Rose quartz is a pale pink to reddish-pink variety of the mineral quartz, colored by trace amounts of minerals like titanium, iron, or dumortierite. It often has a hazy appearance due to microscopic inclusions, but can also be transparent. Valued for its soft, romantic color, it is used in jewelry and decorative objects. It has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, the same as other quartz varieties.
Rose quartz beads dating back to 7000 BC have been found in the area once known as Mesopotamia (today’s Iraq). Rose quartz jewelry was known to be crafted by the Assyrians around 800-600 BC. The Assyrians, along with the Romans, might have been the first to use this stone. In the Middle Ages, medical practitioners used quartz in their healing potions. Early cultures of the Americas used quartz amulets.

Gemrock Crystal products are ethical crystals
Ethical Crystal refers to stones that are sourced in a way that respects workers, communities, and the environment.
Here is what we do to guarantee that our crystals are ethical:
No illegal mining (therefore no child labor and no mining in protected or ecologically sensitive habitats): We are not buying from illegal mines. Legality of the raw material is guaranteed by payments via bank transfer, after receiving an official invoice from the provider. Illegal miners would insist on cash payments only. By buying from legal mining operations only, we guarantee that no child labor is involved, as legal mining operations are supervised by the government and have to follow anti-child labor laws. Mining in protected areas or ecologically sensitive habitats is not allowed in Peru. By making sure we buy from legal mines, we therefore protect the environment.
No shadow-business mining: While mining concessions might be legal, they still can be shadow-business, not respecting workers’ rights, nor paying labor benefits, ignoring safety, and avoiding paying taxes. By not engaging in cash payments for our rough rock, we eliminate the opportunity for shadow business to occur. We do pay taxes whenever we buy rough rock and therefore do benefit Peruvian society in general by securing that the government has the funds for the services it provides.
No artisan shadow-business gemstone cutting: Crystal providers often promote their products as being sourced from local artisans, indicating that this would benefit local communities. Sadly, the contrary is true: In Peru, 100% of artisan lapidary workshops are shadow businesses. They get paid unreasonably low prices in cash. Artisan lapidary cutters do not work with legal labor contracts, have no health insurance, no retirement funds, no vacations, no maximum weekly labor hours, or any other labor benefits. Therefore, our Angelite gemstones are exclusively produced in-house. We are hiring our gem cutters under legal labor contracts, paying all legally required labor benefits, complying with safety laws, and providing our workers with quality gemstone cutting training and career options. We pay fair salaries that are higher than minimum salaries and get scaled upwards according to the level of training a cutter reaches. Our cutters get paid bonuses to meet quality targets and participate in the profits of the company.
We protect the environment: In Gemrock, we reduced water use in the lapidary process in over 90% by implementing water recycling measures. We recycle our garbage wherever possible. We have calculated the remaining carbon footprint of the products and engage in tree planting projects to neutralize our carbon footprint
