Rose Quartzite boulders

Rose Quartzite boulders are hard to walk past. The stone is pink and translucent, so light passes into the surface and gives it a soft glow. That quality makes these boulders a natural choice for a spot where the sun will reach them. One piece can be the highlight of a small garden, and a group of them makes a memorable accent along a path or near an entry.

Translucent pink stone

The pink color and the translucent quality are what set this quartzite apart. Morning or late afternoon sun shows it at its best.

Each boulder differs in shape and depth of color. Choosing in person lets you find the ones that catch your eye.

Showing it off in the garden

Use Rose Quartzite as a focal accent in a planting bed, beside a bench or near the front walk. Dark mulch, gray gravel and green foliage all make the pink stand out.

Our boulder landscaping ideas cover placement and grouping.
