Zest for life
Not surprisingly, lemon quartz’ bright and cheerful shades are believed to bring vitality and joy to those who wear them. Its sparkling energy is also associated with self-confidence and clarity of mind which is said to attract success and financial abundance. Set in shades of delicate rose or bright yellow gold, lemon quartz jewels ooze with positivity and joie de vivre.
A bright and resilient stone
Like all members of the quartz family, lemon quartz is a hard-wearing stone able to withstand extremely high temperatures. Therefore, it lends itself well to heat treatment to enhance its natural shades. On the Mohs scale it has a hardness of 7.
Quartz is also ‘doubly refractive’, meaning it can split a ray of light in two directions, thereby increasing its visual depth and brilliance. Brightness and durability make lemon quartz a popular choice for everyday jewelry wear.
Origin
Today, the largest deposits of lemon quartz are found in Brazil whose climate and geological conditions are particularly favorable to its formation.
