Rose Quartz is a translucent to opaque variety of quartz recognized for its soft pink coloration, which ranges from pale blush to deeper rose tones. At Dakota Stones, we value Rose Quartz for its consistent color, good availability, and versatility in jewelry design. Its relatively high Mohs hardness makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Rose Quartz beads often display a gentle luster and may show internal cloudiness or slight inclusions, which are typical for this stone.
