Rose Quartz Tumbled Stone Lapis Lazuli coloured by manganeseRose quartz small tumble polished stones of soft clouded pink, the stone given between people since before writing. Cool and smooth in the hand, sold in a small set. From Brazil. The pink comes from microscopic mineral fibres dispersed through the quartz which is why it reads translucent and cloudy rather than clear, and why strong sunlight can pale it. Not a dye; the colour is the stones own. Rose quartz beads are documented from Mesopotamia before
