The crackled interior gives the Sphere a glittering, shattered-ice depth under the smooth polished surface, and it sits comfortably in the palm or on a small stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClear Quartz is traditionally associated with clarity and amplification, and crackle quartz is popularly kept for its dramatic internal sparkle and warm colour. People keep a Sphere like this on a desk or shelf, hold it during reflection, or add it to a collection for its striking fractured glow. The sphere form is favoured for radiating its qualities evenly in all directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the crackling and colour treatment vary with each piece, the density of the internal fractures and the depth of the red differ from one Sphere to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Clarity \u0026amp; Focus\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Intuition \u0026amp; Spiritual Awareness\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Crown\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Aries, Leo\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Tiger, Dragon\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Mercury\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Earth, Fire\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 7\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Tectosilicate\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Natural Clear Quartz (thermal-shock crackled and dyed red)\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: Brazil\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Sphere\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 64-66 mm (2.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 368-405 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is Clear Quartz, a silicon dioxide at a Mohs hardness of 7, that has been treated to create the crackled red effect. The quartz is heated and then rapidly cooled, a process called thermal shock that crazes the interior with a network of fine internal fractures, the look traditionally marketed as \"Fire and Ice.\" Coloured dye is then drawn into those fractures to produce the red colouration; the red is a man-made colour treatment, not a natural feature of the quartz, and the dye sits within the internal cracks. Both the thermal-shock crackling and the dye treatment are disclosed here in full. The base quartz is sourced from Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach 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.
