Rose Quartz is the commonly occurring pink variety of the mineral Quartz. Rose Quartz is abundant throughout the world often found in massive form lacking crystal faces or in clusters of small prismatic crystals. Some very large several thousand-pound specimens of Rose Quartz have been discovered and carved into large sculptures or spheres. Smaller and more translucent specimens have been cut into gems, cabochons, tumbled, and used as beads. Fully transparent Rose Quartz crystals, also sometimes called Pink Quartz, exist but are nowhere near as common. A variety displaying asterism exists, called Star Rose Quartz, with the right fracture or cut its star pattern radiates and shines like the finest pink gemstone. Rose Quartz has been found in large deposits in Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa, Mozambique, India, and the United States. The pink coloring and diaphaneity. of Rose Quartz can be usually attributed to microscopic inclusions of a pink variety of the mineral dumortierite. These inclusions are usually abundant enough to make the Rose Quartz hue translucent and hazy instead of clear and transparent.
