Great A-grade rose quartz from Brazil

An A-grade rose quartz solitaire from Brazil, with a gentle, pure pink color and a natural, untreated surface.

Rose quartz (SiO₂) belongs to the quartz group and crystallizes trigonally. The pink color is caused by microscopic inclusions, probably needle-like dumortierite microcrystals, that run through the material.

Brazil is the most important rose quartz provenance worldwide. A-grade pieces show uniform saturation throughout the entire volume and are free of brown iron oxide inclusions or white turbidity.

Traditionally, rose quartz is assigned to the heart chakra and is considered in astrology to be a stone for Taurus and Cancer.
