This tumbled stone is polished into a smooth, palm-friendly shape roughly ¾–1.5 inches across (size varies naturally piece to piece), with a cool, soothing feel and color ranging from pale blush to a deeper dusty rose.

Care & cleansing
Rose quartz is durable (about 7 on the Mohs scale), but its pink can fade with prolonged direct sunlight, so display it in indirect light rather than a hot windowsill. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; brief water contact is fine, but avoid harsh chemicals. To refresh it, rest it on selenite, set it in moonlight, or pass it through incense or sound.
Frequently asked questions
What is a rose quartz tumbled stone used for?
It is traditionally associated with love, compassion, and self-care. Many people carry it as a pocket stone or keep it on a nightstand for a calm, heart-centered feeling; it is a decorative, symbolic piece, not a health product.
Is rose quartz safe to carry in a pocket or bag daily?
Yes — it's a durable stone at about 7 on the Mohs scale and tolerates daily handling well.
Does rose quartz fade in sunlight?
Yes, prolonged direct sun can lighten its pink over time. Keep it in indirect light for display, especially on a sunny windowsill.
Can rose quartz go in water?
Brief water contact is fine for cleaning, but there's no need to soak it, and prolonged salt water can dull the surface over time.
How do I cleanse a rose quartz tumbled stone?
Rest it on selenite, set it in moonlight, or pass it through incense or sound. Many people do this periodically to keep its energy feeling fresh.
How can I tell if rose quartz is real?
Natural rose quartz is a soft, slightly cloudy pink, rarely deep or perfectly even. A very vivid, glassy, uniformly hot-pink stone is often dyed.
