Polished pink-and-white quartz bead bracelet

Quartz (SiO₂), likely rose quartz and milky quartz; some orange beads may be iron-stained quartz or pale carnelian

AI-generated identification · may be incorrect

Mohs hardness 7; vitreous to waxy luster, translucent to opaque, white, pink, and orange coloration, and hexagonal crystal structure (largely obscured by polishing). Quartz has no cleavage, conchoidal fracture, and specific gravity about 2.65.

Physical properties

Formation & geological history

Quartz formed in silica-rich hydrothermal veins, pegmatites, or metamorphic rocks over varied geologic ages; pink color commonly results from trace elements or microscopic inclusions. The beads are human-cut, drilled, and polished geological material.

Uses & applications

Used as inexpensive jewelry, ornamental stone, lapidary material, and spiritual/collectible items. Common commercial-grade bracelets generally have modest value.

Geological facts

Uniform round beads, natural color variation, and glassy surfaces are consistent with quartz, though dyeing or surface treatment cannot be excluded from an image alone.

Field identification & locations

Common sources include Brazil, Madagascar, India, and the United States. Check for quartz’s hardness, lack of cleavage, cool feel, and conchoidal fracture; scratch testing should be avoided on finished jewelry.
