LAB QUARTZ
THIS QUARTZ IS A PRODUCT OF "LAB HYDROTHERMAL CONDITIONS". THIS MEANS THAT THEY ARE CULTURED OR MAN MADE (SYNTHETIC) QUARTZ. QUARTZ MINED FROM THE EARTH AND QUARTZ MADE IN THE LAB ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CHEMICALLY AND AS FAR AS THEIR PROPERTIES GO. IN THE LAB, QUARTZ IS MADE MUCH LIKE CHILDREN MAKE SALT CRYSTALS. THAT IS, A HOT SOLUTION OF SALT IS DISSOLVED IN HOT WATER THEN ALLOWED TO SLOWLY COOL. HOT WATER IS ABLE TO KEEP MORE SALT IN SOLUTION THAN COLD WATER. AS THE SOLUTION COOLS, CRYSTALS ARE FORMED IN SHAPES CHARACTERISTIC FOR SALT. IN THE CASE OF QUARTZ, THE CHEMICALS WHICH FORM QUARTZ ARE SUSPENDED IN A HOT SOLUTION AND THEN COOLED UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. THIS CULTURED OR MAN-MADE QUARTZ IS FOR THE MOST PART IDENTICAL TO QUARTZ FOUND IN NATURE EXCEPT THAT BECAUSE IT IS GROWN IN THE LAB UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS, THESE STONES USUALLY HAVE FEWER IMPERFECTIONS THAN STONES FOUND IN NATURE. ALSO, POSSESSION OF THESE STONES DOES NOT RESULT FROM STRIPPING OF LAND TO MINE, AND NOT CONNECTED WITH ABUSE OF MINERS LIKE NATURAL QUARTZ OFTEN MINED IN AFRICA. NATURAL QUARTZ ARE MODERATELY VALUABLE AND HOLD THEIR VALUE. FOR EXAMPLE, QUARTZ IN SIZES SOLD ON THIS SITE CAN COST HUNDREDS PER CARAT AND MORE, WHEREAS I CAN GENERALLY OBTAIN CULTURED QUARTZ FOR DOLLARS PER CARAT. I USE BIG BEAUTIFUL GEMSTONES IN MY JEWELRY AND LOVE BEING ABLE TO HAVE THE BEAUTY OF QUARTZ WITHOUT THE COST. AS AN INVESTMENT, NATURAL QUARTZ IS THE BEST BET. OFTEN WHOLE SELLERS WILL CLAIM THAT SYNTHETIC STONES ARE FROM A PARTICULAR COUNTRY WHICH IS FAMOUS FOR NATURAL STONES. EVEN IF THESE STONES WERE MADE IN A PARTICULAR COUNTRY, THE LOCATION OF WHERE THE STONE WAS MADE IS NOT ONLY IRRELEVANT, IT IS MISLEADING AS IT TENDS TO GIVE PEOPLE THE IMPRESSION THE STONE IS NATURAL AND THUS WORTH MORE.
