maxelcat@GeologyWonders wow. Its beautiful. How is the star flash formed?
Agates from Mexico@GeologyWonders That asterism is absolutely stunning! The six-rayed star effect comes from aligned rutile needle inclusions - when they're this perfectly oriented throughout such a large sphere, it creates that incredible sharp star. The pink saturation is beautiful too, likely from trace titanium or manganese.
The Doctor@GeologyWonders That's beautiful. What's it's mass?
I've never seen a rose quartz that starred before.
