Description

Exceptional miniature of rare crystallised rose quartz from this classic Brazilian locality. An aggregate of mostly transparent crystals, with delicate (tip) to strong (core) color. The aggregate shows minimal contact points and in my opinion this could well be called a floater. No matrix whatsoever, provided some minor traces of brown iron oxides. They were not removed, although they can be easily removed with a minimal treatment.

In great conditions, provided some minor dings and bruises. Dated back to the 70s, it comes from the Swiss collection we did recently acquire.

Please note that this is a difficult color to reproduce. It is overall a deep pink, which is matching quite well with most close up pictures. As this is is achieved with some postprocessing of the pictures (cutting off the dead channels), it might result almost liliac in some sectors (overview picture). In reality it is a strong pink.
