Strawberry Quartz is a general trade name for quartz that contains tiny inclusions of iron oxide (such as Hematite or Goethite) that give the crystal its pinkish, reddish, or strawberry-like spotted colouration. The quartz itself is typically clear or translucent, beautifully showcasing the microscopic red inclusions. It possesses a high vitreous lustre. It is a durable and popular stone, often cut into cabochons, beads, and polished carvings for jewellery.
Strawberry Quartz is known as the "Stone of Joyful Love and Vitality." It carries a gentle, loving energy that stimulates the Heart Chakra, promoting self-love, compassion, and the willingness to find joy and humour in life's challenges.
