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.

Another from my mineral collection is this quartz. When small crystals grow in this sugar-like formation along the main 'stems' it is known as druzy, hence druzy quartz. Lead inclusions can also be seen as flecks in the crystals.

My second choice for Macro Mondays but I thought 'misfit' could be interpreted here as 'essential component'?!

"A SINGLE STONE"

 

Bow Fiddle Rock is a natural sea arch near Portknockie on the north-eastern coast of Scotland. It is so called because it resembles the tip of a fiddle bow. It is composed of Quartzite, a metamorphic rock which was originally quartz sandstone.

This rock is part of the Cullen Quartzite formation which is seen along the coast between Buckie and Cullen. The formation is some 2,400m thick and dates from the Neoproterozoic Era, 1,000 to 541 million years ago.

Agate is a fine-grained variety of quartz known as chalcedony that shows concentric color banding. The colors in this agate are caused by microscopic inclusions of iron oxide minerals in the quartz. Agates are commonly found in cavities in volcanic rock, where silica-rich water deposited quartz crystals layer by layer parallel to the cavity wall.

Brazil is the major commercial source of agate.
