How is Rose Quartz Form?
Rose quartz is an igneous mineral that originates deep within the earth’s crust and is forms from the solidification of granitic magma. Within the earth, huge masses of magma slowly migrate upward toward the surface of the earth. Magna is driven upward because magma is less dense than surrounding solid rock. In time, the magma s cool off and solidify. Magma generally solidify miles beneath the earth’s surface except for volcanoes and volcanic rocks which are formed by magma that erupts, producing lava flows. Near the end of its upward migration, the magma temperature has been lowered. Some of the magma has crystallized into solid minerals. The fluid magma remaining near the fringe tends to be rich in volatiles, water, silica, oxygen, and some other elements. This magma may squirt and intrude into the surrounding and overlying rocks, fingering outward from the main mass of the magma along zones of weakness or fractures. As the molten rock in these intrusions continues to slowly cool, ro
