Pink quartz is a rare, translucent or transparent variety of quartz that exists in many of the same pink tones as its rose cousin, but the pink version forms crystals while rose quartz does not. Pink quartz is rare, so don't expect to see if in jewelry stores.
There is no specific treatment for norovirus. Fortunately, the disease is self-limited and simple supportive measures are sufficient to care for most people unless they become dehydrated. Outbreaks can occur almost anywhere in the world. In 2012, a new strain named GII.4 Sydney was identified.
But this year, in addition to the usual colds, there's also a strain of a virulent stomach bug, called norovirus, making people sick around the world and in the United States.
