This is a raw, unprocessed, genuine white quartz natural stone.
It is also popular as a power stone.
Quartz (silica) is a mineral formed by the crystallization of silicon dioxide (SiO2), often forming beautiful hexagonal prismatic euhedral crystals. Among these, those that are particularly close to transparent are called quartz.

Quartz can be artificially produced.
The main component of glass is also silicon dioxide (SiO2).
There are generally three types of quartz sold.
"Natural Quartz," "Treated Quartz," and "Artificial Quartz."
Even when labeled as natural quartz, it seems many are artificial quartz.
In terms of colorless transparency, "Treated Quartz" is the best, followed by "Artificial Quartz."
Colorless transparent "Natural Quartz" is very rare and scarce.
It is prohibitively expensive for ordinary people.
However, the crystal structures are all similar.

Orange quartz (citrine) is quartz with impurities mixed in.
It is due to trace amounts of iron ions reacting.
Although labeled as a natural stone, it is likely amethyst (purple quartz) that has been heated to change its color to orange.
It is natural because it is based on natural amethyst, but it can also be considered artificial because it has undergone heat treatment.
Natural orange citrine is quite rare and expensive.

As power stones, quartz is associated with "purification" and "concentration."
In Japan, Yamanashi quartz was famous, but it is no longer produced.
Takeda Shingen was also one of the people captivated by Yamanashi quartz.
The "large prayer beads" of quartz that Shingen wore in battle, and his war fan inlaid with quartz, still remain today, suggesting that quartz was considered a charm for praying for victory.
Quartz is said to fulfill all wishes, but it is especially recommended as a charm for luck in competition.
If you are looking for beautiful transparent quartz as an interior decoration, please purchase "artificial quartz."
For power stones, please purchase our natural quartz.

As they are natural raw stones, they are irregular and their colors are not uniform.
Furthermore, impurities may be mixed in.
The images are taken with bright lighting, but they may appear slightly dull in normal lighting conditions.
This is a raw stone, not a gemstone.
Please contemplate the mystery that the Earth has created over hundreds of millions of years.
Please purchase after understanding these points.
