Rose Quartz Bracelets
Although
rose quartz is usually too cloudy to be used as a facetted gemstone, a few exceptional pieces are found with enough clarity
and color to make fine gems. Most gemmy rose quartz is used as cabochons where the clarity is not as important as the color.
Rose quartz is also a very attractive ornamental stone and is carved into spheres, pyramids, obelisks, figurines and ornate
statues. Rose quartz is found in Madagascar, India,
Germany, and several localities in the USA. Much rose quartz was extracted from a famous site near Custer, South Dakota, but
now, most of the worlds supply of good quality rose quartz comes from Brazil.
