Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, behind feldspar.
Rose Quartz is found in a course-grained igneous rock (usually granite). Its colors range from a pastel pink to a rose-pink hue, including orangey and violet pinks, and are believed to be caused by trace amounts of minerals, like titanium and Dumortierite inclusions. It can be transparent to translucent with soft radiating glow, but many times will have a milky pink color.
Mozambique Rose Quartz has a softer color, with a lavender hue. It has more of a milky quality with a soft radiating inner glow. Much of the Rose Quartz that is sold today is found in Brazil, South Africa, India, and Madagascar. There is also Rose Quartz found in the United States and it is South Dakota’s and Georgia’s State Mineral.
