Rose quartz, much like all other forms of quartz gemstones, started life within the molten lava that swirls within the earth to this day. The pressure within the earth pushes the liquid lava into every tiny crack and crevice it can find and it is within this inner kingdom where the minerals start to mix with other minerals and rose quartz starts to grow.

In a way, the term Rose Quartz Crystal is actually a misnomer because this healing gemstone rarely forms crystals with actual points. In most cases it will not grow above extremely tiny, almost too small to be seen points. Occasionally however, actual pieces with individually terminated points are found in the Minas Garis and Poco D'Anta mines in Brazil.

If you are extremely lucky, you might happen upon a rose quartz gemstone that actually glows in the dark from the phosphorus content of the stone.
