Physical properties
Hardness: 7 on Mohs scale. Color: Pale orange to soft peach. Luster: Vitreous to waxy when polished. Crystal structure: Trigonal. Cleavage: None, exhibits conchoidal fracture. Specific gravity: 2.65.
Formation & geological history
Forms in hydrothermal veins and pegmatites, cooling from silica-rich solutions over millions of years. Can be found globally.
Uses & applications
Used primarily in lapidary arts, wire-wrapped jewelry, crystal healing collections, and home decor.
Geological facts
Peach quartz gets its gentle, warm hue from natural irradiation combined with trace amounts of lithium or iron trapped within the silica lattice during formation.
Field identification & locations
Easily identified by its smooth tumbled oval shape, waxy-vitreous luster, conchoidal fracture, and Mohs hardness of 7, making it durable and popular among beginner rockhounds.
