Description

Rose Quartz is a member of the Quartz family that exhibits a pale Pink to Rose Red hue.  The color is usually due to the trace amounts of Titanium, Iron or Manganese in the mass material.  Some Rose Quartz contains microscopic Rutile needles which produce an asterism in transmitted light.  An all-time favorite at the Rock Shop.  

Apatite is a part of the phosphate group of minerals that was formed in igneous rocks and in metamorphosed limestone. Apatite is translucent or transparent and usually green in color but can be colorless, white, yellow, bluish, reddish, brown or purple.
