CLEAR QUARTZ

(Alternate Names: Rock Crystal, Crystal Quartz)

Appearance

Clear Quartz is transparent to milky-clear, often colorless with a glassy luster. It commonly forms as six-sided prismatic crystals with pointed terminations, though clusters, double-terminated points, and raw masses are also found. Internal fractures, rainbows, or wisps are common—signs of growth rather than flaw.

This is clarity with depth: light that moves through something, not around it.

How to Tell Real from Fake

Real Clear Quartz:
– Cool to the touch

– Synthetic crystal grown without disclosure

If it feels alive with clarity rather than hollow shine, it’s likely genuine.
