## About
Close your hand around it and within moments the stone is as warm as you are. A thumb finds the curve of the heart without looking, which is exactly what it is for: a small, quiet weight to hold during a difficult conversation.This palm-sized heart is carved from Madagascar rose quartz and hand-polished to a warm, almost soap-smooth finish. Like most rose quartz it is cloudy rather than clear, its soft pink coming from trace titanium and manganese scattered unevenly through the quartz, so every heart carries its own faint clouding and pale streaks.In folklore across cultures and centuries, rose quartz has been the stone of love in its gentler forms: reconciliation, self-regard and quiet affection rather than passion. Roman and Egyptian craftsmen carved it into small tokens exchanged between lovers and family, and this heart continues that tradition in miniature.DetailsMaterial: natural rose quartz from MadagascarShape: palm-sized carved heart, hand-polishedCut from natural stone, so shade and cloudiness vary from the piece picturedHow to useKeep it by the bedside, on a desk within reach, or in a pocket.
