Clear Quartz is colourless and transparent (clear) or translucent, ranging through to milky or cloudy almost opaque crystal and is amongst the most common types of crystals on the planet. The dominant mineral in this stone is silicon and Clear Quartz belongs to the trigonal crystal system with a Mohs Hardness of 7. It occurs in a variety of shapes and configurations from massive form to the ideal hexagonal shape terminating in a six-sided pyramid.

Quartz Crystal gets its name from the Greek krystallos, meaning ice, as it was thought that Clear Quartz was ice formed by the Gods, and the word Quartz is attributed to the German word of Slavic origin, Quarz, meaning hard.

Rose quartz is a pink variety of the mineral quartz, known as the “stone of universal love”. It typically has a Mohs hardness of 7 and forms in “massive” intergrown structures rather than distinct geometric crystals. Its soft blush hue comes from microscopic inclusions of fibrous minerals like dumortierite.

Found globally, with major deposits in Brazil, Madagascar, India, and South Dakota (USA)

Shell pearls are simulated or manufactured pearls created by coating a solid core with crushed mollusk shells (mother-of-pearl) and artificial nacre. Highly durable and perfectly uniform, they offer a budget friendly and cruelty free alternative to natural or cultured pearls, while maintaining a high-quality, brilliant shine.

Unlike natural pearls, which often have minor blemishes or variations, shell pearls are manufactured to be incredibly uniform, perfectly round, and feature a flawless mirror-like luster.
