About the Stone
Rose quartz gets its colour from microscopic fibrous inclusions spread through the quartz, and those same inclusions scatter light, which is why the stone looks cloudy rather than clear. Faint paler streaks are part of the material. Depth of pink varies between batches of rough and cannot be matched exactly from one bracelet to the next.

Quartz (macrocrystalline)

- Note
Rose quartz owes its pink to microscopic fibrous inclusions of a borosilicate mineral distributed through the quartz, not to a dissolved colouring agent. Those inclusions also scatter light, which is why the stone reads as translucent and milky rather than glassy-clear.
