The price of Rose Quartz depends on its colour, clarity, transparency, size, cut, polish and overall quality. Well-finished stones with an attractive, even pink colour may be more desirable for jewellery. Beads and tumbled stones are commonly available at accessible prices, while finely cut pieces or distinctive specimens may cost more. Compare the stone's actual colour, finish, dimensions and quality when shopping, and ask the seller about any treatments or enhancements.

Clean Rose Quartz using lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft cloth or brush. Rinse gently and dry thoroughly before storing. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners and sudden temperature changes. Although quartz is relatively hard, it can still chip or fracture if dropped or struck against a hard surface. Store it separately from other jewellery to prevent scratches, and remove Rose Quartz jewellery before strenuous activities or household cleaning. For valuable or specially set pieces, consult a jeweller before using ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
