ROSE QUARTZ
FOR NEW AND EXPECTING MUMS!
Whether you're completely new to the world of crystals or have been collecting for many years, you'll almost certainly have heard of the stunning gemstone of love, self-love and relationships at some point - the awe-inspiring Rose Quartz!
A lesser-known but equally as important quality of Rose Quartz is its powerful ability to promote bonding with your new child throughout pregnancy, birth and childhood: the love between a mother and her child is really the strongest bond that exists, meaning many mothers and new parents have a strong affinity with Rose Quartz! Although every crystal starts off as a raw piece or 'chunk' in the earth, they have traditionally been cut and polished for centuries to fulfil different purposes: each shape has its own unique qualities, just as every type of crystal has its own benefits, too!
We understand that choosing the perfect piece can feel a little daunting at times...so, we're here to take the guesswork out of crystal shopping for a new arrival! Parents new and old will find Rose Quartz to be a wonderful daily tool, so, let's delve right into the wonderful world of Rose Quartz!
Bond-Boosting Magic!
1. Heart
Share the love this January and all year long with our gorgeous Rose Quartz hearts!
You simply can’t go wrong with a heart-shaped crystal, especially when you pair it with the gemstone of love!
A gorgeous stone to have in various places around the house throughout pregnancy and once your baby has arrived (making sure they’re kept out of reach of tiny hands at all times, of course!), our Rose Quartz hearts are our top pick because of their connection to the Heart Chakra and all things LOVE!
We adore heart shaped crystals for how easy they are to carry around day-to-day as well as being a staple piece in your home, making it perfect for reducing stress and boosting your confidence levels wherever you go. No matter how busy your morning may be, pop one of these straight into your pocket or bag and feel the soothing benefits guide you all day long!
Your Rose Quartz heart will help strengthen your bond with your growing child during pregnancy and will help create that perfect, soothing environment once they’ve been born, too. They’re even the perfect size to hold in the palm of your hands during meditation and relaxation…talk about multi-purpose!
2. Sphere
Considered to be one of the ‘softest’ and gentlest shapes due to their smoothness and no sharp edges, a Rose Quartz crystal in the shape of a sphere is associated with wholeness and feeling complete, making these an ultimate choice for new parents!
A feeling of wholeness is key in strengthening the bond with your new child: the stronger and more complete you feel, the better you’ll be able to care for you new arrival and the closer your relationship will become.
Our Rose Quartz spheres are an excellent choice for expecting parents in particular and are so easy to hold in the palm of your hand when relaxing, especially when paired with positive pregnancy mantras and affirmations!
3. Tumble Stone
We love, love, LOVE tumble stones for how easy they are to carry around with you day-to-day, and as all mums know, it’s great when a part of your daily routine can be made easier!
Similar to the wonderful hearts, Rose Quartz tumble stones are excellent for having by your side throughout the day and are not bulky at all, so will fit in a purse or small pocket. They even serve as a stunning decoration for the home, especially if popped in a dish such as our Selenite Trinket Dish!
Tumble stones are generally a little smaller in size and more affordable than some of the other crystal shapes currently available, making it a perfect choice if you aren’t sure if crystals are for you or simply want something that takes up a little less space! These lovely little stones made up the beginnings of many of Team Alyssa’s collections, and we can’t help but feel they will always be a staple choice!
4. Angel
A perfect choice for popping in your shared space with your new baby (and the bedroom they will eventually have to themselves!), our Rose Quartz angel is ideal for new mums who just love something a little bit different!
Our Rose Quartz Bedside Guardian Angel is perfect to keep by your bedside during pregnancy and even long after your baby has been born, watching over you and your child each night and repelling negative energy that could otherwise enter your precious space: angel-shaped crystals are known for their gorgeous, bond-boosting aura!
Crystal angels are also said to help ease physical and mental fatigue as well as enhancing sleeping habits and…well, we think we’ll just let this one speak for itself!
5. Point
We just HAD to add this lovely and rather unique shape to our list!
Known for their properties of healing and reinforcing positive affirmations, this is absolutely the choice for you if you enjoy setting time aside at the start or end of your day for brief meditation or grounding: a lovely, heavy stone when held in the palm of the hand, our Rose Quartz points are much better suited to the home space and will aid in improving self-love and strengthening the all-important bond with your child, especially in those early days.
We absolutely LOVE our polished crystal points as they really brings out all the shimmering colours and natural variations that may otherwise go unnoticed!
A Final Word
No matter which shape and style of Rose Quartz crystal you end up picking out for your journey into and throughout motherhood, you are sure to find that this incredible gem will bring you a little more peace, comfort and self-love in a rather busy time full of all kinds of new experiences. Remember, pick the gemstone that most appeals to YOU, as this is believed to be an important part of ensuring you receive the right piece for YOU!
Whether you choose a few tumble stones to carry with you and your new child each day or a more decorative piece to detox and re-energise your home space, we hope you find it amplifies your loving energy towards both your new child and yourself, and wish you all the luck on your new journey into parenthood!
