Description
This 3-inch double terminated rose quartz point is cut and polished from natural Brazilian rose quartz, shaped so that both ends taper into clean terminations. Dual points highlight the crystal’s internal glow, its soft pastel pink coloration, and the cloudy-to-translucent zones typical of high-quality rose quartz.
Light moves gently through the stone, revealing faint internal veils and subtle banding while the smooth facets add symmetry and sculptural charm.
Geological Background
Rose quartz forms in silica-rich pegmatites where trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese give the quartz its warm pink coloration. Unlike many quartz varieties, rose quartz typically develops in massive form rather than large, distinct crystals.
This structure requires lapidary shaping to create points—especially double terminated ones—since natural DT rose quartz is extremely rare. Brazilian deposits in Minas Gerais produce some of the world’s finest rose quartz, known for its even, rosy tone and gentle translucence.

History & Cultural Context
Rose quartz has been used since ancient times for beads, seals, carved figurines, and decorative tools. It appears in Mesopotamian artifacts, Roman jewelry, and classical Greek carvings. Its soft pink hue has long connected it to themes of beauty, harmony, and gentle presence.
Modern lapidary practitioners often craft rose quartz into polished points and double terminated forms to enhance symmetry and allow light to move through the stone from both ends.
Metaphysical Properties
Traditional symbolic interpretations link rose quartz with:
-
Compassion and softness, inspired by its pastel pink hue
-
Emotional gentleness, tied to its glowing, cloud-like translucence
-
Harmonious connection, symbolically associated with its long history of decorative use
-
Balanced flow, emphasized by the double terminated structure
Aesthetic & Collector Evaluation
At 3 inches, this double terminated point is large enough to show rose quartz’s distinctive glow yet compact enough for desk displays, shelves, gridding, or meditation spaces. The dual terminations add symmetry and versatility, allowing the piece to be positioned in multiple orientations.
Care & Handling
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may lighten rose quartz over long periods. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Store separately from harder minerals to protect the polish.
