Solar Quartz
Out of Stock
When you hear of solar quartz I hope you don’t think of the tacky rainbow dyed solar quartz that has plagued the gemstone market as of late. Solar Quartz is an agatized quartz that starts out as part of stalactites. It’s normally clear to cloudy-white in color—similar to most agates—and has various mineral inclusions inside of it. Most commonly, those inclusions are flecks and specks of green or gray. However, based on the type of mineral that is included inside the quartz, it will appear a different color. When a particular mineral inclusion is rare amongst another, it just means that a specific type of environment that isn’t typically common actually occurred to produce a rock formation unlike the others. The stone cutter who cut this piece of quartz, nor I, can tell you exactly what this yellow-orange blob is inside of this stone, but we sure have never seen anything like it! It’s truly unique (and probably the reason why I’ve had the stone in my personal collection for 5 years)
The pendant measures 2 1/16″ tall by 1 1/4″ wide. The chain is currently 28″ long but can be shorten upon request. Please measure yourself to find your best length.
The entire piece is made in sterling silver. This necklace is one-of-a-kind and is ready to ship.
