# Rose quartz

Pale pink stone with smooth faces that look almost translucent.

## What the simulation uses

- Holds water: 1 % by volume (Water it keeps after draining; the rest runs down to the drainage.)

- Pore space: 3 % by volume (Room for air and water between grains; low means roots suffocate when wet.)

- Weight: 2550 g/L (How heavy a litre is.)

- pH: 7 to 7.5 pH (How acid it keeps the soil.)

## Description
Pale pink stone with smooth faces that look almost translucent. It holds no water and does nothing to pH, so place it wherever you like.

Also called quartz.

Estimated, where sources were thin: look authored for the app; physical values estimated.
