The pink color of rose quartz ranges from a very light, almost imperceptible pink, to a rich translucent pink. It is usually cut into cabochons, beads, and faceted stones of about eight millimeters in size or larger to display the rich pink color.

Here is my pretty little Quartz rock I found a few days ago on my walk.The rock was dirty and all I could see a tiny bit of Quartz which I found so pretty. So when I got home I cleaned it and got quite a surprise when the whole rock was quartz. It's sitting proudly on the shelf outside next to my Kookaburra Garden ornament.
Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO2), commonly found in various rocks. It's the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust and has many forms and colors. Quartz is known for its diverse applications, ranging from gemstones like amethyst and citrine to its use in electronics and construction materials.

This image is from last weekend when I ventured up Quarts Creek, or also known as Quartsville creek. I can't emphasize enough how beautiful it is up in this part of the Oregon cascade mountains. I have been up here before a few years ago, but not with a camera. There is so many opportunities for stream / creek side shots up here, not to mention the many tributaries as well. I will be back to this area several times I suppose :)
It was Chuck Harkins who re-kindled my desire to go up here by encouraging me to do so. Thanks Chuck !
It certainly looks it's best viewed large on black here B l a c k M a g i c
Lots of quartz around this area. They also mine for talc.
