Comments
Anyone can wear Rose Quartz though it is most suitable for those with the zodiac signs of Taurus and Libra. However, It is advisable not to wear this gemstone along with the Planetary Gemstones or substitute stones of Jupiter, Sun, Mars, Rahu and Ketu.
Hi can this stone be used by anyone other than ppl born in January. My birth month is October. Also can i use it directly? Or do i have to consult someone first?
We are thankful for your contribution to the general knowledge on quartz crystals.
@shikha You can wear a Rose Quartz pendent or even a Beads mala.
dear anamika, i wanna ask that can't we use a rose quartz as a pendent and wear it rather keeping it in our bedroom?????
Yes, mostly when it comes to crystals like Rose Quartz. You can keep it in your house. Thanks for the comment!
Dear Anamika,
Your article on Gem stones is quite appreciable, but I have a doubt that only the particular has to be worn or whether keeping any article of the very same in ones pocket will yield the same result as that of stone
