Rose quartz is a pale pink to rose-red variety of quartz. Quartz is the second most plentiful mineral found in the Earth’s crust. Rose Quartz occurs only in massive formations, with no crystal faces, edges or points. It is often hazy or turbid; therefore it lacks good transparency. It also contains microscopic fibers, which can on occasion produce a cat’s eye or star effect within the stone. Rose quartz crystals are formed when the pressure within the earth pushes molten lava into cracks and crevices. Within these fissures minerals, usually titanium, iron, or manganese, begin to mix with other minerals, and it is during this process that rose quartz crystals begin to form. The first rose quartz crystals were found near Rumford, Maine, USA, but today most crystals come from Minas Gerais, Brazil.…

The advantages that allow Ecuador to produce great and abundant roses are mainly made up of the agricultural/climate condition, along with location and workforce. Since the town of Cayambe is located 10,000 feet up near the mountain the high-altitude makes for ideal growing conditions. \along with the combination of sun-light, fertile volcanic soil, equatorial location allows for the roses to be grown all year round. This allows for a great advantage over a lot of competition, because production can say consistent all year long keeping steady amount of export. \where on the other hand if production was slowed down by weather conditions for a few months this would negatively affect the exports. Another comparative advantage that is obtained is the fairly low monthly income that Ecuador has, this allows for companies to pay employees relatively low wages. Although some companies may pay employees well over the countries average income, in comparison to many more developed countries/., the dollar amount is significantly less.…
