Overview
A substantial specimen of rose quartz, polished into a smooth, freeform shape that highlights its natural internal 'veils' and soft pink hue.
Story
Millions of years ago, deep within the Earth's crust, cooling magma rich in silica and trace amounts of titanium or manganese formed these delicate pink masses.
Maker / Origin
While the primary artist is the Earth itself, this piece was shaped and polished in a lapidary workshop, likely in a region like Minas Gerais, Brazil, which is world-renowned for its quartz deposits.
Condition & Value
The surface appears well-polished with a high gloss. There are some visible surface-reaching fractures and a small notch on the right-hand side, which are common in natural stone specimens but should be handled with care to avoid further chipping. The minor edge wear reduces the value slightly compared to a pristine gallery piece.
