Living up to its name, a rose pink wreath of rose quartz surrounds the sharp, lustrous terminations of numerous smoky quartz prisms in this fabulous specimen from the famous Sapucaia Mine in Brazil. The sheer depth of color along with the crystal size and form of the doubly-terminated rose quartz combines to make this piece one of the top examples of its kind in the world. Rose quartz specimens of this quality were found for a limited time beginning in the late 1950's and are highly coveted by collectors.
