Legend says that Eros brought Rose Quartz to earth in hopes that its beautiful pink colour would arouse love and desire among people.  In another legend, Adonis, the lover of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, was attacked by Ares (the god of War) who came in the form of a bore.   Aphrodite rushed to save him and caught herself on a briar bush.  Their mingled blood stained the white quartz to a pink.  Zeus took pity on them and restored Adonis to Aphoridite for six months of the year.  Because of this myth, this stone has become a symbol of reconciliation in love.
