Hello team While acknowledging that appreciation for gemstones is subjective and even worst that the low res. photos presented below might not suffice, yet I had to place this to get opinions from all who can volunteer. Mines in SW Nigeria I've encountered in my search for gems (coming from the Jos Plateau - Central Nigeria) present certain Rose Quartz pieces ranging in size form 1kg(5000Cts) - 2.5Kg with zero inclusions, with atleast 2Tonnes already extracted. Kindly opine as to whether 1. The below pieces fall within the acceptable threshold for cloudiness in Rose Quartz? 2. The below are export-grade?
Thanks.
See a few selected listed below; A, B and C.

They aren't facet grade with that level of milkiness, but they probably have great starring potential. The solidity and lack of fractures makes it fairly attractive overall. I imagine it would be good for carving as well. Color is decent but a bit pale. Overall, it looks nice and I imagine there would be some inerest.
