A serene Buddha head is carved into this polished cabochon of crystal quartz, about 22 by 30 millimeters.
Wire wrap it into a pendant, set it in a bezel, or display it on a small stand in a meditation space or collection. It makes a peaceful, meaningful gift. The small size also suits a bracelet focal or a ring setting.
Quartz is hard and durable, rated 7 on the Mohs scale, so it holds up to wire wrapping and handling. Rinse it with water and dry it with a soft cloth, and store it apart from other cabochons to avoid scratches. Each carving varies slightly in clarity and detail, so small natural inclusions may show.
The stone is sold as crystal quartz quartzite. Clear quartz is silicon dioxide with a Mohs hardness of 7, and quartzite is a hard metamorphic rock made of tightly interlocked quartz grains, so both take a smooth polish.
