Item Description
From Luiz Menezes in Tucson 2011, this piece features somewhat "stubby" pale pink Rose Quartz crystals along with slightly golden almost "Citrine"-esque crystals which are overgrowing a central, gemmy Quartz crystal with a slight smoky overtone. One can see three distinct generations of Quartz on the piece, certainly not common even for a species as common as Quartz. Were it not for Luiz's label, it would be hard to know where this one came from.
