Item Description

From the well known Ilha Claim in Brazil comes this attractive grouping of Rose Quartz crystals. It is composed of a myriad of crystals all in nearly parallel growth on the front, back and sides which is remarkable in itself. The tightly grouped crystals range from medium pastel pink to nearly milky white in places and have a satiny to slightly glassy luster. The majority of these crystals are slender prismatic and doubly terminated...all over the piece! It's a lovely small cabinet specimen from Brazil! We believe this is from older finds of the 1980s, or perhaps much older. Remarkably for a cluster in this size, it is nearly (but not entirely) undamaged. It is natural, as found, without lab cleaning - and could improve with time in a lab and some fancy chemical cleaning. It is also beautiful just as it is. Complete on both sides, it is hard to pick a favorite side.
