I have heard that if you put a rose quartz stone under your pillow while you sleep it helps with heeling and sometimes can even give you hints on who your soul mate is. does anyone know is any of this is true???
Most quartz is not considered a gemstone because it lacks qualities important in jewelry, such as color intensity and clarity. The bulk of quartz on earth is contained in milky white veins, massive granite, quartzite formations, and sands. And not all colored quartz like agate, amethyst, or jasper is gem-quality. Even these come in different grades, determined by color intensity, internal patterns, clarity and ability to take a polish.
Gemstones are considered gemstones due to several factors, one being rarity. While quartz is one of the most common minerals on Earth, amethyst is much more rare due to its light purple color. More rarity equals more value, hence the semi-precious gemstone categorization. Hope this helps.
