Rose Quartz Tumble

$5.00

Rose Quartz Tumble - Polished Pink Quartz Rose Quartz is a pink variety of quartz (SiO₂) known for its soft, rosy hue. These tumbled stones have been polished smooth, revealing the gentle pink color that makes rose quartz so beloved. What Causes the Pink Color: The pink color of rose quartz has been attributed to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese within the crystal structure. Some specimens contain microscopic fibrous inclusions of a pink borosilicate mineral similar to dumortierite, which contribute to the color. Physical Properties: Chemical Formula: SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale (good scratch resistance) Luster: Vitreous (glass-like) when polished Transparency: Translucent to opaque Formation: Rose quartz typically forms in pegmatites and is found in massive form rather than as well-formed crystals. Major sources include Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa, India, and the United States (South Dakota). Historical Use: Rose quartz has been used in jewelry and as a decorative stone since ancient times. Beads dating back to 7000 BC have been found in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). Care: Rose quartz can fade with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with mild soap and water. Images shown are examples only—each tumbled stone is unique and your stone will vary in color, pattern, and size. Shipping will be calculated at checkout. Sources: Wikipedia, Britannica
