The pink color is due to the trace amount of titanium in it. Because of its beautiful pink color, it is also called “love stone”.

The main chemical component is silicon dioxide. The content of silicon oxide is as high as 99.999%, the chemical formula is SiO2, and the natural crystal shape is hexagonal, which is called “Jingwang”. Clear quartz is also one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism, also known as “Mani Jewel”. Generally speaking, there are quite a lot of natural shapes of white crystals, including the most common blocks, hexagonal columns, and columnar clusters of white crystals.

Top 8 Amethyst Gua Sha Board.
Strictly speaking, Amethyst should be ranked higher. Because the beauty of amethyst is unparalleled, it is even more beautiful than the famous rose quartz. However, amethyst is very scarce, and the monomer crystal volume of amethyst is generally small, so there are very few amethysts that can be used to produce guasha boards, which results in the expensive price of amethyst gua sha boards, which are almost rose quartz gua sha boards. twice. In the end, Amethyst Gua Sha Bar can only be ranked seventh on the list.
