Love Stones
"Let those love now who never loved before;
Let those who always loved, now love the more."
~ Thomas Parnell, (1679-1718)
It is believed that different gem stones are used for help with different kinds of love situations.
Use the power of love gemstones to:
* Find true love and romance
* Improve a love relationship
* Rekindle lost love
* Increase the power of love
* Improve your marriage
* Meet someone special
Find Your Soul Mate
Finding love that is right for you can be difficult. The mere act of want or desire puts one in a position of need, which can be frustrating and make one feel less powerful. Buddha believed that the source of all misery is desire.
Obviously, if you are looking for love, you are in a position of desire. Your emotional and mental attitude toward achieving anything in life is a large part of what determines your success. This is more true when one is seeking a love partner because of the intensity of the emotions connected to loving and being loved.
Looking for love can make one feel insecure, or self-conscious. Perhaps you have had a bad relationship in the past and are afraid to open yourself to more pain or disappointment.
You may have a good idea of all the things you want from a partner, but wonder if you have what it takes to attract such a fantastic person. If you are shy, making the first move can seem nearly impossible. You might feel lonely, and don't believe that there could really be someone out there just for you. Trying to attract love can stir up a myriad of unhealthy emotions that can block your intention and focus.
A gemstone with love properties will not magically make your soulmate appear. But it can help you to develop a healthy state of mind that will allow you to find the love you are looking for. Gemstones emit energy - you can channel that energy through yourself to achieve the love you seek.
Attracting Love
If you are looking for a stone to attract love, romantic Rose Quartz is your stone.
This quartz crystal is so powerful in opening the heart at so many levels that it often needs amethyst to calm things down!
Rose quartz is a stone of unconditional love. Calming and reassuring, it gives one an appreciation and love of self; it opens the door to sensitivity and strengthens empathy. It restores trust and creates inner harmony.
If you have never received love, it will open a path; if you have lost in love, it will offer comfort. If you have been damaged by an unhealthy relationship, it will strip away negativity and replace it with self-trust and self-worth.
Some Of The Ways Rose Quartz Can Be Used To Attract Love:
* Place a rose quartz sphere in a location where you want to draw love all around
you.
* Use a rose quartz wand to focus energy and intention on your soulmate.
* A rose quartz stone under the pillow at night will keep you young and bring the
love of your dreams to you.
* Perform a love ritual using a rose quartz heart. The heart carved from rose
quartz is a powerful love symbol.
* Use a rose quartz egg to make love grow or bring fertility.
* Wear rose quartz jewelry to attract love or to develop more self-love.

Firing Up The Passion
Although the intensity of love is always highest at the "new love" stage, this is no reason that you shouldn't experience fiery passion many years into your relationship.
"New love" has the distinct advantage of discovery - both partners have so many new things to explore about one another that much of the passion is provided by the excitement of discovering the unknown. When love is brand new, even the smallest things seem fantastically exciting.
Over time, the passion that comes with new love inevitably diminishes. Most of us are familiar with the feeling that "the honeymoon is over!" This is the time to wake up the real passion that is sleeping within you and your partner.
For a "passion booster use the stone connected to the planet that is the center of so many love songs and poems that it has become synonymous with romance!
Moonstone 
Moonstone has a long history as a stone of romance. According to the Romans, moonstone formed moonlight. Ancient Hindus believed it was composed from actual moonbeams. In India, this stone is considered so sacred that it is only displayed on a yellow silk cloth, as yellow is an especially sacred color. It is the stone of the Roman goddess Diana - who embodies fertility, abundance, nature, providence and freedom.
As a gift for lovers, the moonstone takes the highest rank due to its power to arouse passion and allow lovers to see into their future fortunes (good and bad). Intuition is a large part of the moonstone's energy, as is fertility. Fertility traditionally means the bearing of children but also includes nurturing your love to thrive and grow in a healthy fashion.
Some of the ways you can intensify passion in the bedroom:
* Place a moonstone sphere or moonstone wand near your bedside.
* During a full moon, hold a moonstone in your power hand - visualizing deeper
passion with your lover.
* Wear moonstone jewelry.
* Make a gift of moonstone to your lover after cleaning it of all others' energy and
have them keep it in a safe spot where others will not touch it.
To increase sexual energy and attraction: | Moonstone + Sunstone |
To encourage creativity, eroticism or spontaneity with your lover: | Moonstone + Rhodochrosite |
To heal emotional scars or wounds from past relationships that may inhibit your ability to experience passion in a new relationship: (Moonstone is the stone of "new beginnings" while Rhodonite is a "rescue stone") | Moonstone + Rhodonite |
Gemstones can be carried together in an amulet pouch, displayed in a decorative bowl, held in the hand during meditation, worn as jewelry or used in any way that seems most comfortable to you in pulling the energies from the stones. |
