Q: What is Rose Quartz made of?

Rose Quartz has the chemical formula SiO₂, crystallises in the trigonal system and measures 7 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Recent electron-microscopy studies attribute the pale pink color of most massive rose quartz to fine pink dumortierite fibres suspended in the quartz matrix. Rarer, transparent pink quartz owes its color instead to aluminum and phosphorus color centers activated by natural radiation.
