Deep pink Rose Quartz! I was very fortunate to find this quality material to work with! This is a pretty large pendant at 7cm tall. Tumbled and wrapped in silver by Love in Stone.
Rose quartz is a type of quartz which exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue. The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the material. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light. Recent X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the color is due to thin microscopic fibers of possibly dumortierite within the quartz.
