{"product_id":"rose-quartz-feather","title":"Rose quartz feather","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a carved rose quartz piece shaped into a delicate feather form, displaying soft blush-pink tones that gently transition into lighter, almost creamy hues. The surface features finely carved feather-like detailing, with etched barbs and a central shaft that give the piece a naturalistic and flowing appearance. Subtle inclusions and tonal variations enhance the depth and organic character of the carving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Natural rose quartz (quartz variety)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormation: Solid quartz carving\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Soft pink with pale, milky and slightly peach-toned variations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal Habit: Massive quartz with no visible crystal points, typical of rose quartz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Polished with detailed carved feather texturing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShape: Feather carving (lapidary-shaped)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox.

Its gentle pink coloration is typically attributed to trace elements such as titanium, iron, or manganese, and in some cases microscopic inclusions of dumortierite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is carved from massive quartz, meaning it formed as a solid, intergrown mineral rather than as distinct crystal points. The soft translucency visible throughout is characteristic of rose quartz and results from internal structural features that scatter light, producing a subtle, glowing effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe feather design showcases careful lapidary work, with a defined central shaft and finely incised barbs that mimic the natural structure of a feather. Variations in colour—from pale cream to warm blush pink—along with natural inclusions and faint internal veils, contribute to the individuality and organic aesthetic of the piece.\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\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmooth polished surfaces with detailed carved feather texturing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural inclusions, internal fractures, and colour variation throughout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinor surface irregularities consistent with hand-carved stone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo visible dyeing or artificial enhancement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle with care to avoid chips or scratches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean gently with a soft cloth or mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to help preserve colour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore separately from harder stones to prevent surface damage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Ballerz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53661913743701,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1039\/9295\/1125\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_cdef9815-ac83-40d1-bc24-d4c912e299c6.jpg?v=1776359183","url":"https:\/\/crystalballerz.co.uk\/products\/rose-quartz-feather","provider":"Crystal Ballerz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
