Rose Quartz Gemstones
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.

Lay-on stones are flat, tumbled and smoothly polished (precious) stones that, due to their oval to round shape and flat sides, are suitable for laying on the body, for instance during a relaxation moment. Compared to regular tumble stones and pocket stones, overlay stones have a more flattened shape, which makes them stay well in place. Despite this consistency, it remains a natural product, so variations in shape, colour and pattern can always occur. This can vary from one type of stone to another.
Generally, overlays have a size between 3 and 4 cm with a thickness of about 1 cm. Almost all our overlays are cut in China, where they are carefully selected and processed. The product photos give a good impression of what to expect. Lay-on stones are sold per 100 gr (1x), with a minimum order of 200 gr (2x).
