This ring features natural quartz, a crystalline form of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) known for its clarity, durability, and widespread presence in Earth's crust. Quartz crystals form through the slow cooling of silica-rich fluids in igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary environments.
Features:
-
Composition: Silicon dioxide, one of the most abundant and stable minerals on Earth.
-
Appearance: Typically clear or milky, but may include inclusions or slight color variations depending on trace elements.
-
Formation: Grows in a variety of geologic settings, including hydrothermal veins and igneous rock cavities.
-
Physical Properties: Hard and resistant to weathering (Mohs hardness 7), making it ideal for jewelry.
-
Educational Value: Useful for exploring crystallography, mineral formation, and the role of quartz in rock classification.
A quartz ring combines durability with natural mineral structure, offering both aesthetic and scientific appeal.
