Rose Quartz Crystal Sphere
Stunning rose quartz polished spheres cut from material mined in Brazil.
Rose quartz is a pink variety of the mineral quartz. The exact shade of colour can vary depending on where the stone was mined.
For many years it was believed the pink colour was caused by titanium, manganese and iron. Following a series of studies in the late 1990's scientists learnt pink fibres of a mineral similar to dumortierite was more likely to be the reason for the stone's colour.
This polished rose quartz sphere may be purchased with or without the polished hematite stand. This elegant ring makes a perfect support for most crystal spheres.
The healing properties of hematite are associated with power and strength. Rose quartz is used for matters relating to the heart. It's known for being the ultimate stone of love, peace and tranquility.
The colour of rose quartz is generally believed to be stable. This means it shouldn't fade if exposed to sunlight. With that said some varieties are known to have lost colour after extensive exposure to bright sunlight.
To the human eye objects appear to be coloured because of the way they reflect light. For this reason the shade of pink in these rose quartz spheres can look different depending on how they're being illuminated. They look pinker in our first two photos because of reflections from the copper coloured plate. In the last photo the sphere appears to be less pink because of the colour of the background.
With each rose quartz sphere being cut from natural stone no two pieces are the same.
