Physical properties

Hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, pale pink to rose-red color, vitreous to greasy luster, trigonal crystal system (amorphous/massive in tumbled form), conchoidal fracture, specific gravity of 2.65.

Formation & geological history

Forms primarily in pegmatites and hydrothermal veins, as well as in metamorphic and sedimentary environments through the crystallization of silica-rich solutions under high pressure and temperature.

Uses & applications

Widely used in jewelry, ornamental carvings, crystal healing, and as a popular collector's mineral.

Geological facts

Rose quartz owes its delicate pink color to microscopic fiber inclusions of dumortierite or microscopic trace amounts of titanium and iron within the quartz structure.

Field identification & locations

Easily identified by its distinct pink hue and typical quartz hardness of 7; found worldwide with major deposits in Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa, and the USA.
