What is Rose Quartz?
Rose quartz is a type of quartz crystal that has been coloured by inclusions of titanium, iron and manganese. These minerals are responsible for the pink hue. Rose quartz is found all over the world, but it's most well-known as being mined in Brazil and Madagascar. It's also known as rosa de Brasil (Brazilian rose) or rosa do Brasil (Brazilian rose). The name "rose" comes from its colour-the same way that pink roses are named after their colour rather than their botanical classification. Rose quartz was used for thousands of years as jewellery and decoration before being discovered by scientists in 1797 by Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin at Mont Saint Hilaire near Montreal Quebec Canada
