnormalities. Such imbalances are thought to cause everything from dry skin to insomnia. Today, with a renewed interest in the natural living and wellness market, where health and beauty habits increasingly overlap, it is not surprising that the ancient practice of using gemstones has found a place in the modern world.

A very interesting gemstone, Rose Quartz is one of the most desirable varieties of quartz. It is found in Madagascar, India, Germany, and the USA. Most rose quartz was originally extracted from a famous site near Custer, South Dakota, but now, much of the world’s suppy comes from Brazil. So amazing are the rose quartz crystals, that modern mineralogists from around the world dismissed the first ones discovered as fakes.

In ancient Egypt, women wore facial masks carved of pure rose quartz to soften and beautify the skin. Hair was dry shampooed using fine powdered clays and gemstones. The powders were combed through to absorb the grease and dirt. The gem has since become the established stone of all things feminine and goddess-like. Rose quartz can be categorized as one of nature’s most energizing minerals.

Benefits:
In its powdered form, it may be used to buff away dead skin cells and impurities revealing the soft, fresh, and youthful skin beneath.
