This substantial natural Rose Quartz rough gemstone weighs 175.176 carats (approximately 35.04 grams) and presents an attractive light pink colour with an unusually transparent appearance for Rose Quartz.

Measuring approximately 35.9 × 34.7 × 26.2 mm, the specimen offers considerable crystal volume and a well-developed three-dimensional form. Its generous proportions provide strong visual presence while preserving the natural surfaces and internal character of the rough material.

The gemstone displays a delicate light pink body colour combined with good transparency, allowing internal growth features, subtle structural variations and natural inclusions to remain visible within the material. This relatively clear appearance gives the specimen a refined and luminous character compared with more strongly cloudy or translucent Rose Quartz rough.

Rose Quartz is the pink variety of quartz (SiO₂) and is appreciated for its soft natural colour and distinctive internal structure. In rough form, the material retains its original geological character, including irregular surfaces, growth-related features, minor fissures and naturally occurring internal variations.

At 175.176 ct / 35.04 g, this specimen provides substantial material for a variety of possible applications. It may be preserved as a natural collector’s specimen or considered for lapidary work, carving, custom jewellery concepts, wire wrapping or decorative display.

For lapidary use, the combination of considerable volume and good transparency allows the internal structure and usable material to be assessed before shaping or cutting. Orientation should take account of any natural fissures, inclusions or structural features in order to preserve the strongest and most visually attractive portions of the rough.

There are no indications of heating and no indications of any other treatment. The gemstone is therefore presented with its naturally observed colour, transparency and internal characteristics.

As with all natural rough gemstones, fine inclusions, growth features, internal fissures, natural fracture planes and surface irregularities may be present. These characteristics form part of the geological identity of the specimen and contribute to its individual appearance.

Suitable For: Collecting / Lapidary Work / Carving / Wire Wrapping / Jewellery Design / Decorative Display

With its substantial 175.176 ct (35.04 g) weight, delicate light pink colour and notably clear appearance, this Rose Quartz is an attractive natural specimen for collectors, designers and lapidary artists seeking larger rough material with refined colour and strong visual presence.

Evaluation Notes

This natural Rose Quartz rough presents a good gemmological quality profile, combining a light pink body colour with notably good transparency and substantial crystal volume. The material shows visible internal growth features, fine inclusions and structural variations, while minor fissures and natural fracture planes reduce overall material uniformity and limit cutting efficiency. The relatively pale colour also provides less visual saturation than stronger pink Rose Quartz, but the specimen retains good natural character, useful volume and attractive transparency for collection, lapidary work or selective cutting.
