{"product_id":"quartz-freeform","title":"Quartz freeform","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis quartz freeform is a beautifully sculpted piece that showcases the natural complexity of crystal formation through its soft internal inclusions, subtle tonal shifts, and flashes of rainbow light. With its gentle clarity and fluid internal landscape, this specimen offers depth and visual intrigue from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarefully shaped into a polished freeform, this piece retains an organic, asymmetrical silhouette while allowing light to travel through the crystal in dynamic ways. The angled faces enhance reflections within, drawing attention to the internal textures and delicate inclusions suspended inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoft, mist-like inclusions can be seen drifting through the body of the quartz, creating a clouded, almost ethereal effect. These natural formations give the piece a sense of movement and individuality, making it entirely one of a kind. As light interacts with internal fractures, subtle rainbow refractions appear, adding moments of colour that shift depending on the viewing angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe overall tone remains clear with gentle hints of warmth, ranging from near-transparent areas to softly diffused zones where inclusions are more concentrated.

These inclusions create the soft, misty appearance visible within the stone and contribute to its unique internal landscape.\u003cbr\u003eRainbow refractions occur when light passes through internal fractures and inclusions, dispersing into spectral colours. These flashes are entirely natural and vary depending on lighting and angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClarity varies throughout the piece, with clearer sections allowing deeper visibility into the crystal and more included areas adding texture and dimension. These natural variations provide insight into the crystal’s formation conditions and history.\u003cbr\u003eThe freeform shape enhances how light interacts with the crystal, with angled surfaces reflecting and refracting light in different directions, making the internal features more prominent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMineral: Quartz\u003cbr\u003eFormula: SiO₂\u003cbr\u003eColour: Clear → slightly warm tones\u003cbr\u003eCause of Colour: Natural inclusions and trace elements\u003cbr\u003eLustre: Vitreous (glassy)\u003cbr\u003eTransparency: Transparent → translucent\u003cbr\u003eStreak: White\u003cbr\u003eHardness: 7 (Mohs)\u003cbr\u003eFracture: Conchoidal\u003cbr\u003eCleavage: None\u003cbr\u003eDensity: ~2.65\u003cbr\u003eCrystal System: Trigonal\u003cbr\u003eHabit: Hexagonal prisms (natural form)\u003cbr\u003eFormation: Igneous rocks \u0026amp; hydrothermal veins\u003cbr\u003eCommon Locations: Brazil, Madagascar, USA, China\u003cbr\u003eOptical:\u003cbr\u003eRefractive Index: ~1.54–1.55\u003cbr\u003eExtras:\u003cbr\u003eEach piece is unique due to natural inclusions\u003cbr\u003eFreeforms are shaped to enhance internal features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eSmooth polished surface\u003cbr\u003eVisible natural inclusions throughout\u003cbr\u003eInternal fractures present\u003cbr\u003eRainbow refractions visible under light\u003cbr\u003eMinor natural surface and internal features consistent with quartz\u003cbr\u003eNo dyeing or artificial enhancement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCare Instructions\u003cbr\u003eHandle with care to avoid scratches or chips\u003cbr\u003eClean gently with a soft cloth or mild water\u003cbr\u003eAvoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight\u003cbr\u003eKeep away from harsh chemicals\u003cbr\u003eStore separately to maintain surface quality\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Ballerz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53683584401749,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1039\/9295\/1125\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_26348115-94bd-45b9-8793-b3c4d0a73f37.jpg?v=1776371528","url":"https:\/\/crystalballerz.co.uk\/products\/quartz-freeform","provider":"Crystal Ballerz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
