Item Description

Rose Quartz is found in several world localities, but when it comes to fine crystallized specimens, most people think of the fine specimens from Brazil. Recently we picked up a small parcel from a new find (2021) from the Parun Pegmatite Field in Afghanistan. The specimen is somewhat similar to the Brazilian pieces, but the color is honestly a bit more saturated. This miniature sized specimen features beautiful rich pink color Rose Quartz crystals measuring up to 7 mm, free of matrix. You almost never see Rose Quartz specimens from Afghanistan, and this new and very limited find presents a great opportunity to pick up something unusual and beautiful for your collection.
