Rose quartz though inexpensive is one of the most popular, well known minerals with a distinct pink color, which comes from the quartz rich cores of pegmatites in Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa and Namibia and has deposits in United States, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Argentina and elsewhere. These crystals colored by phosphate are rare and do not exist in another delusion.
