These stunning and amazing quartz are part of a find from high in the Kullu Pass in Northern India, gateway to the Himalayans and home to many temples. The delicate rose to shell-pink color comes from hematite and not from titanium as true rose quartz does. To one side, there is a long, sweeting area like a playground slide that is an ancient key and the termination is flattened and layers into the opposite side. There are no real faces, but yet the sides are rather elestial-looking but are truly textured from dissolution effects by the Earth’s washing with mineral acids. You will see a bit of maroon hematite in a few of the crevices. The crystal weighs 3.5 oz and measures 3.1” by 1.9” by 1.1”.
