I spent several hours pouring through a recently found pocket of over 10,000 rose quartz specimens fresh from the mine in Brazil. This was one of the best from the pocket. It has a distinct pink color, with a bright sheen and significant transparency. It has no damage at all not even on the back or base. I can mount this on an acrylic base for anyone who buys it (just ask). It weighs 12.5 grams.
