Physical properties
Hardness: 7 (Quartz), 4 (Fluorite). Colors: Pink (Rose Quartz), Purple (Amethyst), Yellow (Citrine/Yellow Quartz), Green (Fluorite), Red (Strawberry Quartz). Luster: Vitreous. Crystal system: Trigonal and Isometric.
Formation & geological history
Quartz forms primarily in igneous and metamorphic environments via hydrothermal veins. Fluorite typically forms in hydrothermal deposits and sedimentary rocks like limestone. Common geological ages vary from Precambrian to Cenozoic.
Uses & applications
Primarily used in jewelry, fashion accessories, crystal healing practices, and as collector specimens for lapidary interest.
Geological facts
The bracelet features several varieties of macrocrystalline quartz. Amethyst gets its purple color from irradiation and iron impurities. Rose quartz gets its pink hue from trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese. Fluorite is famous for displaying a wide range of colors due to structural defects.
Field identification & locations
Identified by the distinct colors, translucency, and bead shape. Most of these minerals are found worldwide, notably in Brazil, Madagascar, and the USA. Verification can be done via hardness tests or looking for internal inclusions characteristic of natural quartz.
