What are the powers of a Rose quartz?

Answer 1

Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's continental crust after Feldspar. It is made up of a framework of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra SiO4, with each silicon shared between two oxygens to give the overall formula SiO2. Quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale and a density of 2.65 g/cm³. Quartz belongs to the rhombohedral crystal system. The ideal crystal shape is a six-sided prism terminating with six-sided pyramids at each end. In nature quartz crystals are often twinned, distorted, or so intergrown with adjacent crystals of quartz or other minerals as to only show part of this shape, or to lack obvious crystal faces altogether and appear massive. Well-formed crystals typically form in a 'bed' that has unconstrained growth into a void, but because the crystals must be attached at the other end to a matrix, only one termination pyramid is present. A quartz geode is such a situation where the void is approximately spherical in shape, lined with a bed of crystals pointing inward. Quartz crystals have piezoelectric properties, that is they develop an electric potential upon the application of mechanical stress. An early use of this property of quartz crystals was in phonograph pickups. One of the most common piezoelectric uses of quartz today is as a crystal oscillator. The quartz clock is a familiar device using the mineral. The resonant frequency of a quartz crystal oscillator is changed by mechanically loading it, and this principle is used for very accurate measurements of very small mass changes in the quartz crystal microbalance and in thin-film thickness monitors. No scientific evidence has been presented that quartz has any other "powers" to speak of. Rose quartzes are good for absorbing negativity in a room or on a specific person, and for repairing the heart chakra.
