Light, but not full sun

The faces take the light one at a time, so a point on a shelf changes through the day. Keep it out of direct sun though: amethyst and rose quartz both fade.

Named, treatment and all

Undyed is written undyed. Where the colour comes from a metal coating, the page says so, because that is the part nobody else tells you.

No two points alike

Banding, colour zoning, a tip a degree off centre. That unevenness is what tells you it is stone and not resin, and it is why yours is yours.

Frequently asked questions

Where is a rose quartz point usually kept?

Wherever you will see it - a shelf, a desk, a windowsill. Placement conventions vary by tradition and none of them are ours to prescribe.

Is rose quartz naturally this colour?

Yes. The pink comes from trace elements in the quartz, and it varies from nearly white to a deeper rose from piece to piece.

Will the colour fade?

In strong direct sunlight, over years, it can. A windowsill in full sun is the one placement worth avoiding.

How should it be cleaned?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it. Nothing else is needed, and household cleaners can dull a polished face.

Cut from rough, not grown

A tower starts as a block of rough stone. It is sawn to a rough shape, ground to its faces, then polished by hand through finer and finer grits. The faces are never perfectly equal and the point is rarely perfectly centred - that unevenness is what tells you it is stone and not resin.

What the colour is telling you

Some of these stones are exactly what they look like. Others are quartz with a metal coating applied under heat, which is where the iridescent blues and violets come from. Neither is a lesser stone, but only one of them is a natural colour, and we say which is which on every listing.
