Physical properties
Mohs hardness 7, pale pink to peach coloration, vitreous luster, hexagonal crystal system, conchoidal fracture with no true cleavage, specific gravity 2.65.
Formation & geological history
Formed through hydrothermal solutions in pegmatites or igneous and metamorphic rock cavities over millions of years.
Uses & applications
Used in ornamental carvings, gemstone jewelry, crystal healing, and metaphysical collections.
Geological facts
The pink coloration is typically caused by microscopic trace amounts of titanium, iron, or aluminum embedded within the quartz matrix.
Field identification & locations
Identified by its distinct pink hue, crystal cluster formation, and lack of cleavage. Common worldwide and plausible in South American geological regions.
