Clear Quartz Heart - 1 inch

The Clear Quartz Heart is a small translucent stone, ranging from near-transparent through to a soft milky cloudiness depending on the piece, with light passing right through the thinner sections at the point and lobe edges. Internal veils and fractures catch the light in some pieces and are entirely absent in others. The polish is high and glassy, and at this size the Heart sits neatly between two fingers, light enough to carry without noticing. Clarity varies substantially across the batch, from clean and glassy to almost entirely clouded.

Clear Quartz is traditionally associated with clarity and focus, and carries the broadest reputation of any stone in the trade as an all-purpose piece, commonly described as amplifying whatever it is paired with. A secondary association with balance and harmony supports that flexible role, and Clear Quartz is the stone most often placed at the centre of a grid or kept on a desk for general use rather than a specific one. At this scale the Heart works as a small carry piece or as a component in a larger arrangement.

Geological Information
Clear Quartz is silicon dioxide at Mohs 7 in the trigonal system, and the colourlessness is the result of an absence of impurities allowing full light transmission through the crystal structure. Silicon dioxide is the most abundant mineral compound in the Earth's crust, and quartz is found on every continent, making this one of the most widely available minerals in existence. Quartz is piezoelectric, generating an electrical charge under mechanical stress, a property that makes it one of the most industrially significant minerals on the planet and puts it inside watches, oscillators, and precision instruments. The material is natural; some quartz is laboratory grown for industrial applications, but retail crystal material is natural unless stated otherwise. Virtually every human culture with access to quartz has used it, and crystal spheres have been used for scrying across cultures for thousands of years. Sources include Brazil, Madagascar, the USA, China, and the Alps.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
