Mineralogy & Crystallography Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is primarily found in Brazil, Madagascar, and South Dakota (USA). It usually forms in the cores of granite pegmatites and has a hazy to translucent appearance. Its colour ranges from a light pale pink to a deep hot pink (which can have reddish hues) and is due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, and manganese. The colour is very stable and will not fade with heat or direct sunlight.
Mineralogy & Crystallography Howlite
Howlite, also known as Magnesite, is a calcium borosilicate hydroxide mineral that crystallises in the form of masses, nodules and occasional small prismatic crystals. It's commonly found with a colour scheme consisting of chalky white with black veins running throughout. Howlite was first discovered in 1868 near the town of Windsor, Nova Scotia. Henry How (famed Canadian chemist and geologist) was alerted of an odd mineral that had occurred in a gypsum mine close to his office at nearby King’s College. He investigated this unusual crystal and determined it to be a completely new mineral. He originally named it “silicoborocalcite”, a reference to it’s believed chemical structure at the time. After his death, it was later renamed in his honor by James Dwight Dana (famed American geologist and volcanologist) to “Howlite”.
