About this specific piece
Garden quartz — also called lodolite — is distinguished by its internal landscapes: inclusions of secondary minerals visible through the transparent quartz. In this piece, iron oxide creates coppery, ochre, and brown areas that float within the crystal like suspended sediments. No two garden quartz points reproduce the same landscape.
The copper bail was constructed by electroforming and incorporates real mini leaf motifs — a detail that requires additional preparation before immersion in the electrodeposition solution. At the top, a natural citrine in a trillion cut adds a warm spot of color. The entire process, from preparation to the final copper thickness, can exceed 24 hours of continuous work.
Garden Quartz in Lapidary Tradition
The term "lodolite" comes from the Latin lodus (sediment), although the most common name in jewelry is "garden quartz" due to the plant-like landscape appearance of its inclusions. Inclusions can be chlorite (green tones), iron oxide (ochre and red), or limonite (yellows), depending on the geological environment of the deposit. Garden quartz primarily comes from Minas Gerais (Brazil) and is highly valued in contemporary gemology for the uniqueness of its internal patterns. In crystal tradition, it is associated with deep meditation and connection to natural cycles.
The symbolic properties attributed to minerals belong to cultural and historical traditions. They are shared for educational purposes, not as medical advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is garden quartz or lodolite?
It is transparent quartz with inclusions of secondary minerals — chlorite, iron oxide, limonite — that create visible color landscapes inside the crystal. The pattern is unique in each piece and cannot be reproduced.
Is the trillion citrine at the top natural?
