{"product_id":"sphere-emerald-with-quartz-1-75-2-5","title":"Emerald with Quartz Sphere - 2.5 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Emerald in Quartz Sphere is a fully polished orb of pale, translucent Quartz threaded with deep forest-green Emerald. The green sits in irregular pockets and veils running through the lighter body, so the colour shifts as the Sphere is turned to the light. The surface is smooth and even all the way around, with the cool, solid weight of a true crystal Sphere in the hand, and it reads equally well cradled in the palm or set on a stand where the Emerald draws the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEmerald is traditionally associated with the heart and with open, compassionate connection, and is one of the classic stones for matters of love and emotional steadiness. The surrounding Quartz is widely regarded as an amplifier and a stone of mental clarity, and the two are commonly used together to bring a sense of balance to heart-centred intention. People keep a piece like this on a desk or bedside, hold it during quiet reflection, or place it in a shared living space; spheres in particular are favoured for radiating their associations evenly in all directions, which is part of why they are chosen for meditation and gridwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a natural Emerald in Quartz, the spread of green, the pattern of inclusions, and the depth of colour differ from one Sphere to the next, so the piece you receive will be its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Love \u0026amp; Compassion\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Balance \u0026amp; Harmony\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Heart, Crown\u003cbr\u003e\nBirthstone: May (Emerald)\u003cbr\u003e\nAlternate Birthstone: April (Clear Quartz)\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Goat\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Sun, Venus\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Earth, Air, Water\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 7 to 8 (varies by component)\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Cyclosilicate (Emerald), Tectosilicate (Quartz)\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Natural Emerald in Quartz\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: Brazil\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Sphere\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 61-63 mm (2.4 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 346-376 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEmerald is the green variety of beryl, a beryllium aluminium silicate that crystallises in the hexagonal system at a Mohs hardness of 7.5 to 8, its colour produced by traces of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Almost all natural Emerald carries internal inclusions and fractures, known in the gem trade by the French term jardin, meaning garden; in a specimen like this the Emerald is held within a body of Quartz, a silicon dioxide sitting at Mohs 7. Emerald belongs to the same beryl family as aquamarine and morganite and has been prized since antiquity, famously mined in ancient Egypt and traded by the Inca, while Quartz is among the most abundant minerals on Earth and is found on every continent. This material is sourced from Brazil, one of the principal modern Emerald origins alongside Colombia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.\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.
