Rose Quartz

Item Description

Rose Quartz is the pink variety of Quartz whose color is said to be caused by a variation of Dumortierite. The material is beloved for its unique pink color which ranges from a soft pink to a rather rich vivid pink from some localities. Rose Quartz stones are often used in cabochons as the material is rarely clean enough for faceted gems, because the majority of it is "milky" or "cloudy". This particular stone has pretty good clarity for a Rose Quartz cabochon. It is a lovely, slightly "milky", light pink color gem with a "Round Cabochon" cut. A great gem for any collector.
