Moroccan Sahara White Quartz - prices from
-
White quartz: Stunning, crystal-filled geodes, often appearing as dull rocks until opened, revealing sparkling white quartz (silica) crystals inside, formed over millennia from volcanic gas bubbles and mineral-rich water.
-
Origin: Mined in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains, often from the Western Sahara region.
-
Formation: Formed in volcanic rock cavities (gas bubbles in basalt) where silica-rich water deposited quartz crystals over millions of years.
-
Appearance: Appear as plain, dusty pebbles when closed but reveal hollow interiors lined with clear, glossy quartz points.
-
Composition: Primarily silica, sometimes mixed with other minerals like calcite or aragonite in desert geodes, leading to variations in hardness and luster.
-
Metaphysical: Believed to enhance energy, bring harmony, boost manifestation, and release negative energy in healing practices.
-
Scientific: The crystal structure of clear quartz can store and transmit energy, making them interesting subjects for study.
