Eye-visible inclusions are common in almost all quartz varieties except rose quartz. Although massive rose quartz is colored by submicroscopic inclusions (see J. S. Goreva et al., “Fibrous nanoinclusions in massive rose quartz: The origin of rose coloration,” American Mineralogist, Vol. 86, No. 4, 2001, pp. 466–472), only very rarely does this material contain macroscopic inclusions  At the 2005 Tucson gem shows, one of these contributors had some unusual rose quartz from Madagascar that displayed abundant, conspicuous inclusions with a metallic luster
