Solar Quartz Pendant

Solar Quartz is a beautiful and captivating variety of quartz that is prized for its unique appearance. It is not a naturally occurring quartz variety but rather a type of agatized quartz. Solar Quartz is created when clear quartz crystals are sliced and polished, and then a thin layer of another mineral, often agate, forms on the surface. This process creates the mesmerizing patterns and colors that make Solar Quartz so attractive.

Properties and Characteristics of Solar Quartz:

1. Appearance: Solar Quartz showcases stunning and intricate patterns with a beautiful combination of colors, including whites, grays, browns, and sometimes even hints of other hues like blue or green.
