## Appearance

Rainbow Quartz has long, voluminous blonde hair with dark-pink streaks throughout. She is roughly the same height as the fusion gem Opal, and has a slightly similar build, only being heavier and shorter. Unlike Opal, Rainbow Quartz has two sets of eyes and only one pair of arms. The top pair of eyes are colored sky-blue, like Pearl's, while the bottom pair are black, like Rose Quartz's. She has Pearl's pointy nose but the nostrils are more similar to Rose's. She has two lilac colored gems located where Pearl's and Rose Quartz's gems are located; on her forehead and stomach respectively.

She wears a sleeveless full body leotard with the body colored white, and the leg region is colored purple. There is a stylized four pointed star, with the left and right arms of the star are bent upwards, cut out on her stomach area of the leotard. She also has a loose white diaphanous long sleeved shirt worn over her body. Her outfit comprises of no footwear but instead has long pink leg warmers that cover half of her lower legs and and half of her feet.

## Gemology

   Iris Quartz/Metal-coated crystal

* The term "rainbow quartz" can refer to two different types of gemstones:
	+ Iris quartz, sometimes also marketed under the name "rainbow Quartz" or "anandalite", is a quartz crystal displaying internal spectral colors under some of the crystal faces.
	+ Metal-coated quartz, which is artificial, has a metallic rainbow coloration on the surface, and is created by applying a microscopic layer of metal (typically titanium) to a heated quartz crystal via vapor deposition.
* Rainbow quartz are associated with hope and optimism.
* Quartz gemstones are very durable and hard.
* Rainbow quartz is not a traditional birthstone.
* Angel aura quartz is actually the technical name for Rainbow Quartz.
