Snow Quartz Crystals Beautifully Polished
Snow quartz also known as milk or milky quartz is one of the most common varieties of quartz. It can be found in most rock types and its chemical composition is no different to other quartz varieties.
Microscopic impurities of fluids cause the stone's greyish-white colour and/or cloudy appearance.
In its purest form, quartz is colourless and transparent. Various impurities cause the crystal to change colour.
Snow quartz can often be found as phantoms within other quartz minerals, particularly colourless and translucent varieties. It's sometimes described as imperfect because some believe that its cloudy appearance spoils what would otherwise be an almost perfect crystal.
Snow quartz is a trade name for material that's cut and polished for decorative purposes. It's sometimes mistaken for white moonstone. Although the colour can be similar, it doesn't exhibit iridescence.
These highly polished snow quartz crystals are a larger-sized tumbled stone. Size can vary from piece to piece.
