Green Quartz Beads

Verdant green hues and semi-transparency make for an eye-catching stone! Well known even to ancient peoples, Quartz crystals were shaped into tools in the prehistoric age. Before the European Renaissance, quartz was thought to be fossilized water. Quartz was very popular for carved decorative objects in Europe up until the Victorian period.

Quartz is a silicon dioxide, and the most common mineral in the Earth’s crust. Transparent quartz has a macrocrystalline structure, meaning crystals and grains are visible to the eye.

Many believe that quartz stones are associated with healing energies.
