GEMSTONE MARBLES 

ROSE QUARTZ


This is Rose Quartz (pink color) gemstone marbles. These gemstone marbles are exclusively designed for customers who has previously bought the Chinese Checkers chess set with classic glass marbles. The production of these gemstone marbles is from a different source other than the chess producer. This will ensure the gemstones are produced by competent persons in their trade.

While the same type of gemstone is classified into different gradings, I have specifically requested the gemstone producer to supply me with what they called the "A" grade product. These are the ones with the best quality and also the highest unit cost. There is also a further selection process when I collect these gemstone marbles: the gemstone producer manufactures more than my ordered quantity, so that I may pick the best among the best. These processes have minimized the possibility of defects in the gemstones, and also reduced variations between the same type of gemstone marbles.

 

THE TYPE OF SELECTED GEMSTONE

Rose Quartz:
It is a unique pink stone, unlike any other pink mineral species. The color is a result of iron and titanium impurities. Rose quartz is abundant in quantity and its vivid pink color can go with anything. It is the anniversary stone for the 2nd year of marriage.

Rose quartz is said to present the power to balance emotions and to open the heart.

One thing to keep in mind: Rose Quartz fades in the sun, so it is important to avoid exposing it for a prolonged period in sunlight.
