The soft pink variety of quartz, generally cloudy, or milky in appearance due to minute inclusions of foreign substances. It’s somewhat more rare than other varieties of quartz.
Rose quartz is not enhanced.
Rose quartz is a type of quartz which exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue. The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the massive material. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light.
In crystal form (rarely found) it is called pink quartz and its color is thought due to trace amounts of phosphate or aluminum. The color in crystals is apparently photosensitive and subject to fading. The first crystals were found in a pegmatite found near Rumford, Maine, USA, but most crystals on the market come from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
