The quintessential stone of love: for ourselves, our lovers, our families, the Earth, the Divine. It activates the heart chakra, helping to heal wounds and create trust, self-esteem, self-forgiveness, and compassion, and releasing anger, fear, and resentment, so that we can live lives of joy and longevity. Through this stone, we emanate love, which in turn draws love to us. It is excellent for jump-starting romance.
