Group of Quartz crystals (variety rose quartz) with deep and uniform tones, in two distinct habits, one forming aerial spherical aggregates with sharp crystal terminations, and one more massive with stalactitic and columnar shapes, all on a rock matrix. The pink color in this type of specimen is not due to inclusions of iron oxides but is the natural color of the quartz. The exact location of the find is not yet known.
