Rose Quartz - Duo Ring

There are many legends about the rose quartz crystal and how it came to be. According to one, Cupid, the Roman god of desire and affection, brought rose quartz to Earth as a gift of love, passion, and happiness for all. Another Greek legend tells a more tragic story. In this myth, Ares, the Greek god of war, came in the form of a wild boar to kill Aphrodite's lover Adonis. As she tried to save Adonis, Aphrodite cut herself on a briar bush. As their blood spilled, it mingled on the quartz crystal, staining the stone pink.
