Quartz when used in jewellery and for decoration is known by many names such as Clear Quartz, Rock Quartz, Rock Crystal Quartz, Crystal Quartz and Clear Crystal Quartz*. If the white quartz is opaque it is often referred to as Milky Quartz. *For clarity we use the term Clear Crystal Quartz when describing transparent to white quartz jewellery.

History

Quartz is one of the oldest gemstones to catch the human eye. It has been used for practical, spiritual, aesthetic, and scientific purposes since mankind’s earliest civilizations until modern day. In ancient Australian Aboriginal culture, Quartz is described as a “magical” material. Pre-historic tools made of Quartz can be seen in museums around the world. We can find it in ancient burial sites in Europe.

Naturalists and Alchemists have been mesmerized by Quartz for thousands of years. Their observations led the old Romans to believe that Quartz was not a gemstone but ice frozen for a prolonged period of time. This notion lasted until the Scientific Revolution in the late 16th and 17th centuries. Scientific experiments on Quartz lay the foundation for crystallography and discovered unique electronic properties of the crystal. This made Quartz to be highly sought after in modern industry. In the mid-19th century, the first synthetic Quartz was made for the needs of the industry. Today all Quartz used for industrial purposes is synthetic and one of the pillars of modern electronics.
