Rose Quartz


Rose Quartz(Rhodochrosite)



Rose quartz is a type of quartz which exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue. The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the massive material. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light. Recent X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the color is due to thin microscopic fibers of possibly dumortierite within the massive quartz.[10]
In crystal form (rarely found) it is called pink quartz and its color is thought to be caused by trace amounts of phosphate or aluminium. The color in crystals is apparently photosensitive and subject to fading. The first crystals were found in a pegmatite found near Rumford, Maine, USA, but most crystals on the market come from Minas Gerais, Brazil.[11]
Rose quartz is not popular as a gem – it is generally too clouded by impurities to be suitable for that purpose. Rose quartz is more often carved into figures such as people or hearts. Hearts are commonly found because rose quartz is pink and an affordable mineral.
Deposits have been found in Madagascar, India, Japan and Brazil, as well as in South Africa and South Dakota in the USA.
Rose quartz crystal colors range from very pale pink through to deep pink, and all have that wonderful loving vibration.
There are not a lot of quartz formations that this stone naturally occurs in. It is less often available as crystals... and is more commonly found in the massive form.
It may be translucent or transparent, although most pieces are fairly opaque. All colors and types have excellent healing qualities. There is also a variety called Strawberry Rose Quartz, and many of these are deeper colored stones... as well as some lighter very beautiful orangey pink stones.

The pink color of Rose Quartz (Rhodochrosite) is caused by the element manganese and it is formed when manganese is dissolved by ground water and combines with a carbonate material and then drips off the ceiling of caves and crevices deep underground. It is found in Argentina, Peru, and Montana, U.S.

Ranges from light red to rose red to pink, often with black spots and veins. The name is derived from the Greek word "rhodon" (pink) and "chros" (color). It is referred to as the Inca Rose by the Incas who believed the blood of their rulers turned into this stone.
