Sugar Quartz Cluster – Abundance

I first saw these Sugar Quartz clusters five years ago as semi polished pieces and they sold out fast. Never saw since until this year when I bought a group of completely natural ones. They could be called candle quartz And they look very similar in form to spirit quartz. And like this other form, they have only been found in one location.

Tiny crystals have grown around a central point which also matches the requirements of abundance cluster. Enjoy the video.

Buy these for yourself or anyone who wants to give service to others such as those in healing and teaching professions. Also good if you want to cut ties from others. This is a higher vibrational cluster so will work to raise your consciousness in leaps and bounds.

This specimen has been reduced as there is more quartz matrix than the points only clusters. Lay it on flat or it can sit (wobbly) on one edge for a shelf.

Let the clear sugar quartz cluster – abundance encourage clarity of thought and purpose to one’s heart and mind.

Geological Information

Geological Information of Quartz

Quartz is a very common mineral in its crystal form as well as combined with other minerals (like tiger eye, aventurine, citrine..)

General Identification

• Type: Mineral
• Class: Silicates
• Category: Oxides
• Formula: SiO2 Silicon Dioxide
• Crystal System: Trigonal
• Habit: 6-sided prism ending in 6-sided pyramid (typical), drusy, fine-grained to microcrystalline, massive
• Mohs Hardness:  7, less if impurities
• Luster / Diaphaneity: Transparent to nearly opaque, Vitreous, in massive: waxy or dull.
• Colour: Colorless through various colors to black. Each colour usually has a different name like Amethyst, Rose Quartz ...

Special Notes

• Pure quartz, traditionally called rock crystal or clear quartz, is colorless and transparent or translucent
• Commonly occurs in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
  • Often found in mineral veins with metal ores.
• Often been used for hardstone carvings,
• Many additional properties occur depending on mineral inclusions, coatings, shape, facets, cluster shapes, location, unusual influences during growth and coatings.
• When contaminants are added to the process the crystals take on a yellow, red, or other tint.
• Following is a list of contaminating elements and related colour hues:
  • carbon - black
  • cobalt - green/blue
  • chromium - green/blue
  • copper - green/blue
  • iron oxides - red, pink, brown, orange and yellow
  • manganese - pink/orange
  • manganese oxides - blackish/yellow
  • titanium - pink
  • lithium - pink/purple
  • Other factors affecting colour
  • white - minute fluid inclusions of gas, liquid
  • blue - magnesio-riebeckite, dumortierite or tourmaline inclusions

Additional Information About Varieties

Tibetan/Sichuan Quartz:

• Said to be found in the three areas bordering Tibet and China actually many now from the Sechuan province.
• Often has black inclusions which may be are all magnesium or carbon.
