Where it belongs
Quartz is the most forgiving of objects — it belongs on a windowsill, an entry table, a writing desk. Clear and quiet, it holds light without asking for attention.
Formation
How it came to be
It grows in silica-rich hydrothermal veins and pockets, crystallising slowly from mineral-laden water within the host rock.
Quartz is silicon dioxide, the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust — and yet a clean, well-terminated point remains a small marvel of natural order.
The pegmatites and veins of Minas Gerais, Brazil, are among the world's great sources of clear quartz points with glassy terminations.
Each point ends in a hexagonal termination — six faces meeting at an apex — the outward sign of quartz's underlying trigonal symmetry.
The Object
We choose points with clean terminations, good clarity through the body, and a naturally frosted base that grounds the piece when it stands.
Closer In
Inside, faint veils and phantoms record pauses in the crystal's growth — moments, held in glass, when the water that fed it changed.
