Cut across a quartz stalactite and you get a sunburst: crystals radiating out from a central point like rays. That is solar quartz, and this white druzy half shows the pattern in a clean, frosty tone.
Each piece measures about 19 to 28 millimeters by 17 to 26 millimeters, a nice size for pendants, rings and wire-wrapped charms. The natural white color pairs with both silver and gold, and it is an affordable way to add an unusual formation to a mineral collection. Other colors are available too.
Solar quartz is a slice through a quartz stalactite. Stalactites grow as mineral-rich water drips and deposits layer after layer, and in quartz stalactites the crystals grow outward from a central channel, creating the star-like pattern you see in cross section. Quartz rates 7 on the Mohs scale.
What is solar quartz? A cross-section slice of a quartz stalactite, where crystals radiate from the center like a sun.
