Rose Quartz

Item Description

Rose Quartz is the pink variety of Quartz. Some research has indicated that the color in Rose Quartz is caused by micro inclusion of minerals such as Domortierite. The material is beloved for its unique pink color which ranges from a soft pink to a rather rich vivid pink from some localities. Rose Quartz stones are often used in cabochons as the material is rarely clean enough for faceted gems, because the majority of it is "milky" or "cloudy". This particular stone is a good sized a gem and has good clarity for a Rose Quartz. It is a nice, slightly "milky", light pink color gem with an "Oval Cabochon" cut. A great colorful gem for any collector.
