Strawberry quartz from Russia.
Strawberry quartz from Russia is a highly sought-after, natural crystal renowned for its deep, rich red to translucent pink color. Its signature "berry-like" sparkle comes from natural inclusions of hematite, goethite, or lepidocrocite. Gem-quality deposits in regions like Dalnegorsk produce some of the most vibrant genuine specimens available.
Key Characteristics

- Hardness: Measures 7.0 on the Mohs scale, making it highly durable for everyday wear.
