Star Clear Quartz Sphere 20-30mm

This stunning Clear Quartz Sphere appears to contain a star! 

An asterism is a star-shaped concentration of reflected or refracted light from a gemstone cautilized by the presence of nearly microscopic rutile inclusions. 

A gemstone that exhibits this effect is referred to as a star stone or asteria. The best known is star sapphire, but many other minerals can also be asteria, usually due to impurities in the crystal structure.

Clear quartz is one of the most abundant minerals in the world and is rated at a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Clear quartz is thought metaphysically to promote understanding, clarity, and is associated with inner strength.

Each piece is similar, though no item at Crystal Joys is exactly the same as every item is a unique stone that is non-fabricated. Slight variations in color, size, and shape may exist. Every item at Crystal Joys is true "one of a kind".
