Physical properties
Hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, vibrant pink or magenta color due to artificial dye, vitreous luster, and hexagonal crystal system.
Formation & geological history
Formed hydrothermally in crustal cavities, later artificially cut into a cube shape and treated with dye.
Uses & applications
Used primarily for ornamental decoration, metaphysical purposes, and crystal collections.
Geological facts
Natural quartz does not form in vibrant magenta cubes; this coloration and shape are entirely human-made enhancements.
Field identification & locations
Easily identified by its unnatural cubic geometry and deep pink color penetrating fracture lines.
