Beyond knowing the rose quartz meaning, it is also important that you cleanse and recharge rose quartz from time to time. Here is how you should care for the healing crystals:

• Water

  As long as your stone is not water soluable and is durable enough (3+ on Mohs hardness), you may be able to put it in a bowl of lukewarm water to cleanse and charge the stone. You will want to leave the stone in the water between 2-10 hours (leaving it overnight is a good way to do it). Dry stones with a soft cloth to avoid causing damage to them.

• Running Water

  Holding a stone in running water for about a minute each can both cleanse and charge many hard stones. Access to a natural spring is always best, but faucets also work as long as the stone can be completely submerged. You can also place them in a fountain to allow the water to run over the stones. Dry with a soft cloth when you remove the stone from the water.

• Full Moon

  Cleansing your stones with the full moon is an excellent way to remove negativity. At twilight, place your crystals on a windowsill or a place where they will be able to absorb the light of the moon (and its vibrations). Remove the stone the following morning before the sun gets too high into the sky. You can also place several stones on a grid to charge with a specific intention.

• Smudging

  Smudging your stones will immediately remove negative energies, so it is important to open a window for them to leave if you are cleansing your crystals indoors. Simply light either used bundled or loose sage with a match then blow out the flame to produce smoke. Wave the stone through the smoke for 30 to 60 seconds to clear bad vibrations. Ensure you use a fire-safe bowl or plate for safety.

• Incense/Herbs

  Using a sage bundle is one of the best ways to cleanse your stones of negative energy. If you don’t have sage, you can light incense or herbs near your crystals or move the stones through the smoke. This will help clear any negative emotions that your gem has absorbed. When clearing your stones this way indoors, you will want to open a window so that the negativity can leave.

• Charging Stones

  Placing your crystal on a Selenite wand, inside an Amethyst or Quartz geode, or placing it near other charging crystals (such as Carnelian) can safely charge any stone. While smaller stones could charge in a matter of minutes, it is a good idea to keep them with the charging stones for at least 24 hours. The cleansing stones will remove negative vibrations that your crystal may have absorbed.

Conclusion

The best way to use Rose Quartz (for any purpose) is by wearing it as jewelry or carrying it around in your pocket, purse, etc. If you are using the crystal for healing purposes, place the stone on your body where you need it.
