The Rose Quartz specimens from the Pitorra Claim in Brazil are among the finest examples of crystallized Rose Quartz in the world. This piece is beautiful display specimen of this classic Brazilian material. Many, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, classic pink color, hexagonal crystals of Rose Quartz are oriented into a "flower"-shaped group forming a wonderful miniature display piece. Good quality all around. The piece rather showy, eye-catching and desirable in the mineral world.
