Quartz crystals with a clear pink tone are called Rose Quartz, but the colour and properties of a Rose Quartz can vary greatly depending on how it is created. The colour is caused by microscopic inclusions of other minerals. The gems appear in different colours and levels of transparency. The colour of the rose quartz also depends on the light source. Most Rose Quartz looks beautiful in sunlight or in the light of light bulbs, but pale and colorless in the light of fluorescent tubes.
The extraction of rose quartz is very labor-intensive since the material has to be removed by hand. If you use explosives, the crystal bursts and receives tiny cracks. If an interesting site has been identified, holes up to three meters deep are drilled, each about 15 cm from the next. Chisels or wedges are placed in these holes, which are hammered deep into the holes one by one until the rock breaks off.

It is perfect for strengthening empathy, sensitivity and aids the acceptance of change. Emotionally there is no better stone, allowing you to realize unexpressed emotions while teaching you to love yourself.
