Mineralogie & Entstehung

Blue quartz is a variety of quartz (SiO₂), whose blue color is created by finely distributed inclusions of dumortierite, crocidolite, or tourmaline. It crystallizes like all quartz in the trigonal system. Unlike chalcedony, blue quartz is macrocrystalline and exhibits the typical quartz luster. Locations include Brazil, South Africa, Austria, and Spain.

Pflege & Reinigung

With a Mohs hardness of 7, blue quartz is robust and suitable for everyday use. It can be cleaned under running water and charged in the sun or on a rock crystal cluster. It is resistant to most everyday chemicals but should not be exposed to chemicals or extreme heat for prolonged periods.

Verwechslungsgefahren & Qualität

Blue quartz can be confused with sodalite, blue chalcedony, or dumortierite. Sodalite is more opaque and often shows white veins. Chalcedony is finer and has a waxy luster. Dumortierite is darker blue and significantly rarer. Occasionally, dyed quartz is sold as blue quartz – natural blue quartz displays a more delicate, milky blue color.
