Great rose quartz sphere from Brazil

A polished rose quartz sphere from Brazil, in a delicate rosé shade with white-milky streaks that give the sphere depth and movement.

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

The cloud-like whitish inclusions come from microcrystalline dumortierite or rutile needles that were embedded during crystal growth. They make each rose quartz sphere visually unique.

Brazilian rose quartz from Minas Gerais is considered the reference quality for uniform coloring and good polishability.

A piece with a warm, lively character, suitable as a home accent or gift item.
