Strawberry Quartz ,Pearls & Citrine Bracelet

Strawberry Quartz is a captivating and rare variety of quartz that features a soft pink to reddish hue with flecks or inclusions that resemble sparkling strawberry seeds. Known for its gentle yet uplifting energy, this stone is cherished for its beauty and metaphysical properties, often associated with love, joy, and emotional healing.

 Strawberry quartz ranges from light pink to deep reddish pink. Its unique sparkle is due to inclusions of iron oxide or hematite within the quartz. Typically translucent to transparent, with visible inclusions adding depth and character. It has a vitreous (glass-like) luster, enhancing its radiant appearance. Commonly found as tumbled stones, beads, cabochons, and polished points, making it popular for jewelry and decor.

Strawberry quartz is found in limited quantities in certain regions, including Mexico, Russia, Kazakhstan, Madagascar and Brazil.

Freshwater Pearls are natural gems created within freshwater mollusks, primarily mussels, as opposed to saltwater pearls, which are produced in oysters. They are known for their iridescent sheen, unique shapes, and variety of colors. Freshwater pearls have gained immense popularity due to their beauty, accessibility, and relatively affordable price compared to their saltwater counterparts.

Freshwater pearls are often more irregular in shape compared to round saltwater pearls. While many are oval, baroque (irregular), or semi-round, they can also come in near-perfect round shapes. Freshwater pearls come in a variety of natural colors, including white, cream, lavender, pink, peach, and even deeper hues like purple or mauve. The color can vary depending on the type of mussel and the environment in which it was grown. Known for their soft, reflective luster, freshwater pearls have a lovely, subtle shine, though they are typically not as shiny as saltwater pearls like Akoya pearls. The size of freshwater pearls can range from small (about 2mm) to larger (up to 15mm or more), with the most common size being around 6-9mm.

Freshwater pearls are mostly harvested in lakes, rivers, and ponds in regions like China, United States.  Countries like India, Thailand, and Brazil also produce freshwater pearls.
