The popularity of quartz gems like amethyst, citrine, ametrine, rose quartz, smoky quartz, onyx, agates, chrysoprase, rutilated quartz and other varieties is always increasing. The incredible variety of quartz and its affordable price is now beginning to be appreciated in its own right as a genuine semi-precious stone.

Pure quartz, traditionally called rock crystal (sometimes called clear quartz), is colorless and transparent (clear) or translucent, and has often been used for hardstone carvings, such as the Lothair Crystal. It goes by an array of different names. Quartz is an essential constituent of granite and other felsic igneous rocks. It is very common in sedimentary rocks such as sandstone and shale and is also present in variable amounts as an accessory mineral in most carbonate rocks. It is also a common constituent of schist, gneiss, quartzite and other metamorphic rocks.
