Rose Quartz History

Rose quartz is a soft pink variety of quartz known for its gentle, translucent color that ranges from very pale blush to deeper rosy tones. The color is caused by trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese within the crystal. Its name comes directly from its rosy hue, which resembles the color of rose petals. Rose quartz is found in many parts of the world, with major sources including Brazil, Madagascar, India, and South Africa. It has been used in jewelry and carvings for thousands of years, with ancient civilizations valuing it for its beauty and use in decorative objects. Today, rose quartz remains one of the most popular pink gemstones because of its soft color, availability, and smooth, polished appearance.
