Runes are an Alphabet used by Ancient Scandinavian tribes about 2000 years ago. Runes are not only letters, but also magical symbols. Runes were used for divination, to attract good fortune and to provide protection from various evil forces and events. Love, good luck, protection against evil etc. are as important today as they were centuries ago. Runes engraved on the gemstone makes it a very powerful talisman.
Rose Quartz is, of course, a type of Quartz. There's actually two varieties:
1) Is found in translucent masses made of inter-grown anhedral crystals (having no plane faces). It occurs in different hues of pink, sometimes bluish, sometimes more reddish; irradiation may cause the formation of smoky quartz color centers and add a gray tone.
2) Occurs in well-formed crystals of similar color. Because of the substantial differences in the physical properties and causes of color it has been suggested to give the variety of pink-colored quartz that forms crystals the name "pink quartz"(Hori, 2001) or "Rosaquarz" (German for pink quartz, Rykart, 1995).

Rose Quartz is light sensitive and will fade in sunlight's UV rays.
