With the increasing pursuit of natural aesthetics and a healthy lifestyle, the demand for crystals and stones imbued with special meaning has grown significantly. Among these, rose quartz, with its captivating color and profound spiritual essence, has quickly become a standout among natural stones. It not only excels in various decorative products but also holds a significant place in beauty and skincare products, such as those used in gua sha and facial rollers. But, How does rose quartz made of?
Rose quartz, beloved for its soft pink hue, is not as dazzling as amethyst, nor as pure and flawless as clear quartz. However, it is precisely its delicate pink that evokes the sweet and pleasant feeling of love, thus rose quartz has long been considered a “stone of love and healing.”

How Does Rose Quartz Made? Deyi Rose Quartz Product Line
Deyi’s development has mainly gone through three stages. The first stage was centered on carved products and expanded from there. The second stage focused on beauty and health products. The third stage, which is the current stage, is a gradual transformation towards electronic and intelligent health products. After decades of development, Deyi’s rose quartz product line now includes four major categories of products：
A. Skincare Product
With rising living standards, especially in populous countries like China and India where poverty alleviation efforts have led to a significant increase in disposable income, global demand for beauty products has surged. Furthermore, the demand for non-invasive, natural beauty treatments continues to rise. Gua sha (scraping therapy) and jade facial rollers have become highly sought-after representatives of natural beauty practices. These two products are also among our core businesses:
- Rose Quartz Gua Sha: This ancient Chinese traditional medical treatment has seen rapid growth in recent years, becoming one of the most watched new stars in the natural beauty industry, fueled by the pursuit of natural beauty and the promotion of social media. Making a high-quality rose quartz gua sha tool is not simple. It needs to meet ergonomic design requirements for optimal grip and conform to the curves of the human body for proper gua sha. Furthermore, the surface treatment of the gua sha tool cannot be neglected.
- Crystal/Jade Facial Roller: Compared to gua sha, facial rollers are much newer, reportedly originating in the Qing Dynasty. Their popularity stemmed from a Chinese TV series set in the Qing Dynasty, which then spread widely through the internet and social media. Facial rollers are primarily used in the morning to awaken the skin and promote the absorption of skincare products. The difficulty in making facial rollers lies in ensuring smooth rolling while maintaining the stability of the roller balls, requiring a certain level of precision.
B. Health Product
- Head Massage Comb: A comb-shaped massage tool for head massage. Massaging specific acupoints on the head helps improve sleep, relieve mood, and alleviate headaches and throbbing pain.
- Finger Massager: A tweezer-shaped finger massager with rollers made of natural stones at both ends. The rolling massage and applying pressure relieves finger fatigue. Designed for office workers and gamers.
- Electric Abdominal Massager: Features a rotating head with six semi-circular slices of natural crystal, providing heating and vibration effects. Massaging and applying heat to the abdomen helps expel cold from the body, primarily targeting women, especially those prone to feeling cold.。
PS：The aforementioned functions are based on the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine and lack sufficient modern scientific research and clinical data. Therefore, they cannot be used as medical products or as primary medical treatment methods.
C. Crystal/Jade Carving Products
- Home Decor Items: Such as rose quartz lamps, animal sculptures, and crystal paintings. Used to beautify the home environment, provide natural “energy,” and improve the living experience.
- Crystal Household Tools: Such as crystal refrigerator magnets and rose quartz bottle openers. Used to improve quality of life and bring greater convenience.
- Crystal/Jade Carved Collectibles: Handcrafted or semi-handcrafted carved collectibles. Made with high-quality crystal or jade materials and exquisite carving techniques, these are masterpieces of art. These products have extremely high collectible value, but are also very expensive. Currently, these products are gradually being phased out of our product line.
D. Crystal/Jade Jewelry Products
Our product range includes bracelets, pendants, earrings, and other jewelry. We offer hundreds of different styles. Jewelry making demands a higher level of skill in polishing crystals and gemstones. Furthermore, different cutting techniques are required for different jewelry styles. Deyi Company consistently emphasizes gemstone cutting and setting techniques, and our products are highly regarded in the market for their exceptional quality.。
How Does Rose Quartz Made of Product at Deyi Gems?
Deyi’s pursuit of quality stems not only from a responsibility to consumers but also from a high standard of self-discipline and a deep respect for raw materials. It is this responsibility and this commitment that drives us to consistently provide rose quartz products that far exceed industry standards, refusing to compromise on quality or price. It is this belief that drives us to continuously refine our crystal/jade processing techniques.
While our product lines are diverse, each requiring different processing techniques, the core crystal/jade processing methods are largely similar. At Deyi, the transformation from a simple, unadorned piece of rose quartz into a dazzling product serving the world involves the following steps:
1. Selection and Preparation of Rose Quartz Raw Materials
Exquisite processing techniques can maximize the material’s characteristics, but selecting the right rose quartz rough is the first step in determining quality. Experienced professionals will select the most suitable rose quartz rough based on the requirements of the product being processed. For example, for products like gua sha rollers, the overall integrity is more important, meaning the fewer internal cracks the better; color is a secondary criterion. For jewelry, however, the transparency and color saturation of the rose quartz are the most crucial factors.
After selecting the rose quartz rough, a professional craftsman will create a preliminary design. They will use a pencil to draw the basic cutting directions of the rough and avoid any cracks or impurities. This is not only to save costs but also to maximize the value of the rough and, more importantly, to show respect for natural resources.。
2. Preliminary Processing of Rose Quartz Rough
Once the basic cutting direction of the raw rose quartz is determined, we use professional cutting machines to cut the raw stone into suitable, easily processed slab shapes. The required slab thickness varies depending on the rose quartz product:
- For gua sha tools and facial massage rollers, the raw rose quartz is typically cut into slabs 2-3 cm thick.
- For carved products, thicker slabs are needed, usually over 10 cm wide. Some large rose quartz carvings are even carved directly from the raw stone without cutting.
- For rose quartz jewelry, where individual pieces are often small, a thickness of 1-2 cm is usually sufficient.
- For health and wellness products, the rose quartz portions required in our current product line are also relatively small, and slabs 1-2 cm thick are sufficient.。
3. Rough Processing of Rose Quartz Products
After the product is cut to the appropriate thickness by a cutting machine, a professional craftsman will use a pencil to sketch the basic outline on the sheet material before further cutting and shaping:
- For jade rollers and gua sha (scraping therapy) products, we use a smaller cutting machine to cut out the basic shape according to the pre-drawn lines, and then use a grinding wheel to polish the edges to form the final product shape.
- For carved products, more complex processing techniques are required. We need to use a very small grinding wheel to polish the outline, and for fine lines, we use a tool similar to a steel needle to trace. Finally, the basic shape of the product is carved out. Especially for details such as animal fur, more precise control is required. Master carvers will even carefully design according to the color trend of the raw stone, a technique called “color matching”.
- For jewelry products: Except for a few complex cutting patterns, common egg shapes, spheres, etc., are usually processed using fully automated machines. For jewelry, the material is often the most important factor, and the processing techniques are just the icing on the cake.。
4. Polishing of Rose Quartz Products
Products that have undergone carving and polishing cannot be sold directly because the surface contains numerous tiny pores, making the product appear dull and lifeless, like a moon obscured by clouds. If carving and polishing give rose quartz products their shell, then polishing gives them their soul. However, different products often require different polishing techniques. We typically use two different methods for polishing.
One method is fully automated polishing using a tool called a “vibrating barrel.” This method uses high-frequency vibrations to create friction between the walnut wood, diamond powder, and talcum powder in the barrel and the product surface, thus polishing it. This is suitable for products with a high degree of uniformity, such as rose quartz scraping tools, rollers, spheres, rings, and some carved items.
The second method is manual polishing. Different grit wheels are used for polishing from coarse to fine. This technique is suitable for large carved products or products with intricate decorations, such as carved animal hair, carved leaves, or branches. Placing these products in a vibrating barrel would cause damage due to collisions between the products. Besides the product’s shape, different materials have different hardness levels, so the polishing strategies and methods must be adjusted accordingly.。
5. Assembly and Quality Inspection
Besides gua sha tools and carving products, most of our products require assembly. For example, assembling the rose quartz rollers and handles with the metal frame. Among all our products, the most complex is the intelligent abdominal massager, which not only requires assembling the rose quartz semi-circular slices but also involves numerous components such as the motor, battery, motherboard, and casing.
After assembly, we conduct a unified quality inspection. We test the product’s appearance, color, and smoothness of operation. Only finished products that pass all inspections are released to the market, ensuring that every finished product meets Deyi’s quality requirements that exceed industry standards.
Looking to the Future
The current market for rose quartz gua sha (scraping therapy) rollers and similar products has reached a critical point. This saturation stems not only from market saturation and intensified competition but also from limitations in the product’s functionality. Faced with increasingly complex market demands, existing gua sha rollers and similar products are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of consumers. Therefore, we have begun developing more intelligent and feature-rich products. Currently, we are on the path of industrial upgrading and transformation. However, we will always adhere to the principle of quality first and continue to explore the infinite possibilities of natural gifts such as crystal and jade.
The exquisite craftsmanship of rose quartz is a perfect embodiment of the spirit of craftsmanship and a unique expression of our company’s passion for stone.
