An oriental legend tells that two young lovers but of different social caste used to meet in secret and every time the young lover brought a white rose to his beloved.
The story between the two lovers ended tragically when her father discovered this relationship and killed them both. The rose they held in their hands turned to stone and that's how rose quartz was born.
