MATERIAL OVERVIEW

The Material

Rose Quartz is a pink variety of quartz ranging from pale peach-pink to deeper rose tones. It is commonly translucent to nearly opaque and may contain cloudy areas, colour zoning, natural fractures, and internal inclusions.

Polishing produces a soft bright surface and reveals subtle depth through the pink body colour. Natural fractures, cloudiness, and internal features remain part of the individual character of each finished piece.
