Introduction Rose quartz is a pale pink to rose-red variety of quartz. Quartz is the second most plentiful mineral found in the Earth’s crust. Rose Quartz occurs only in massive formations, with no crystal faces, edges or points. It is often hazy or turbid; therefore it lacks good transparency. It also contains microscopic fibers, which can on occasion produce a cat’s eye or star effect within the stone. Rose quartz crystals are formed when the pressure within the earth pushes molten lava into cracks and crevices. Within these fissures minerals, usually titanium, iron, or manganese, begin to mix with other minerals, and it is during this process that rose quartz crystals begin to form. The first rose quartz crystals were found near Rumford, Maine, USA, but today most crystals come from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Rose Quartz - Ancient Lore and Legends …show more content…
