Rose-Quartz (SiO2) Some information for proffesional buyers
History and General Information of Rose Quartz Gemstone
The light pink to rose red variety of macro crystalline, coarse grained, common quartz is referred to as Rose quartz. When impurities of iron, titanium or manganese are present in the natural quartz gem along with microscopic inclusions of dumortierite, it gives rise to this beautiful rose hue that makes the stone a delight to behold. It is favored by people looking for a subdued, yet sparkling stone, to enhance jewelry. It is found as solid mass in large pegmatite cores, or in hydrothermal veins. The slightly reddish tone of the stone finds it being called the “Bohemian Ruby’” although it has none of the characteristics of a ruby.
The oldest known use of natural rose quartz gemstone has been traced to Mesopotamia in 7000 BC, when it was used as beads. The Assyrians and Romans too used it, with the Romans creating ownership seals with the stone. Historically it was valued as a symbol of love and beauty and was often referred to as “stone of gentle love” and also as the “stone of unconditional love.”
