Rose Quartz Mini Radiant Heart with Ruby Lavender Crown

This Rose Quartz Mini Radiant Heart pendant is crowned with a lovely Round Ruby Lavender Quartz gemstone. The Rose Quartz is very luminous with good color. It is set into a sterling silver setting which allows the stone to breathe, and hangs on its sterling silver chain right on the thymus at the heart chakra, offering protection to the whole body resonating through the compassionate heart. This lovely pendant is .875 inches high from the bottom of the Rose Quartz crystal to the top of the bale, and comes complete in its own velvet jewelry box for safe-keeping.   Metaphysical Properties of the Radiant Heart Pendant The Radiant Heart pendant is an innovative cut from Paul Jensen and Kelly Wilson, the creators of the Flower of Life and Kabbalistic cut healing wands and pendants, who call it an "evolutionary tool to assist us in expanding our ability to hold and create Unconditional Love, so that we too may 'crystallize' the wisdom of the One Heart that unites all life in Love." The Radiant Heart pendant resembles a crystal lotus whose myriad flower petals hold and reflect brilliant light, giving the stone the appearance of a kaleidoscope. The combination of Rose Quartz and Ruby Lavender Quartz energizes the entire chakra system, increases the flow of Universal Life Force energy throughout body, mind and aura, and energizes the heart chakra. The warmth and relaxation associated with Rose Quartz combines with the uplifting energy of Ruby Lavender Quartz, which energizes the crown chakra. Mineralogical and Metaphysical Properties of Rose Quartz Rose quartz normally exhibits a coloration ranging from pale pink to rose red. Scientists believe the color arises from trace amounts of titanium, iron or manganese within the crystal material. Recent research also indicates the rosy color may arise from thin microscopic fibers of the mineral dumortierite, a form of aluminum borosilicate. Rose quartz is generally found in large formations, and usually is too clouded with inclusions to provide good material for cutting gemstones, so gemstone quality rose quartz is quite rare and valuable as a mineralogical collector's item. Rose quartz also has beneficial properties for meditation and healing purposes. The color rose pink is often associated with the heart chakra in the Western chakra system, and rose quartz is believed by crystal healers to activate and energize the heart chakra. For meditators, rose quartz can be valuable in releasing energy stuck in the heart chakra, and also help us to attain a feeling of safety and emotional security that is supportive of all spiritual practices designed to open the heart chakra, and develop compassionate feelings, thoughts and actions. Crystal healers also find rose quartz to be extremely beneficial in treatment of individuals who have experienced the loss of a loved one, or who find themselves picking up on the emotional wounds of others around them. Rose quartz has often been used in the treatment of wounds to the emotional body, and especially a wounded heart, but can be used effectively in treatment of wounds to the heart, throat, third eye and crown chakra. Rose quartz is perfect to place on your altar, by your bed or in the room of a loved one or one who needs extra emotional support. It imparts a warm pink glow and elevates the emotional frequency of the environment in which it resides. Rose quartz projects a soft, soothing, gentle energy that resonates with vibrations of love, and is especially supportive in cases where an individual is developing the capacity for self love. It sends out an energy of unconditional love, as compared with passionate love, so the energy of rose quartz resonates with the heart chakra rather than the lower chakras. This is a gently healing stone, allowing for the slow opening of the heart to healing and loving energies. It supports the wearer or bearer of this stone in all spiritual practices and daily activities that promote the development of compassion for all beings -- and especially for oneself. Mineralogical and Metaphysical Properties of Ruby Lavender Quartz Ruby Lavender Quartz is a form of laboratory quartz grown using a hydrothermal technique in a high temperature autoclave from a natural seed crystal. The laboratory method for producing quartz crystals mimics Nature's way of growing quartz crystals, using high temperature and high pressure water solutions. In a bit of modern-day alchemy, scientists add mineral impurities to the alkaline solution (often Sodium Hydroxide) that feeds the crystal's growth in the autoclave to create crystals with beautiful colors and energy signatures resonating with the power of the mineral additives. Ruby Lavender Quartz is created by the addition of Neodymium salts to the liquid mixture that feeds the seed crystal's growth in the laboratory. Neodymium is a soft silvery white metallic substance. Neodymium is a rare earth element discovered in 1885, which is used as an alloy of iron in the creation of powerful magnets, used in computers and cell phones. Neodymium infused glass is used to manufacture lasers. Neodymium is not normally found occurring by itself in nature, and is commonly extracted from monazite and bastnaesite for industrial uses. Ruby Lavender quartz exhibits a rosy violet coloration, toward the magenta side of the color spectrum. Ruby lavender quartz resonates with the energy of the rosy ray, associated with the heart chakra, and with the energy of the violet ray, associated with the crown chakra. Count de Saint-Germain Ruby Lavender quartz resonates with the energy of the Violet Flame of Ascended Master St. Germain, the World Teacher, and can be used to transmit the Violet Flame for protection and purification. We often use crystals, pendants and wands for psychic protection, purification and to clarify things of a spiritual nature. See our article on Psychic Self Defense for more information along these lines with many suggestions on how to protect yourself from unwanted energies. This crystal has been cleaned with Universal Life Force Energy, and given an energy attunement using Reiki, a Japanese technique of energy healing, so it will continue to receive and transmit Universal Life Force Energy direct from the Source of Creation.
