SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ROSE QUARTZ:
1. Known as a romance stone, Rose Quartz can be used to attract love. Put a piece of Rose Quartz by your bedside table, or in the relationship corner of a room or home to attract new love. Rose quartz is thus also known as the Heart Stone or the Love Stone.
2. While it is considered a minor gemstone, it is not only popular among people who value rose quartz properties as soothing but it also appeals to many because of its subtle pink hue. The color is so pleasant that in 2016, Pantone selected it as their Color of the Year.
3. Like other types of quartz, most rose quartz is formed through the process of magma crystallization, making magmatic pegmatites the primary source of larger rose quartz crystals. It is believed that the stone owes its beautiful color to the presence of manganese, iron, and titanium.
4. To avoid confusion, it is also necessary to mention the existence of pink quartz, which often forms in smaller crystals, and which seems to owe its color to aluminum and phosphates. Also known as crystalline rose quartz, this variety is somewhat rarer, and characterized by greater clarity.
5. The oldest recorded pieces of jewelry containing these stones were beads found in present-day Iraq. They are believed to be a remnant of the Mesopotamian culture and have been dated all the way back to 7000 BC.
6. The Assyrians seem to be the next culture to prominently feature this stone in their craftsmanship, and they are probably responsible for the fact that the stone later became highly valued among Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians. The stone was ascribed with magical properties by these cultures, with some even believing it could counteract the effects of aging.
7. Rose quartz is photosensitive and fades on exposure to light.
