70.84 Ct. Cabochon Rose Quartz from Brazil

Every gemstone begins as a quiet conversation between earth and time, and this rose quartz carries that conversation from the heart of Brazil to you. Mined from crystalline veins where silica rich fluids cooled slowly within pegmatite pockets, this piece was born in an environment that favored both clarity and subtle color. At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace that journey from dirt to discovery, and we take pride in knowing the mine that yielded this crystal and the hands that first picked it from the matrix. The pale pink of rose quartz is a gift of trace elements and structural nuances within the quartz family, and when light finds its way through this stone the result is a soft, romantic glow that has been cherished across cultures. Brazil has produced some of the finest rose quartz specimens known to the trade, and this specimen was selected for its transparency and the quality that a patient earth can produce.

What you have here is a transparent, cushion shaped pink rose quartz weighing 70.84 carat, with dimensions of 25.40 by 25.00 by 16.20 mm. The cutter chose a sugar loaf cut to honor the crystal habit and to enhance the gentle radiance within, creating a rounded, domed profile with subtle facets that catch light in a whisper rather than a shout. The clarity is graded slightly included as evaluated at eye level, inclusions that tell the story of formation rather than detract from beauty. The color intensity is light, a delicate blush that reads as elegant and wearable, and the polish is excellent, the surface finished to a smooth, reflective sheen that amplifies the stone's natural glow. There has been no enhancement, which means the color and clarity you see are wholly natural, preserved from the moment the piece was uncovered until the final hand finish. These factual details matter because they inform how the gem will perform in jewelry and how it will age with you.

The transformation from rough Brazilian crystal to this finished cushion shaped gem was guided by both technique and intuition. Sugar loaf cutting honors the original mass of the crystal while maximizing its optical potential, and our master cutters at The Natural Gemstone Company assessed the piece for orientation, internal features, and the best way to balance weight retention with visual appeal. Slight inclusions required thoughtful planning, the kind that comes from years of experience shaping quartz so that internal characteristics become part of the gem's unique fingerprint. The result is a stone with a generous face up presence, ample depth, and an evenness of tone that makes it versatile in design. Whether set into a statement pendant that lets light pass through, or mounted into a bold ring that showcases its cushion outline, this rose quartz responds gracefully to light and movement. Its excellent polish means that in any setting the surface will reflect and transmit light cleanly, while the subtle inclusions deepen character rather than cloud performance.

Beyond the geological and the gemological, rose quartz carries meaning that has threaded through human cultures for centuries. Ancient civilizations associated pink quartz with love and healing, using it in talismans and in rituals to open the heart. Today designers and collectors value rose quartz for its soft aesthetic and emotional resonance, a stone that suggests calm, compassion, and connection. Owning a substantial, untouched specimen such as this 70.84 carat cushion offers more than visual pleasure, it offers a tangible link to earth processes and to traditions of reverence for natural beauty. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that link by presenting this gem as a truthful, fully documented example of Brazilian rose quartz, ready to be set into a bespoke creation or added to a curated collection. If you are seeking a gem with a story etched into its very structure, a stone that combines substantial size with a refined, light pink presence, this cushion shaped sugar loaf cut rose quartz invites you to imagine the designs it might inspire and the sentiments it might hold.
