The heart chakra, Anahata, sits at the center of the chakra system — four below it, three above — and governs the capacity to give and receive love, to grieve, to forgive, and to remain open after being hurt. Its element is air. Its color is green, sometimes pink. When it is balanced, relationships feel possible and loss feels survivable. When it is closed, everything feels defended and far away. The stones in this collection are the softest in the mineral world in terms of energy — rose quartz, green aventurine, rhodonite, jade, malachite, morganite, chrysoprase. Wear them when you are working on staying open.
Anahata. The unstruck sound. The place where love lives when it has nowhere else to go.
The Heart Chakra
In the chakra system originating in ancient Indian tantric traditions, Anahata is the fourth of seven energy centers. It bridges the lower three chakras, which govern physical and emotional survival, with the upper three, which govern expression, perception, and consciousness. The heart is the hinge. Its associated practices include breathwork, compassion meditation, time in nature, and physical touch. Wearing heart chakra stones is one of the oldest cross-cultural practices for supporting emotional wellbeing.
Rose Quartz
Pink quartz, colored by trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese. The most widely used stone for love and emotional healing across cultures and centuries. Found in Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa, and India. Associated with self-love, gentle healing, and the opening of the heart after loss or difficulty. One of the most universally accessible stones — soft in color, soft in energy, and genuinely beautiful in raw form.
Green Aventurine
A variety of quartz with fuchsite mica inclusions that give it a sparkling shimmer called aventurescence. Typically medium to bright green. Associated with optimism, emotional calm, and the willingness to try again. One of the more cheerful stones in the heart chakra family — less about grief and more about possibility.
Rhodonite
A manganese silicate mineral occurring in pink to deep rose with distinctive black manganese oxide veining. Found primarily in Russia, Australia, and Sweden. Associated with emotional balance, forgiveness, and the healing of old wounds. The black veining against the pink is visually striking and makes each piece unique. A stone for the harder work of the heart.
Jade
A term covering two distinct minerals: nephrite (a calcium magnesium silicate) and jadeite (a sodium aluminum silicate). Both occur in green, though jadeite produces the more vivid imperial green. One of the most culturally significant stones in human history, revered in Chinese, Mesoamerican, and Maori traditions for thousands of years. Associated with harmony, longevity, and the protection of the heart.
Malachite
A copper carbonate hydroxide mineral with distinctive banded green patterns ranging from pale mint to deep forest green. Found primarily in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Russia, and Australia. Associated with transformation, emotional release, and the clearing of old patterns. One of the most visually dramatic stones in the heart chakra family. Raw malachite dust is toxic — all pieces are sealed and safe to wear.
Morganite and Chrysoprase
Morganite is a pink variety of beryl, the same mineral family as emerald and aquamarine, colored by manganese. Associated with divine love, compassion, and emotional healing at a deep level. Chrysoprase is an apple-green chalcedony colored by nickel, associated with joy, optimism, and the lightness that follows grief. Both are less common than rose quartz and worth seeking out for their particular quality of energy.
Materials and Care
All pieces are set in electroformed copper or wire-wrapped brass, handcrafted in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Malachite should be kept away from acids and prolonged water exposure. Remove all pieces before water and chemicals. Store dry. Copper develops a natural patina over time.
