The light Rose Quartz used for here was mined by Robert Michael at the abandoned Clara May Mine near Buena Vista, Colorado. The vast majority of the Rose Quartz in this location is very opaque / cloudy, and not suitable for gem cutting.  However, on close examiniation, Robert realized there were small, clear portions in some of the crystals that were gem quality.  So he cut away the cloudy portion of one crystal and then faceted these two matching 5mm round gems, weighing .5 carats each, and set them in Sterling Silver Earrings.
