What is Strawberry Quartz?

Natural strawberry quartz is quartz coloured pink to red by inclusions of iron minerals such as hematite, goethite or lepidocrocite, which can look like tiny seeds or sparkles. Material comes from Mexico, Kazakhstan, Brazil and Madagascar.

Because it is popular, glass imitations with a uniform pink colour and bubbles are common – buy from trusted sellers.
