Rose quartz is a sought-after member of the quartz family. This variety of quartz is translucent in nature. It can be cloudy, grainy, or hazy in appearance. Starting from peach, the range of this gemstone’s colors can move to vivid pink and almost purple. The stone owes its color to the presence of tiny amounts of manganese, iron, and titanium in the mineral composition. With a score of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, it is a fairly hard stone. Due to its alluring colors and hardness, it is used both as a gemstone and as an ornamental stone. Rose quartz is regarded as a soothing gemstone that promotes love, warmth, and emotional healing. That is why it is also known as the Heart Stone or the Love Stone. Interestingly, a rare variety of pink quartz or crystalline rose quartz exists in nature.
