At first glance this crystal bottle appears to be of a pale pink tone, although clearly not made of rose quartz. Under magnification, it is revealed that the pink color comes from a myriad of dense, pale pink rutile needles which are incredibly fine and evenly dispersed throughout the stone. The crystal itself is flawless, supporting the visual impact of the rutile needles and resulting in a unique bottle which is both delicate and stunning.
