Rose Quartz was declared the color of the year by people whose job it is to declare such things, which caused everyone to either buy it immediately or refuse it on principle, both reactions being exactly what the committee intended. The Rose Quartz Pink Strawflower arrived before the declaration and will be here after the cycle completes. The strawflower is already papery and preserved when it grows — permanent is its natural state. In rose quartz pink ceramic it is simply more honest about this than most flowers are. 4 inches across. One screw. No water.
