Let\u2019s explore what makes rose quartz pink<\/strong>: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are certain theories as to how rose quartz is formed and found in nature. The most accepted one says;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose quartz formation theory:\u00a0<\/strong>They are found in the form of igneous rocks deposits, in hydrothermal veins and\u00a0pegmatites. They are not found in\u00a0regular\u00a0crystalline\u00a0arrangements\u00a0instead they are found as alluvial deposits under river beds. It is here where water seeps in the\u00a0massive\u00a0mineral\u00a0deposits\u00a0of silicone\u00a0oxide\u00a0in combination with other trace elements in different proportions over innumerable time, years after years that rose quartz with it\u2019s peculiar pink smoothness is born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quartzes are mainly composed of silicon and oxygen. The crystals are formed inside the earth’s crust, surrounded by hot liquid or magma. However, the crystallization process<\/a> starts when the silicon-rich liquid seeps deep into the rocks and settles down in the nooks and corners of the stones. The stone is compressed and pressurized by the surrounding heated materials in the earth\u2019s crust.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sites of rose quartz deposits: <\/strong>At various places in the world, massive deposits of this romantic rose quartz are found in countries like Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka and Brazil. It\u2019s interesting to acknowledge that what makes rose quartz pink has some links to it\u2019s birth site. Thus, you will observe that Brazilian rose quartz are more pinkish in color whereas the ones from Madagascar are in lighter tinge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chemical composition as a reason for What Makes Rose Quartz Pink?<\/strong> In\u00a0very simple and precise words,\u00a0it\u2019s the combination of metallic oxide i.e\u00a0silicone oxide with various other metals in variable quantities that gives rose quartz its pink designated color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The color will remain pink, however, it\u2019s tone varies from almost whitish pink at one end to dark radiant pink or purplish hue on other end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most geologists are of the view that greater the concentration of Titanium oxide greater tinge of purple is dominant. On the contrary, redness is attributed to the presence of iron pigments in the silicon oxide rich rose quartz massive rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, there could be other metallic oxides like manganese oxide etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asterism is another variable of rose quartz where it\u2019s crystalline arrangements are such that when it\u2019s cut it gives a six headed star shaped appearance due to the 60 degree angular arrangement of the crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic formation of rose quartz involves the addition of metals like Aluminum, Phosphorus etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical spectrum of rose quartz:\u00a0<\/strong>What makes Rose Quartz pink is attributed to its physical properties on a broader vision being\u00a0like their parent quartz class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are pinkish in color, are translucent, hence will reflect most of the light. They have 7 hardness at Mohs scale so that they are harder to break and not fragile. Nevertheless, they are brittle. When you rub porcelain plate on its surface it leaves a white mark or streak, hence, in technical terms it\u2019s streak positive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming to it\u2019s cleavage plane, it doesn\u2019t exist, instead it givesconchoidal fractures. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Light wavelength reflection theory for pink color:\u00a0<\/strong>Nature doesn\u2019t produce anything as a sudden incidence. There are usually scientific\u00a0ground realities working silently over years before you discover, what you discover in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are wondering what makes Rose Quartz pink, look at the\u00a0parent metal silicone that reflects light with pink wavelength, hence it\u2019s pink color is\u00a0demonstrated to the visuals. The presence of trace elements either add or subtract the amount of pink light reflection hence explaining the pink intensity variations with impurities.\u00a0These are the simplest natural phenomena of light reflection that\u00a0explains both pink color and translucency\u00a0mentioned\u00a0above.\u00a0Thus, rose quartz is also light fast. So, you can leave it under light\u00a0without danger of it\u2019s being faded away. However, prolonged direct exposure should always be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications of <\/strong>rose quartz in every day life<\/strong>: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metaphysical application<\/strong>: It has been long use in the form of rings and decoration pieces\u00a0as it provides immense emotional well being. It helps to minimize the panic attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also is consumed popularly for it\u2019s heart chakra balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aesthetic application<\/strong>: It\u2019s feminine color has made it quite well known amongst ladies\u00a0for use as\u00a0figurines, necklaces, bracelets etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s aesthetically used in the form of facial rollers and massagers. When they are rolled over the skin surface they give both smoothness, take off the dirt and dust particles and add to skin freshness especially face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industrial tools<\/strong>: Due to it\u2019s hardness it\u2019s used\u00a0in\u00a0Gua\u00a0Shell tools.\u00a0It is used for rounding off gemstones also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

\n

Do they enhance the colour of Rose quartz?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n

Yes, depending upon the intended use, the rose quartz is treated with high temperatures and consequently, the colour of the stone changes and becomes darker.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What is the most beautiful colour of rose quartz?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n

The naturally found gem is mostly pastel pink, but after refining, they transform the shades, and the large pieces of rose quartz are mostly darker and more appealing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What is Robert Weldon Rose’s quartz?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n

There are many forms and types of rose quartz; the Robert Weldon is one used to make gems for jewellery items.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell, what makes rose quartz pink is quite obvious. Firstly, it\u2019s it\u2019s chemical composition with impurities that attributes to it\u2019s soothing pink color and its changing tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, the wavelength of light reflected also adds to the explanation of pinkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirdly, that\u2019s how nature has planned it to be and it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, rose quartz is used for various jewelry and aesthetic purposes besides the vast use of it\u2019s soothing, emotional healing and personal calmness experiences. Go get yours, as soothnessis serenity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
