Item Description

Vivid pink color highlights this sculptural and excellent rose quartz combination from this famous locale. The lustrous, translucent sharply terminated, parallel-growth crystals are aesthetically accented with clusters of gemmy, brown eosphorite blades (a rare phosphate species). This is a classic, very fine and uncommon in this quality combination from this exotic locale - a granite pegmatite located on a small island in the Jequitinhonha River. Seldom on the market today. Rose quartz is actually quite rare in nature, occurring in good specimens of display quality from a very few localities.
