Wicked, 24.7" Polished Rose Quartz Crystal Sword With Stand
To behold this piece is to be instantly immersed in a storm-tossed naval battle. The sword's pink blade slashing through the lightning-illuminated night, expertly wielded by a scraggly swashbuckler carving their way to the prized booty.
This is a piece for the adventurer in all of us.
What we have for you is an extremely fun piece: a 24.7" long carved, rose quartz crystal sword. This sword is extremely realistic and has exceptional clarity throughout. The blade is splattered with internal fracturing that adds an outstanding pattern to an already appealing specimen. Near the blade guard is a long red streak that is most likely caused by hematite inclusions. This adds an extra dollop of awesomeness to this fearsome faux weapon. The craftsmanship present on this specimen is indicative of a skilled carver with a bright imagination.
Comes with the pictured, hammered copper-finished display stand.

Rose quartz is a type of quartz that exhibits a pale pink to rose-red hue. It is most commonly found in large masses and very rarely forms individual crystals, unlike many other varieties of quartz. While rose quartz can be found many places throughout the world, the best commercially available material comes from Madagascar and Brazil. It is frequently polished and used for decorative purposes.
Rose quartz is evenly colored with masses ranging from pink to almost purple. The exact cause of the color was debated for years. Originally it was assumed to either be due to rutile inclusions (titanium dioxide) within the quartz masses, or irradiated "color centers", as is the case with amethyst or smoky quartz. An x-ray diffraction study in 1987 showed that it was due to neither of these, but due to the inclusion of microscopic fibers believed to be the mineral dumortierite. Even more recent analysis using other techniques have shown the microscopic fibers are an unidentified mineral closely related to dumortierite. These fibers make up up only about 0.05% - 0.15% of the overall weight of rose quartz.
