What is Rose Quartz? (Silicon Dioxide)
Pink Quartz Stone is a macrocrystalline species with SiO₂ (Silicon Dioxide) composition, belonging to the Quartz mineral group. Its color results from the presence of trace elements such as Titanium, Manganese and Iron, which are trapped in the crystal lattice during the formation of the stone. In some samples, microscopic rutile fibers create the color.
Mohs: 7 • Density: 2.65 g/cm³ • Chemical Class: Tectosilicate
Thanks to its high hardness, it is a popular stone suitable for daily use and jewelry making. It is generally found in nature in massive (non-crystallized) form, but crystalline forms are rare.
