Rose Quartz (ex Rolando Gioia Collection)

Item Description

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, VERY gemmy, classic pink color, hexagonal crystals of Rose Quartz sitting on a bit of banded pink "Rose Chalcedony" forming a wonderful miniature display piece. There is even a bit of scepter habit growth on some of the crystals. As I mentioned, most of the Rose Quartz crystals are incredibly gemmy, virtually WATER CLEAR in areas. Good quality all around, very minor damage on the display side. The piece rather showy, eye-catching and desirable in the mineral world. Valued at $800. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
