Uses
- Jewellery: wire-wrapped pendants, charms and drilled beads.
- Collecting: a fine example of the stone, polished to show its natural pattern.
- Décor: bowls, vases, terrariums and display dishes.
- Lapidary and craft: a ready-polished piece for drilling, setting and mosaic work.
Care and cleaning
- Wash in warm water with a little mild soap and dry with a soft cloth. Quartz is hard, but a sharp knock can still chip an edge.
- Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners and harsh chemicals: microcrystalline quartz is slightly porous, and any dye or polish residue can be affected.
