This is the best Rose quartz I've ever seen in this size range. I acquired it from a european collection, and it was probably mined in the late 1970's. The color saturation is off-the-charts pink. It's a total floater (fully crystallized), and will fit into any "best-of" collection, for someone who wants a top rose quartz. It's bright, reflective and demonstrates a range of crystallization and an interesting shape (think Tiara). The largest crystal is 1.5 cm. No damage.
