5.9 x 4.7 x 3.2 cm. Rose quartz is the rarest and most sought-after variety. This is a crystal of colorless quartz that is surrounded by crystals of beautiful pastel-pink rose quartz! The resulting form is therefore very unusual and aesthetic, as you can see, and it is accentuated by the fact by the contrasting white matrix of massive quartz and albite.
