Rose Quartz Worry Stone in drop shape from China
Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is the pink variety of quartz, which owes its colour to traces of titanium, iron or manganese, or to microscopic fibres of another mineral. The colour ranges from soft pale pink to intense pink and is usually translucent to opaque, with a glassy sheen. Rose quartz is widely used in jewellery and as a decorative stone.
Major deposits include Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa and the United States. The mineral occurs in pegmatites and hydrothermal veins. Its chemical formula is SiOâ‚‚ and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale. A rare variant is star-rose quartz, which may show asterism in polished cabochons due to fine inclusions of rutile.

Worry Stones
Other names for this cut stone include thumb stone or worry stone. The Worry Stone has a dimple in which the thumb can be placed. Moving or rubbing the thumb in this dimple would possibly have a calming effect, which explains the origin of the names mentioned. We offer worry stones in three different forms: Oval, Heart and Drop.
