This is an old stock and beautiful strawberry quartz, 8.11 grams and 1.2” by 0.8" by 0.5”. This is the only one I have and had been stashed away for maybe 15+ years. The color is gorgeous (pictures don’t do the crystal justice) with the lepidocrosite concentrated in the termination and fading to the base. There are keys all around and she has a warm, almost waxy feel. This is a TRUE strawberry quartz and NOT the harlequin quartz that have been called strawberry because of a lot of lepidocrosite but no pink coloring. The strawberry color is throughout although very pale at the base because of the thinness there. With a loupe, you can see the individual inclusions of lepidocrosite. And if you look closely, she is the palest of amethyst at the base! You will be well-pleased with this very, very rare crystal~
