A bit of gemology: chemically, nothing distinguishes strawberry quartz from rock crystal: it is silicon dioxide, with a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. Its entire character lies in its inclusions. During crystal formation, needles and flakes of iron oxides settled on its surface before being enveloped by the next stage of growth. Their distribution, never identical, makes each bead a unique piece. The most renowned deposits are found in Kazakhstan. In lithotherapy: associated with the heart chakra, strawberry quartz is often chosen as a stone of gentleness; it is said to encourage soothing of emotions and simple joy. 100% natural product: the size, shape, and shade may vary slightly from one bead to another.
