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 rose color comes from hematite and not from titanium as true rose quartz does. The crystal is totally unusual too … beyond the color, which is a sweet, delicate and yet lush, shell pink. It is strangely configured and exceedingly intricate, with no real faces although this one has been broken off, but it has totally healed into a large “face”, complete with trigonic record keepers! The rest of the crystal shows a divide at the healed base … likely a student that is ridged, etched and pocked from dissolution effects by the Earth’s washing with mineral acids that the total crystal exhibits. The crystal weighs 6.2 oz and measures 3.4” by 2.7” by 1.3”.
