MINERAL COMPOSITION

Rose Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide and is a variety of quartz. The pink colour comes from trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the quartz. Like other types of quartz, most Rose Quartz is formed through the process of magma crystallization, making magmatic pegmatites the primary source of larger Rose Quartz. However, this is not the only possible method of formation, as this mineral can also be found in hydrothermal veins. Note also that unlike most quartz, Rose Quartz forms in mass, is asymmetrical and does not form crystal faces. Quartz of similar colour, formed in points is called Pink Quartz and has a different chemical structure.

In conclusion, Rose Quartz is a pink mineral known for its metaphysical properties, specifically associated with the balancing of the Heart Chakra and promoting self-love. It is also known for its historic uses in carvings and jewellery. It can be cleansed through common cleansing methods.
