Rose quartz is such a bright yet soft and feminine shade of pink.  It's one of my favorites.  This large handmade glass bead is made using transparent rose quartz glass. It is a beautiful true "pinky" pink. There are thousands of air bubbles trapped within this large lentil bead. The photo below depicts the transparency and all of the air bubbles trapped within this shiny glass bead.
