Physical properties
Mohs hardness of 7, vitreous luster, hexagonal crystal system, conchoidal fracture, specific gravity of 2.65.
Formation & geological history
Formed in hydrothermal veins and pegmatites through the precipitation of silica-rich fluids over millions of years.
Uses & applications
Used in mineral collecting, ornamental displays, and crystal healing.
Geological facts
The pink coloration is typically caused by microscopic inclusions of hematite, dumortierite, or irradiation effects.
Field identification & locations
Identified by its distinctive hexagonal crystal habit, pink hue, and lack of cleavage. Found worldwide in pegmatites and hydrothermal environments.
