Rose quartz is the heart stone of modern crystal practice, kept for gentleness, warmth, and the kind of love you extend to yourself as much as to anyone else. That attribution is contemporary rather than ancient, and we name it as such: rose quartz has no entry in the older folk sources, so we leave its element and planet blank rather than inventing them.

The mushroom is a modern motif too, and an honest one: it belongs to the woodland, folk-witch aesthetic rather than to any old tradition of mushroom magic. What it has going for it is the mushroom's real character, a thing that appears overnight, does its quiet work in the dark, and vanishes. Worn at the throat, it is a small pink reminder, which is a perfectly good reason to wear something.

1. Cleanse it on arrival with smoke or moonlight; skip salt and long soaking, which are unkind to cord.
2. Wear it, and let it be the small reminder it is.
3. Hold the stone and name an intention, if the wearing is part of a working.
4. Adjust the cord to the length that suits the day.
5. Keep it from heat and lotions, and store it dry.

• Love Stones Kit, Set of 3: the heart-register starter pouch.
• Love Soy Votive Candle: the same register as a flame.

What is rose quartz kept for?

The love register: gentleness, warmth, and self-directed kindness. It is a modern crystal attribution rather than an old folk one, so we assign the stone no element or planet.

Does the mushroom mean anything?

It is a modern motif from the woodland-witch aesthetic rather than an old tradition. What it has going for it is the real mushroom's character: appearing overnight, working quietly, and vanishing.

Twenty-four inches, adjustable, with a clasp.

Will mine match the photo?

Closely, though rose quartz varies in shade and cloudiness, so each pendant is a little its own.

How do I care for it?

Cleanse with smoke or moonlight, keep it from water, heat, and lotions, and store it dry.
