Same gemstone, two very different stories.
Both of these beautiful spheres are Rose Quartz, but they have quite different characters.
The larger sphere comes from Brazil, with its rich pink colouring and wonderful depth of colour.
The smaller sphere comes from Madagascar. Its pink is softer, with lovely cloudy patterns and internal rainbows that reveal themselves when the light catches them at just the right angle.
It's fascinating how two pieces of the same gemstone can look so different, depending on their individual formation and internal characteristics.
And that's one of the things I love about natural gemstones. No two pieces are ever quite alike.
If you'd like to discover more about Rose Quartz, including the geology behind its beautiful pink colour, we've explored its story in our Earth's Hidden Treasures Journal…

Ooh, both beautiful!
Who would have thought that something so delicate could have its origins in ancient volcanic activity?
This fascinating specimen from India contains two very different minerals: Okenite and Calcite.
Millions of years ago, as volcanic lava cooled, gas bubbles left behind cavities in the rock. Over time, mineral-rich water found its way into these spaces, allowing different minerals to crystallise.
The white, fluffy-looking Okenite extends right through the translucent Calcite, emerging at both ends.
As minerals grow in these volcanic cavities, later stages of crystallisation can preserve earlier formations, leaving us with remarkable combinations like this one.
What I love about specimens like this is that we’re looking at more than just two minerals. We’re seeing clues to the geological processes that brought them together.

Behind the Counter 💚
I’ve been busy making bracelets from some lovely new gemstone beads that arrived recently.
These are Canadian Jade, made from two different strands, and just look at the colour of that darker green! 😍
I now choose natural, untreated gemstone beads wherever possible, so I have a little more control over the quality of the bracelets we make.
Of course, quality control doesn’t always extend to my ability to count. 😂
Somehow, I managed to add some extra beads to one bracelet, so we’ve ended up with a slightly larger one!
Never mind. Someone with a bigger wrist will be pleased! 😁 ... See MoreSee Less
