Belle's memory stone, and the healing powers of Rose Quartz

Phee, I had a closer look, and you’re right that it looks more like Amethyst.  But I still think that the properties of Rose Quartz are a better fit.

Here is a picture of Amethyst, then Rose Quartz, and then Belle’s stone.  (It’s not the best quality screencap, but it’s what I could make.)

So I can’t seem to stop tinkering with this. 😉

Here is a further refined version of what I sent in to the podcast. 🙂

 

The stone that Grand Pabbie gave to Belle, to help restore her memories, looked like either Rose Quartz, or Amethyst (which is also a type of Quartz).

Of course, it makes perfect sense that Rock Trolls would offer up Rock Medicine for healing!

But beyond that, there is a common mystical practice of using gemstones to provide healing energy, and each type of stone has different healing properties.

Belle’s stone looked a little more like Amethyst, but I think the properties of Rose Quartz seem a better fit for both Belle in general, and her experiences in this episode (in both the past and the present).

Here are just a few of the properties and uses of Rose Quartz.

(Taken from: http://www.crystalvaults.com/crystal-encyclopedia/rose-quartz )

This part seems to describe Belle in general:

The fair and lovely Rose Quartz, with its gentle pink essence, is a stone of the heart, a Crystal of Unconditional Love.

Rose Quartz also inspires the love of beauty, in self and others, in nature, and especially that which stimulates the imagination – art, music and the written word.

While this part is the very thing she needed in the past, while she was grappling with grief and acceptance.

Rose Quartz is a mothering crystal, inspiring nurturing of the self if one has lost their own mother.

Rose Quartz is a calming and reassuring crystal, excellent for use in trauma or crisis, including the emotional upheaval of mid-life crisis. It strengthens empathy, sensitivity, and aids in the acceptance of necessary change. It is also an excellent stone for comforting grief.

And in the present day, this would have shielded her from the effects of the mirror, as it seems to do the exact opposite of what the mirror does!

It dissolves the sorrows, worries, fears and resentments suppressing the heart’s ability to give and receive love, and replaces it with healing, comfort and inner nourishment.

It encourages the dissolution of anger and resentment, fear and suspicion, and brings the Light of healing, the rebirth of hope, and faith in the benevolence of the Universe.

And finally, this speaks to the feelings that drove Belle for much of the episode: her feelings of guilt over her mistake and her lie, as well as her feeling responsible for what befell Anna. (Which was really not her fault.)

The Divinatory meaning of Rose Quartz: Forgive yourself for past mistakes and do not accept the blame others try to offload for their inadequacies.
