Clear Quartz Beads
Natural Clear Quartz
Loose clear quartz rounds by the strand, glassy in places and lightly veiled in others. Graded for size, not for clarity, so internal wisps and healed fractures are visible.

About the Stone
Clear quartz is silicon dioxide grown in a repeating lattice, which is why it forms six-sided prisms and takes a cold glassy polish. The veils and feathers inside beads are healed fractures and pockets of fluid trapped as the crystal grew. Some beads read as water-clear, others as frosted, from the same strand.

- Note
Clear quartz is silicon dioxide grown in a repeating three-dimensional lattice, and it grows as six-sided prisms because of that lattice. Its internal wisps are healed fractures and trapped fluid from the time the crystal formed.
