What causes the pink color of rose quartz?

The pink color of rose quartz is a result of trace elements and natural processes. The most important factors influencing the color are:

• Titanium, iron, and manganese – microscopic traces of these elements in the crystalline structure of quartz contribute to the pink color.
• Fossils of silicon oxide and aluminum – present in the microstructures of the stone, influencing the hue.
• Dopant radiation – the Earth's natural radioactivity can alter the mineral's color and cause pink hues.

Recently, scientists have discovered that the pink hue appears due to dumortierite nanofibers, which are trapped in the quartz structure and affect light refraction, giving it its characteristic pink color.
