Quartz (variety rose quartz)
 

MF96AM7: A novelty at Tucson Virtual 2021. Unusual fan-shaped growths on matrix of translucent, lustrous and deep pink Quartz crystals whose color is not due to inclusions of iron oxides but rather is inherent to the Quartz itself. The exact name of the mine is not yet known, but it will surely become known with the passage of time.
Huancayo Province, Junín Department  Peru (2020)

Specimen size: 5 × 3 × 2.8 cm = 1.97” × 1.18” × 1.10”
