When Aphrodite attempted to save him she was caught on a bush and their blood stained the white Quartz pink. Additionally, this gem was used to honor Aphrodite who was one of the twelve Olympian gods of ancient Greece. Rose Quartz was also used to honor Astarte, the Phoenician goddess of love and war; as well as Etruscan love goddess Turan.

In another corner of the world, Rose Quartz facial masks have appeared in ancient Egyptian tombs.

A practice that is still believed by some, so next time you have Rose Quartz try washing your skin with it and you could watch your skin rejuvenate and wrinkles fade.
