History of the October Birthstone
Rose quartz, one of October’s birthstones, has captivated hearts for millennia. Dating back to 7000 BC, this delicate pink stone was cherished by ancient civilizations. The Assyrians crafted rose quartz jewelry as early as 800-600 BC, while Tibetan and Oriental cultures honored it for its beauty and spiritual significance. In China, it remains a revered carving stone to this day. As a member of the quartz family, rose quartz is a silicon dioxide crystal often found in the cores of granite pegmatites. Its signature soft hue comes alive with microscopic fiber inclusions, which at times create a subtle, enchanting star-like effect, a natural phenomenon as magical as the stone itself.
