GEOLOGICAL

Rose Quartz is the name for opaque to translucent macro-crystalline Quartz that is light to dark pink in colour. There are now two distinct types of Rose Quartz. One is what we traditionally know as Rose Quartz. Common Rose Quartz only ever forms in massive (i.e. lacking any distinct crystal shapes). Madagascan Rose Quartz tends to be fairly light in general but is famously very gemmy with a high frequency of rare star asterisms.

Recent testing of common Rose Quartz shows nanofibers of pink Dumortierite included in the Quartz material are responsible for the colour, and not titanium, iron or manganese as previously believed. When polished, these fibres sometimes create an optical effect in the Quartz called a star asterism, similar to Sapphire. Rose Quartz with a visible star asterism is also known as Star Rose Quartz. Common Rose Quartz can also occur with certain colour hues:

• Red tinted (Hematite inclusions),
• Blue tinted (blue Dumortierite inclusions) – tradenamed Blue Rose Quartz or
• Grey tinted (with Graphite inclusions or after irradiation exposure) – tradenamed Lunar Rose Quartz.

 

The second type of Rose Quartz forms distinct crystals. Considered very rare, so far this crystalline Rose Quartz is only found in Brazil. Pale pink crystals growing over Smoky Quartz crystals in small parallel groups. This Rose Quartz is believed to get its colour from irradiation and not nanofibre inclusions as with common massive Rose Quartz.

Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is one of the most important stones for the heart chakra. It teaches the essence of true love. By purifying and opening the heart on all levels, Rose Quartz brings a deep inner healing and self love. Calming and reassuring, Rose Quartz is excellent for use in trauma or crisis.

Rose Quartz gently draws off negative energy and replaces it with loving vibes. It can help restore trust and harmony in relationships. Additionally, it strengthens empathy and compassion, including self-compassion. You can place Rose Quartz in the relationship corner of the bedroom or home (far right corner). Pair with Amethyst for balance in existing relationships.
