When it comes to natural materials of pink color, most often we mean the subtle nuances of minerals. Another thing is pink quartz! He is uncompromisingly rosy, although not always bright, and is never completely transparent.

The foggy depth of pink quartz is a highly valued property. Jewelers outplay the opacity of the stone as an element of aesthetic inconsistency. Litho therapists put the healing abilities of a mineral in dependence on the characteristics of its optical parameters. Esotericisms are convinced that out of the density of color and saturation of the “fog” in the array of gems, its magical possibilities result.

Beautiful, but unstable

The popularity of rose quartz is by no means limited to the price of a stone. Masters, adjusting gems cut into cabochons, warn: keep cool, keep the heat from the heat of the day and wear it in the evening. “Why? – The ladies are surprised. “After all, in the sun, pink quartz shines no worse than ruby!”

The explanation is given by scientists. The color of the mineral is due to an admixture of titanium ions to the silicon oxide, which forms the basis of the stone. The charge of the ions is unstable: as the temperature increases, it changes so that the titanium atoms cease to interfere with the passage of light through the array, and the quartz becomes transparent.

Complete decolonization of rose quartz occurs when the temperature reaches 300 ° C; however, lower doses of heat are sufficient to reduce the color level.

Pink quartz – not only pink

Various deposits – and pink quartz is mined in Karelia, Altai, Madagascar, the Alps, and America – gems of different shades are produced.

Purple (purple, lilac, and lilac) ebb of rose quartz is not, but if you want to find such stones in the market you can. In ultraviolet light, such quartzes exhibit the properties of fluorescence and give a weak, but very beautiful violet glow. Researchers say that the color variations of rose quartz are due to microscopic inclusions of iron and manganese compounds.

Unfortunately, most once-rich quartz mines are now depleted. Despite the constant increase in the extraction of technical quartz, the stone of jewelry quality is less and less … The tendency of brightly colored rose quartz to cracking further complicates the arrival of a fine gem on the jewelry market.

Rutile quartz also happens to be pink!

Rutile quartz is a product of a natural compound of titanium oxide and silica. The rutile crystals germinate in the quartz mass with needles-sometimes beams, sometimes disjointed, but always beautiful. Particularly expressive are quartz, the pink haze of which contrasts with the golden shine of rutile needles.

If the rutile inclusions are co-directional and thin to indistinguishability with the naked eye, pink quartz exhibits an asterism effect. The light flicker on the surface of such a cabochon takes the form of a six-beam star. The mysterious inner glow of the stone seems to hide under a pointed gleam…
