Rose quartz owes its delicate pink color to microscopic fibers of a pink borosilicate mineral and trace amounts of titanium or manganese. Unlike most colored quartzes, rose quartz is typically translucent rather than transparent, and rarely forms distinct crystals. Massive rose quartz deposits are found in Brazil and Madagascar.
