Rose Quartz SiO Silicate Group, subgroup Quartz

One of the most common minerals on the earth is quartz. There are many varieties, this is rose quartz. The color is pale whitish-pink to dark rose pink. Magnesium, iron and titanium have been suggested to be the impurity which causes this cloudy pink. When heated the stones lose there color and will turn black when exposed to radiation. Many of these occurrences have been extracted from Brazil, which has the truest source of well formed crystals. Madagascar, California, and Maine have also been known for there rose quartz. Some also believe that rose quarts may have mystical abilities to empower love, and relieve emotional pain. I myself am a spiritual person and believe firmly in its powers.
