Strawberry Quartz
Strawberry Quartz
Quartz is one of the most plentiful minerals on earth, making up about 12% of the earth’s crust. Anyway, ‘Fruit Quartz’ is the general trade term for a group of colorful, translucent materials which are individually known by fruit-like names such as “cherry quartz”, “blueberry quartz”, “strawberry quartz”, “kiwi quartz”, “pineapple quartz”, and so on. They are commonly carved into jewelry components such as beads or pendants or into decorative objects.
Strawberry quartz is a very rare type of quartz. It was found in Kazakhstan, one of the former Soviet republics. The color of this stone varies from pale pink to pink, and it has shining and sparkling needles of GOETHITE inside, which make strawberry quartz so attractive.
Strawberry quartz gets its color from inclusions of various forms of iron oxide. There are four different but chemically related iron oxides that may be found in quartz. They include lepidocrocite (FeO(OH)), goethite (also FeO(OH) but with a different crystal structure), limonite (FeO(OH)*nH2O) and hematite (Fe2O3).
