Mythology

​Rose Quartz is often associated with Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. According to mythology, Aphrodite and Adonis, the Greek god of rebirth and reincarnation, were lovers.  Ares, the god of war and Aphrodite's former lover grew jealous of the two and killed Adonis.  When Aphrodite found Adonis, she wept and sprinkled him with her tears, which were said to be the nectar of the gods.  When Aphrodite's tears touched the ground where Adonis had bled, rose quartz was created to symbolize their eternal love. ​
