Rose Quartz - Small Oval 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, gifted rose quartz to Earth as a symbol 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 a quartz crystal, staining the stone pink.
