The Charm of Pink Rose QuartzRose quartz belongs to the macrocrystalline quartz family, which also includes rock crystal, amethyst, citrine and smoky quartz. Macrocrystalline quartz, as the name suggests, has large crystals which can be distinguished by the naked eye. This type of quartz is mainly transparent to translucent, with a vitreous luster. Among the varieties of macrocrystalline quartz, rose quartz is somewhat unusual due to its unique translucent milky color. ![]() Asscher-Cut Rose Quartz Gemstone
Rose quartz ranges in color from a very pale pink to a rose red hue. The color is believed to be due to trace amounts of titanium, iron or manganese, though the chemistry of this quartz is not yet fully understood. Rose quartz color often appears milky, cloudy or hazy, which deepens the color and lends it a slight adularescent effect. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile needles, which can cause asterism. If rutile needles are present in the rose quartz then a star effect (asterism) is sometimes seen. The star can often be seen by looking at a light through the rose quartz, as well as when a light source is directed at the gem from above.
