Question:

As far as i remember they designed automatic watches not their digital version!

Answer:

Quartz is one of the most common minerals on earth and is well known in the gem world. It is attractive and durable, as well as inexpensive. It can be cut and carved in many forms and sizes. Quartz is named after a Slavic word for hard. The unique soft pink color of rose quartz is thought to derive from tiny traces of titanium impurities. Rose quartz crystals tend to be cloudy which deepens the color; transparent crystals are extremely rare. The translucent milky quality of rose quartz make it ideal for cutting cabochons or carving in inventive ways. It is said that the healing powers of Rose Quartz include the following: heart ailments, sciatica, testicles and toenails.
