Star Rose Quartz Crystal Skulls

What creates the special star effect in some rose quartz?

Star rose quartz is only found in a few locations in the world. Rose quartz is opaque to translucent microcrystalline quartz of pink to rose-red colour. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile crystals which are oriented at right angles to the c-axis of the rose quartz in three directions, each 120 degrees apart. When viewed at a specific angle with a source of light a star-effect is visible. This is known as asterism. What is interesting is that this star formation only appears when the stone is polished in a spherical shape - like the cranium of a crystal skull. The stars come out most dramatically in the natural light of the sun - sometimes with an almost 3D effect that seems to rise up out of the crystal.

As with a star sapphire, when these star rose quartz crystal skulls are in direct light (especially bright sunlight), a six-sided star appears on the cranium. This star formation can seem to magically pop up and hover in a 3-d holographic effect that is one of the marvels of this unique stone. As you move it and play with the lighting, this star formation moves around the skull as if it is filled with starlight, or lightning. (However, this effect can be very difficult to photograph.)
