Soft pink in color, rose quartz is the variety of quartz whose blush-to-raspberry hue is attributed to microscopic fibers of dumortierite or to trace amounts of titanium and manganese. It has been valued as an emblem of love and beauty since at least 7000 BCE in Mesopotamia and remains among the most widely used gems for jewelry and carved decorative objects. Brazil, Madagascar, and South Africa are its principal sources. With a Mohs hardness of 7, rose quartz is durable enough for daily wear, and it is sometimes recognized as a January birthstone. Fully transparent material is scarce, so the stone is most often cut as beads, cabochons, and ornamental carvings.

About Rose Quartz

El cuarzo rosa es una delicada variedad de cuarzo de color rosa que va desde el rosa pálido al frambuesa intenso, y cuyo suave tono se atribuye a microinclusiones de fibras de dumortierita o a trazas de titanio y manganeso. Ha sido valorado como símbolo de amor y belleza al menos desde el año 7000 a.C. en Mesopotamia y sigue siendo una de las gemas más populares del mundo para joyería y objetos decorativos. Brasil, Madagascar y Sudáfrica son las principales fuentes de esta piedra universalmente amada.
