Rose Quartz

Rose quartz is found in Madagascar, India, Germany, and several places in the USA (such as the famous site near Custer, South Dakota) but now most of the world’s supply of good quality rose quartz comes from Brazil. Rose quartz is one of the most desirable varieties of quartz and is in high demand for beautiful Rose Quartz jewellery. Its pink to rose-red colour is caused by iron and titanium impurities and is completely unique and quite unlike any other pink mineral. Rose quartz is usually too cloudy to be used as a cut gemstone, a few exceptional pieces are found with enough clarity and colour to make fine gems. Rose Quartz jewellery gives inner peace and helps open the heart to love. It also helps as a rejuvenator to the skin and is an alternative birthstone for the month of January.
