Pink Himalayan Quartz

Unlike rose quartz, which forms mostly as massive, these rare varieties of Pink quartz form in a standard 6 sided crystal with pointed terminations.  They are generally found in clusters, with points ranging from small to very large.  

This particular specimen has a fabulous array of crystal points and appears to be coated in places with hematite.  

The specimen measures roughly 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" and weighs 5.14 oz. 

This quartz is extremely light and heat sensitive and may fade due to long exposure to sunlight or heat.
