From 1 kilogram of rough, you can create approximately 30-50 medium cabochons (10-15mm), 100+ small tumbled stones, 20-30 carved pieces, or 200+ small beads—depending on piece sizes and your cutting skill. The 2-20 gram size range provides versatility for multiple project types. Expect 40-60% yield from rough to finished product depending on clarity and your lapidary technique. Is this rose quartz suitable for faceting or only cabochons? While rose quartz is traditionally cut as cabochons to showcase its translucent glow, the clearer semi-transparent pieces in this parcel can be faceted for unique rose quartz gemstones. Faceted rose quartz creates soft, romantic gems with gentle brilliance—perfect for alternative engagement rings or statement jewelry. The majority of material is ideal for cabochons, carvings, and tumbling. Why is rose quartz pink, and is the color natural? Rose quartz's pink color is completely natural, caused by trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese within the quartz crystal structure. This parcel contains 100% untreated material with authentic natural color. Unlike some dyed or heat-treated pink stones, natural rose quartz maintains its color permanently and won't fade with normal wear or sunlight exposure. Can rose quartz be used in all types of jewelry? Yes! With Mohs hardness of 7, rose quartz is durable enough for all jewelry types including rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets, and brooches. It's harder than most gemstones (comparable to amethyst and citrine) and suitable for daily wear. The gentle pink color pairs beautifully with gold, silver, and rose gold settings, making it versatile for both modern and vintage-inspired designs. What's the difference between translucent and semi-transparent rose quartz? Translucent rose quartz allows light to pass through but you can't see clearly through it—ideal for glowing cabochons. Semi-transparent material has better clarity, allowing more light transmission and potential for faceting. Both types are included in this parcel, giving you options for different lapidary applications. Neither is "better"—they simply suit different design purposes. Do you offer smaller quantities or larger bulk orders? Yes! While this listing is for 1 kilogram, we can accommodate various quantity needs.
