Clear Quartz Faceted Bracelet (13mm)

Geological Overview

Clear Quartz, historically known as Rock Crystal, is the purest macrocrystalline form of silicon dioxide, represented by the chemical formula SiO₂. Unlike other coloured quartz varieties, it lacks the trace elemental impurities (such as iron or aluminum) that cause colouration. It crystallizes in the trigonal system, typically forming in igneous pegmatites and hydrothermal veins. Its structural purity allows for exceptional light transmission and optical clarity.

Aesthetic Appeal

This offering features natural, water-clear Quartz shaped into substantial 13mm (0.51 in) faceted spherical beads. The oversized 13mm format provides a significant visual presence and satisfying weight. The precise faceted cuts maximize the stone's natural brilliance, allowing the geometric surfaces to catch and refract light, creating a prismatic, luminous effect across the entire piece.

Metaphysical Properties

In metaphysical traditions, Clear Quartz is universally revered as the "Master Healer" and a profound amplifier of energy and thought. Deeply connected to the Crown Chakra, it is traditionally utilized to clear mental fog, elevate consciousness, and amplify the properties of other minerals it is paired with.

Rarity & Collectibility

While massive quartz is globally abundant, yielding large 13mm beads with this level of flawless optical clarity requires premium rough material and careful selection to avoid internal fracturing during the faceting process. This bracelet offers a bold, premium presentation of a foundational collector's mineral, classifying it as a highly attractive decorative-grade accessory.

Collector’s & Display Notes

Quartz rates a solid 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it highly durable for daily wear. However, the sharp edges of faceted cuts can be susceptible to micro-chipping upon heavy impact. To preserve the surface polish and the integrity of the clear elastic stretch cord, avoid exposing the bracelet to harsh cleaning chemicals, excessive moisture, or sudden physical shocks.

Condition & Authenticity

These are all-natural, polished and faceted Clear Quartz beads with no artificial enhancements, coatings, or dyes. Minor surface variations along the facet edges are normal and consistent with the lapidary faceting process.
