Lavender Moon Quartz 8 x Oval Faceted Stone

This oval lavender moon quartz features a luminous, pale-purple color and light-catching facets that enhance any style of jewelry. Set it in a simple mounting to make a pendant or combine it with complementary-color gemstones to create complex necklace designs as well as matching sets, including earrings and bracelets. One of the most common minerals, quartz comes in many varieties and colors. The two main categories are macrocrystalline, which are usually transparent and crystals are visible, and cryptocrystalline, which appear translucent or opaque. The many varieties of quartz each offer distinct characteristics and, according to folklore, their own powers and purposes. The oval cut is an even, symmetrical shape but elongated. The arrangement of its facets is similar to that of a round brilliant, designed to maximize light and color.
