About this piece
Raw rose quartz. The seller says it comes from a mine in Madagascar, and that most pieces average about 1 to 1.25 inches (20 to 40 g), usually 12 to 18 pieces in a pound.
The stone is rough, with uneven faces and some paler, cloudier areas, as in the photos. The seller says it can be used for tumbling, polishing, wire wrapping and crafts, or kept as it is. The seller also says the photos show the stones wetted to show the colour.
