Strand of faceted rondelle beads 5,5 x 4 mm in natural strawberry quartz

A strand of about 39 cm of faceted strawberry quartz rondelles, in a pale, luminous pink. In the transparency of the stone, fine copper-red flecks drift, sparkling as the facets catch the light with every movement. Features: Stone: natural strawberry quartz Shape: faceted rondelle Size: about 5.5 mm in diameter Thickness: about 4 mm Hole: about 0.8 mm Strand length: about 39 cm Quantity: about 90 beads per strand Color: light pink, red inclusions Strung end to end, the rondelles form a dense, even row, ideal for a choker necklace or a multi-strand bracelet. They also slip between round beads to add rhythm to a design. With a hole of about 0.8 mm, a 0.4 to 0.6 mm nylon thread or a thin cable is suitable. These same rondelles are also available in a lot of 10. A little gemology: strawberry quartz is a colorless quartz (silicon dioxide, trigonal system) that trapped countless micro-crystals of iron oxides during its growth, especially lepidocrocite and hematite. Its color therefore does not come from the silica itself, but from these inclusions, visible under a loupe as dots and tiny needles. Hardness 7 on the Mohs scale, density about 2.65. Its name evokes strawberry seeds; Kazakhstan is its best-known deposit, ahead of Brazil and Madagascar. In lithotherapy: strawberry quartz is linked to the heart chakra. It is said to carry a gentle energy, focused on tenderness and kindness toward oneself and others. 100% natural product: the size, shape, shade and number of beads may vary slightly from one strand to another.
