Rose Quartz Description
Rose Quartz is one of the many quartz varieties used as a gem material. It gets its name from its delicate pink color, which ranges from very light (almost white) to medium-dark. The most appealing color tend to be rare. Rose quartz is always found in massive form, so it lacks regular, flat crystal faces. It's typically found in pegmatites, but also occurs in hydrothermal veins.
More About Rose Quartz
This pastel gem's inclusions give it a characteristic cloudy translucence, so it's generally cut into beads and cabochons. Sometimes, the inclusions produce a six-rayed star if the fashioned gem is cabochon-cut and correctly oriented. Fine examples show a distinct, sharp, star floating above even pink bodycolor. The most transparent rose quartz rough might be faceted. Cutters can intensify the delicate color by applying concave facets and cutting gems in larger sizes.
