The rosy pink variety of Quartz is known as Rose Quartz, and its color is usually soft, ranging from very light pink to medium pink in intensity. Rose Quartz is often milky or hazy, and it may lack good transparency.
Onyx is black and white banded agate
(cryptocrystalline or chalcedony quartz). It should not to be confused with
onyx marble, which is limestone. The banding of onyx is parallel and
consistent. Some varieties of onyx differ in color, such as sard onyx, which
has a brown base and white upper layer, cornelian onyx, which has a red base
and white upper layer, and niccolo onyx, which has a very thin upper layer,
allowing the black base color to show through as grey or blue. Onyx takes its
name from the Greek word "onyx", which means fingernail; this could
be due to a Greek legend, in which Eros mischievously cut the fingernails of
Aphrodite with an arrowhead whilst she slept, and the gods turned the clippings
into stone.
Prehnite is a translucent to transparent gem-quality hydrated calcium aluminum silicate. It was the first mineral to be named after an individual, and it was also the first mineral to be described from South Africa, long before South Africa became one of the most important sources for precious and semi-precious gems. It was first described in 1788 after it was discovered in the Karoo dolerites of Cradock, South Africa. Prehnite was later named after its discoverer, Colonel Hendrik von Prehn a Dutch mineralogist and an early governor of the Cape of Good Hope colony.Until recently, prehite was a rare collector's gemstone, but new deposits have now made it more readily available. In China, prehnite is sometimes referred to as 'grape jade' owing to nodular formations which often resemble a bunch of grapes. Its color is usually a soft apple-green, which is quite unique to prehnite, but it can also occur in rarer colors including yellow, orange and blue.
