Rose Quartz (ex Rolando Gioia Collection)

Item Description

A famous Rose Quartz from the Pitorra Claim in Brazil. The best of these pieces are among the finest examples of crystallized Rose Quartz ever found. This miniature specimen shows beautiful glowing pink color, especially for the size. There are plenty of very sharp, nearly GEM quality, hexagonal prismatic crystals of Rose Quartz free of matrix. This one was hard to photograph, but it looks beautiful in person, and you just don't see too many Rose Quartz specimens of this quality on the market these days. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
