Strawberry Quartz Ring

Strawberry Quartz – a captivating variety of quartz, distinguished by its unique pink or reddish hue and characteristic texture.

Its attractive color is due to tiny scaly or needle-like inclusions of iron oxides, most often hematite, lepidocrocite, or goethite, scattered within a transparent or translucent quartz base. These inclusions create a visual effect reminiscent of strawberry seeds, giving the stone its distinctive depth, shimmer, and recognition.

The main deposits of high-quality Strawberry Quartz are found in Brazil, Mexico, the USA, and Madagascar. This mineral is prized by collectors for its aesthetic appeal and the unique pattern of its inclusions. While sometimes attributed with properties of promoting love and tranquility, its primary value lies in its natural beauty. Thanks to its unusual appearance and sufficient hardness, Strawberry Quartz is a popular choice for creating original jewelry pieces.

It is often cut into cabochons to best showcase its internal patterns and the play of light on the inclusions. Other types of cuts are also used. The stone looks magnificent in earrings, pendants, rings, and bracelets, adding a touch of natural elegance, warmth, and uniqueness to the pieces.
