From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Rose quartz is a type of quartz, that has a pale pink hue. The color is due to a small quantity of titianium impurity.
It is not very popular as a faceted gem because its pink color is often too pale and the stones are always cloudy, and very often have large flaws in them. When rose quartz is cut in cabochons, or rounded into beads for necklaces or carved, it is far more effective.
