What Is Rose Quartz Made Of? 

Rose Quartz is a type of Quartz, which is a silicate mineral primarily composed of silicon dioxide.

The Quartz family of minerals encompasses a wide range of stones, including sub-sets such as Chalcedony gems like Jasper, Agate, and Carnelian. 

Quartz Crystals can occur in many colours, such as transparent Clear Quartz (or Rock Crystal), grey-brown Smoky Quartz, purple Amethyst Quartz (or Purple Quartz), golden-yellow Citrine and Yellow Quartz (or Golden Healer Quartz), Amethyst Crystals with Citrine (known as Ametrine Quartz) and red Hematoid Quartz (or Fire Quartz). 

Rose Quartz is the baby pink variety of this versatile mineral, and is sometimes thus referred to as Pink Quartz. 

Quartz Crystals can also show striking mineral inclusions to make Included Quartz, as in Quartz with Black Tourmaline, Rutilated Quartz, Dendritic Quartz, and Garden Quartz (also known as Scenic Quartz or Lodolite). 

What Makes Rose Quartz Pink?

The famous rose-pink colour of this stone is understood to be caused by traces of titanium, iron and manganese within the microscopic crystal structure, or the presence of tiny fibres of pink dumortierite.

However, scientists are still not certain as to the exact cause of Rose Quartz's enigmatic colour. 

Where Does Rose Quartz Come From?

Rose Quartz can be found in many locations worldwide including the USA, India, and Brazil. 

However, Madagascan Rose Quartz is considered by many to be the best in the world. 

This particular piece was sourced from the Antsirabe region of Madagascar. 

Rose Quartz History

Quartz’s name comes from the German language, however, the Ancient Greeks referred to what is now known as Clear Quartz with their word for ‘ice cold’. 

Prominent thinkers of the time believed the mineral to have been created from ice due to its clarity and transparency.

In Ancient Rome and Greek, Rose Quartz became an important symbol of the God of Love, (referred to as Eros by the Greeks, but most commonly known as Cupid), who was believed to have brought the stone down to Earth to spread romance and love.
