Rose quartz....(HMM)

Macro Mondays and Rock

 

 

Rose quartz is a variety of quartz. The colour varies from dark pink to very light, translucent pink. Rose quartz, named after the pink colour, is often cracked and usually slightly cloudy. Very small rutile needles cause a six-radiate star in cabochon grinding. The colouring substances are titanium and manganese. The color may fade. Rose quartz has been worked as a gemstone for a long time.
