Pink faceted gemstone, likely synthetic or treated quartz

Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂); exact identity cannot be confirmed from the image

AI-generated identification · may be incorrect

Hardness about 7 Mohs, pink body color, vitreous luster, trigonal crystal structure, and no visible cleavage; the round brilliant-style faceting indicates a cut specimen. Strong internal reflections and unusually vivid color may indicate synthetic quartz, glass, or treated material.

Physical properties

Formation & geological history

Natural pink quartz forms in hydrothermal veins and granitic pegmatites, generally during late-stage cooling of igneous systems; synthetic equivalents are laboratory-grown. Geological age depends on its source, commonly millions to billions of years.

Uses & applications

Used as an inexpensive jewelry stone, ornament, or teaching specimen; quartz is also important industrially in glass, electronics, and abrasives.

Geological facts

Faceting can make identification from photographs difficult, especially when color and brilliance resemble pink glass or synthetic corundum.

Field identification & locations

Check with a loupe for bubbles, inspect facet junctions, and test hardness or refractive index; quartz scratches ordinary glass, while glass commonly shows rounded bubbles. Common natural sources include Brazil, Madagascar, and the United States.
