Item Description
Some of the most celebrated crystallized piece of Rose Quartz in the world are those from the Itinga area in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This particular specimen dates back to 1973 and features a rich pink colored group of pyramidal Rose Quartz crystals measuring up to 7 mm, with no real matrix. The crystals are all sharp, well-formed and show good inner translucency when backlit. No major damage that I can find. This piece was personally acquired by Richard Kosnar at the Ilha Claim (which is a famous pegmatite located on a small island in the Jequitinhonha River), and he was actually the first US dealer to import minerals from this locality. The piece remained in Kosnar's personal collection until his death, and is now available for any of you Quartz enthusiasts or Brazilian mineral fans.
