Physical properties
Hardness of 7 on Mohs scale, pale pink to rose-red color, vitreous luster, trigonal crystal system, conchoidal fracture with no true cleavage.
Formation & geological history
Forms primarily in pegmatites and hydrothermal veins during late-stage magmatic crystallization.
Uses & applications
Used widely for gemstone carving, decorative items, prayer beads, and holistic crystal healing practices.
Geological facts
The pink color is attributed to microscopic trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese embedded within the quartz structure.
Field identification & locations
Easily identified by its distinct pink hue and lack of cleavage; globally sourced from Brazil, Madagascar, and the USA.
