Strawberry Quartz

Strawberry Quartz From Russia 1.85 CT

Natural Strawberry Quartz from Russia is a highly prized mineral featuring a clear to milky-white quartz base naturally speckled with red or pink inclusions of iron oxides, hematite, or lepidocrocite. Authentic Russian specimens are exceptionally rare and valued for their shimmering, rich cherry-red coloring and translucency. 

Key Characteristics

• Appearance: Contains distinctive "strawberry seeds" ranging from delicate pink to deep ruby red. The hematite inclusions often cause the stone to glisten or shimmer when rotated in the light. 

• Hardness: Measures 6.0 to 7.0 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for a variety of jewelry applications. 

• Metaphysical Uses: Widely cherished in crystal healing and often associated with promoting unconditional love, emotional healing, and positive energy. 

Market and Sourcing

While genuine Russian Strawberry Quartz can be found in the form of raw stones, cabochons, and beads, a large portion of the market relies on deposits from neighboring Kazakhstan as well as Africa and Brazil. Because natural supplies are scarce, you will frequently encounter synthetic "Strawberry Quartz" on the market, which is typically made from colored glass.
