Smooth, tumbled milky quartz stones in a soft, veiled milky white, in a larger approx. 4–7 cm size – lovely as a palm stone, decoration or collector’s piece.
The stone of milky quartz
Milky quartz is the milky-white variety of quartz, its veiled look created by countless tiny fluid and gas inclusions within the crystal; its Mohs hardness is around 7. In crystal lore it is called the ‘White Wisdom Quartz’, seen by many as a stone fitting for today’s information-rich age – tradition links it with empathy, growth, confidence and nurture.
The tumbled form and A quality
Tumbled stones gain their smooth surface through long polishing, which brings out milky quartz’s soft white. Larger A-quality pieces show a fine, even veil; as a natural mineral, the haze can differ, and every stone is unique.
Ways to use it
Milky quartz is a favourite palm stone and meditation piece; its soft white suits a clean shelf, desk or crystal corner. Its gentle, homely look also makes it a tender gift.
Care and good to know
This is a durable mineral, yet it is worth protecting from knocks and scratches. Rinse under lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
