Rose Quartz Carved Leaf – 2 Inches

Description

This 2-inch carved leaf is crafted from genuine rose quartz, a pink variety of crystalline quartz (SiO₂) belonging to the silicate mineral class. Its characteristic hue comes from trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese within the crystal lattice.

Rose quartz typically forms in pegmatitic environments, where slow-cooling silica-rich magma allows for large, translucent crystals. Major deposits occur in Brazil, Madagascar, and the United States, with each region producing slightly different shades of pink — from pale blush to deep rose.

Scientific Classification

Formation and Geological Significance

Rose quartz develops in hydrothermal veins and granitic pegmatites, often coexisting with feldspar, mica, and tourmaline. The delicate pink coloration forms when trace metallic oxides alter the crystal structure, creating a subtle scattering effect that softens its internal glow.

The fine polish and translucency of this leaf carving showcase rose quartz’s natural luster — a hallmark of well-crystallized material. Its toughness and compact grain allow precise hand shaping and smooth finishing without fracture, making it ideal for intricate carvings like this leaf.
