{"product_id":"rose-quartz-dts","title":"Rose quartz double-terminated point","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a polished rose quartz double-terminated point, showcasing soft blush-pink tones with gentle variations into milky, translucent hues. The elongated form is cleanly shaped with symmetrical tapering ends, giving the piece a balanced and refined appearance.

Its soft pink coloration is typically caused by trace elements such as titanium, iron, or manganese, and in some cases by microscopic inclusions of dumortierite within the crystal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece has been carved and polished from massive quartz, meaning it formed as a solid, intergrown mineral mass rather than as naturally defined crystal points. The translucency seen throughout is characteristic of rose quartz and results from internal structural features that diffuse light, creating a soft, glowing effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe double-terminated form has been carefully shaped by lapidary techniques, producing two symmetrical points at either end. Flat polished facets run along the length of the piece, enhancing its clean geometry while still allowing natural inclusions, faint fractures, and tonal variations to remain visible—contributing to its individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMineral: Quartz\u003cbr\u003eFormula: SiO₂\u003cbr\u003eColour: Soft pink → rosy red\u003cbr\u003eCause of Colour: Trace titanium, iron, or manganese\u003cbr\u003eLustre: Vitreous (glassy)\u003cbr\u003eTransparency: Translucent → rarely transparent\u003cbr\u003eStreak: White\u003cbr\u003eHardness: 7 (Mohs)\u003cbr\u003eFracture: Conchoidal\u003cbr\u003eCleavage: None\u003cbr\u003eDensity: ~2.65\u003cbr\u003eCrystal System: Trigonal\u003cbr\u003eHabit: Massive (rarely forms crystals)\u003cbr\u003eFormation: Igneous rocks (pegmatites)\u003cbr\u003eCommon Locations: Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa\u003cbr\u003eOptical:\u003cbr\u003eRefractive Index: ~1.54–1.55\u003cbr\u003eMay show asterism (star effect in rare pieces)\u003cbr\u003eExtras:\u003cbr\u003eColour can fade in strong sunlight\u003cbr\u003eOften cloudy due to microscopic inclusions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eSmooth, polished surfaces with well-defined edges and points\u003cbr\u003eNatural inclusions, internal fractures, and colour variation throughout\u003cbr\u003eMinor surface irregularities consistent with shaping and polishing\u003cbr\u003eNo visible dyeing or artificial enhancement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCare Instructions\u003cbr\u003eHandle with care to avoid chips, especially at the pointed ends\u003cbr\u003eClean gently with a soft cloth or mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly\u003cbr\u003eAvoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to help preserve colour\u003cbr\u003eStore separately from harder stones to prevent scratching\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Ballerz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53661914366293,"sku":null,"price":2.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1039\/9295\/1125\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_c7eb6756-0308-4c7e-a88c-c81431aa674a.jpg?v=1776360332","url":"https:\/\/crystalballerz.co.uk\/products\/rose-quartz-dts","provider":"Crystal Ballerz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
