Polished Rose Quartz Mushroom Carving

Rose quartz is a pink variety of quartz, often light pink to deeply saturated. This course (large crystals) igneous rock is found in hydrothermal veins and as pegmatite bodies, forming from the final stages of cooling magma flows. The soft and serene pink colour is due to inclusions of a microscopic fibrous borosilicate mineral, called dididumortierite, related to dumortierite, as well as titanium and iron.   This rose quartz mushroom carving has been cut and polished to stand upright.   212 grams / 7.48 ounces 1.87” diameter x 3.06” height 47.6mm diameter x 77.8mm height Origin: Madagascar
