Description

This 3.25-inch blue quartz point is carved and polished to emphasize the stone’s soft blue coloration and natural internal texture. Subtle veils, faint color zoning, and milky translucence add depth to the quartz, while the tapered termination offers a clean geometric silhouette.

When rotated in natural light, the stone reveals shifting blue hues that range from icy pastel to deeper sky-blue shadows, creating a calm, serene visual impression.


Geological Background

Blue quartz is a variety of macrocrystalline quartz colored by minute mineral inclusions—typically amphibole fibers, crocidolite remnants, or rutile that scatter light and give the stone its soft blue tone.

It forms in silica-rich pegmatites and metamorphic environments where:

  • Quartz crystallizes slowly

  • Mineral fibers become suspended within the crystal mass

  • Gentle pressure and heat allow blue tones to develop evenly

Brazil is known for producing clean, pastel blue quartz with consistent saturation ideal for carving into polished points.

History & Cultural Context

Quartz has been carved and used in decorative and spiritual objects for thousands of years across cultures worldwide. Blue quartz, in particular, gained popularity in the 20th century as deposits with consistent blue tones became available from Brazil and parts of Africa.

Its soft color and gentle translucence make it a favored material for jewelry, carved towers, spheres, and polished points like this one.


Metaphysical Properties

Symbolically, blue quartz is often associated with:

  • Calm communication, inspired by its cool blue tones

  • Clarity and thoughtful expression, linked to quartz’s internal structure

  • Serene presence, reflected in its soft, dreamy coloration

  • Harmonious flow, tied to its smooth, polished lines


Aesthetic & Collector Evaluation

At 3.25 inches, this point is large enough to showcase its soothing blue tones while remaining easy to place on shelves, desks, and intentional décor spaces. The polished facets reveal gentle internal textures, and the clean termination provides a refined, balanced look.

Its combination of color, clarity, and form makes it a versatile addition to quartz collections or modern home décor.


Care & Handling

Wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Store away from harder minerals to preserve the polish.
