SKU: SH011 Categories: Quartz - Rose, Ruler, Fan, Rough, Slab, Chunk Tags: feminine, fertility / sexuality, perseverance, stress / anxiety

These Brazilian and Madagascan Rose Quartz Roughs are 100% natural in a pretty pink colour. Some will typically has orange streaks through it where iron didn’t quite integrate into the quartz enough, and some have clay inclusions. A grade have little of either and are better colour.

These chunk sizes are a comfortable hand hold but a bit heavy for carrying in a bag. Weights are +/- 5%. Dimensions are guide. I have included an inside photograph (never as nice as outside) taken of the 400g .. you can see the colour variation in the pinks. We have little to no small rose quartz roughs under 400g left at the shops hence why none on the website.

You can buy these rose quartz roughs which are best known for unconditional love. But in my experience is that it is to remind us love goes both ways: to give and to receive. But this crystal is especially for those who struggle with the idea that they need to receive love and support to be balanced and not just give it.

Shamarah's intuitive insights

Stone for those who give a lot of love and support to others but feel "wrong" to receive it themselves. It reminds the holder to let love in because the cycle of giving and receiving love builds the love you have to be stronger. When you keep noticing the rose quartz it is often a message that you have many in the physical and spiritual realms ready to support you - so let them in to give you a hand. Stones of fertility don't just mean pregnancy, but also the development (pregnancy) and birth of your creative endeavours - your projects.

Special Notes

It most often grows in masses - never even finding a leading edge of crystal points.
Occasionally found in crystal cluster form and was officially given own name of Pink Quartz but that has now gone.
Rose quartz occurs in pegmatites - it forms at very high temperatures, between 400 and 700 degrees Centigrade.
The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the material.
- Recent X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the color is due to thin microscopic fibers of possibly dumortierite within the quartz.
"Star" Rose Quartz has microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light.
The crystalline form in elestial in form was originally not called rose quartz and was called Pink Quartz.
- Often over grew smoky quartz.
- Found to leach very fast in UV light!
- Synthetic versions exist.
- These days all forms are called Rose Quartz.
Irradiation may cause the formation of smoky quartz color centers and add a gray tone.
Streaks of orange can occur from iron coating.
Mostly used for jewellery and decorative objects.
