Item Description
A wonderful display specimen of this classic Brazilian material. Several sharp, lustrous, GEM to gemmy, classic pink color, hexagonal crystals of "Rose Quart" sit atop a rather thick, slightly smoky color, lustrous, partial prism of Quartz from the famous Sapucaia mine in Brazil. This mine is well known for its beautiful and rare phosphate species, along with some stunningly fine quality specimens of Rose Quartz. The best of the Rose Quartz specimens came out in the 1970s from Sapucaia, and remain as some of the finest in the world.
