1. Rose quartz, a pink variety of quartz (SiO₂), gets its soft hue from trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese. Ranking 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, this durable yet delicate stone has been revered for centuries as the stone of unconditional love. Whether used in ancient Roman jewelry or modern-day healing practices, rose quartz is believed to nurture emotional healing and self-love. Its gentle energy and soft glow make it a timeless stone, connecting science with the tender side of human experience.
Each sample mineral/rock is hand-picked for its size, color, consistency, and how well it represents the planet. For this reason, each one is unique in its properties and will vary from sample to sample. We've lovingly ensured that each one is an excellent example of its geological classification and the planet it represents.
The two-sided cards contain visually complementing front information about the planet, planet, or other celestial object... including an "area of interest" that begs to look further into where this unique location on the planet/planetoid. If it's a gas-giant planet, we've selected a moon that is orbiting the planet and an exciting location on that moon!

This landing page is specific to the planetary kit you own!
