Quartz

Locality: Ilha claim, Taquaral, Itinga, Jequitinhonha valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Good quality crystallized rose quartz is becoming quite difficult to find on today's market. The example shown here is of the best quality! Rose pink richly colored transparent lustrous crystals of quartz to over 1 cm in length are completely covering the top of a thin 6.5 x 4.7 x 4.3 cm matrix. Completely damage-free; the quality is extremely high! An absolutely beautiful piece. Ref: The Mineralogical Record: 4(5), 207-213 (1973)
