Item Description
A choice and aesthetic, doubly terminated cluster of gemmy, lustrous, rich pink crystals from a very obscure Pakistan pegmatite field. Complete all-around, with just a bit of barely noticeable periphery wear. Rose quartz is a common mineral, but crystals such as these are rarely found, with perhaps only 3 or 4 locations worldwide. From a small 2002 find, with none since. Rare and excellent rose quartz, comparable to Brazilian pieces. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. valued $500
