ROSE QUARTZ

These rose quartz cabochons feature a translucent creamy pink colour and a smooth, polished finish that suits a variety of jewelry styles. Use it by itself to create a simple pendant or combine it with complementary pastel-colour stones to create more complex necklace, earring and bracelet designs—it looks great with silver. Translucent rose quartz presents a creamy pink colour that comes from titanium and other inclusions.

One of the most common minerals, quartz comes in many varieties and colours. The two main categories are microcrystalline, which are usually transparent, and crystals are visible, and cryptocrystalline, which appear translucent or opaque. The many varieties of quartz each offer distinct characteristics and, according to folklore, their own powers and purposes.
