Rose Quartz Sphere

A polished rose quartz sphere in a delicate, even rose tone, traversed by fine, milky streaks.

Rose quartz belongs to the quartz family and crystallizes in pegmatite veins. The pink color is caused by tiny trace elements, presumably manganese and titanium, which form color centers in the crystal lattice.

Characteristic are the cloud-like, white-milky inclusions that give the sphere its warm, lively depth. They originate from microcrystalline dumortierite or rutile needles that were embedded during crystal growth.

A sphere is the most demanding cut shape: any asymmetry in coloring or inhomogeneity in the material becomes immediately visible. This sphere shows consistent coloring across the entire surface.

A piece with a calm presence, suitable as an anchor on a console table, a library pedestal, or in a living room.
