Rose quartz Single-sided Polished from Madagascar
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.
