Rose quartz is known as the Heart Stone and is thought to inspire imagination and love. Harness that energy with these Rose Quartz Melt and Pour Soaps. They feature a soft pink hue with swirls of white to emulate the real stone. They are scented with Rose Quartz Fragrance Oil, which is a fresh and citrusy spin on a rose scent.

The soaps couldn’t be easier to make. After mixing in color and fragrance oil, the white and pink soap are poured together into the mold and swirled together. Get tips on how to swirl melt and pour soap here. Once the soap has fully cooled, use a non-serrated knife to cut the soap into gem shapes. The leftover soap can be used in future gem projects, such as the Freeform Purple Gemstones.

What You’ll Need:
12 Cavity Rectangle Silicone Mold
16 oz. Clear Melt & Pour Soap Base
16 oz. White Melt & Pour Soap Base
1 tsp. Rose Gold Mica
10 mL Rose Quartz Fragrance Oil
Dropper
99% Isopropyl Alcohol in Spray Bottle

ONE: Chop 16 ounces of White Melt and Pour Soap and 16 ounces of Clear Melt and Pour Soap into small uniform pieces. Place them into separate heat safe containers and melt in the microwave using 30 second bursts.

TWO: Once the bases are completely melted, disperse 1 teaspoon Rose Gold Mica into 1 tablespoon 99% isopropyl alcohol. Mix to get rid of any chunks of mica. Add all the dispersed mica into the melted clear soap.

THREE: Add 5 mL of Rose Quartz Fragrance Oil into the melted clear soap, and 5 mL into the melted white soap. Stir in completely.

FOUR: Check the temperature of the soap. Both bases should be about 125-130° F to create wispy swirls. Fill about half of the mold with white soap. Then, pour the pink soap into the white soap until the cavity is full. You can alternate pouring the colors, or pour them at the same time. Use a chopstick, dowel, or small spoon to swirl the soap. Spritz with 99% isopropyl alcohol to get rid of any bubbles on top.

FIVE: Repeat this process until all the soap is poured. Allow the soap to fully cool and harden for several hours or up to overnight. Remove them from the mold.

SIX: Use a sharp non-serrated knife to cut the soaps into gem shapes. There is no right or wrong way to do it – just have fun with it.

SEVEN: Wrap the bars in plastic wrap to help prevent glycerin dew. Enjoy!

Gems and crystals make great gifts. If your budget doesn’t allow for the real deal, soap gems are a great alternative. The Silicone Gemstone Mold creates perfectly-sized bars to put in a gift box or bag.

These gem soaps are simple to make and great for beginners. They’re easy to customize with color and fragrance to suit your preference. If you’re giving them as gifts, a variety of colors look lovely in a gift box. Or, create the recipient’s birthstone for an extra thoughtful touch. To help make your gift wrapping pop, print this “You’re a Real Gem” label template on label paper and apply to your gift box.

For this tutorial, the gems are made in batches. Because the mold cavities are so small, it’s tricky to split one batch into different colors. We recommend making a batch of one color, allowing the soap to cool, removing them from the mold, and making another batch with a different color. The recipe below is written for one batch.

What You’ll Need:
Silicone Gemstone Mold
5 oz. Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base
About 1/16 tsp. Fine Silver Rainbow EcoGlitter
3 mL Jade Fragrance Oil

Colorants Used (2-4 Mini Scoops per batch)
Shamrock Green Mica
Lavender Mica
Caribbean Blue Mica
Buttercup Mica
Red Mica
Rose Gold Mica
Super Pearly White Mica
.15 CC Scoop (for measuring colorant)
Dropper (for measuring fragrance)
99% Isopropyl Alcohol in Spray Bottle
“You’re a Real Gem” Label Template
Waterproof Labels

ONE: Chop 5 ounces of Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base into small even cubes. Place them in a small heat-safe container and melt in the microwave using 10-20 second bursts. Because you’re working with such a small amount of soap, be careful to not burn it.

THREE: Using the .15 CC Mini Scoops, add 2-4 scoops of mica into the melted soap. Some colorants require a little more to get a saturated color, so add 2 scoops at first and add more from there if you like. Use a spoon to mix it in. Because it’s not mixed with alcohol it will be a little clumpy at first, but will disperse into the soap with a little extra stirring.

FOUR: Add 3 mL of the Jade Fragrance Oil into the soap. Use a spoon to mix in.

FIVE: Add about 1/16th tsp. of Fine Silver Rainbow EcoGlitter and stir in. Feel free to add more glitter if you’d like.

SIX: Pour the soap into each cavity of the mold. It’s best to pour the soap when it’s around 125 ° F or the glitter may sink to the bottom. After each pour, spritz the top of the soap with 99% isopropyl alcohol to disperse any bubbles.

SEVEN: Allow the soap to fully cool and harden in the mold. This will take about an hour. Remove each gem from the mold. Repeat the process with a different color. Below is soap colored with Red Mica. Keep repeating the process until you’ve made a variety of colors to place into your gift box. The variety of colors is completely up to you!

EIGHT: Once you’ve made all the soaps you want, print the “You’re a Real Gem” label on label paper and apply to your box. These gem soaps would also look great in a plastic bag tied with a ribbon. The labels could easily be made into hang tags for bags.
