Crackle Quartz is a form of quartz crystal that has been intentionally heat-treated to create a unique, eye-catching appearance. Natural quartz is first subjected to high temperatures and then rapidly cooled, causing it to develop a network of internal fractures. These tiny cracks scatter light within the stone, giving it a sparkling, "shattered glass" effect.

Often, the fractured quartz is enhanced by adding vibrant dyes, resulting in dazzling colors that highlight its crackled texture. Typically transparent to translucent, Crackle Quartz is especially popular in jewelry, decorative pieces, and metaphysical practices for its striking visual appeal.

Crackle Quartz is created through a specialized heat treatment process where natural quartz is heated to extreme temperatures and then rapidly cooled, resulting in a distinctive internal fracture pattern. These fractures are often infused with dyes or minerals to produce vibrant colors like blue, green, and pink. While maintaining quartz's durability with a Mohs hardness of 7, its intricate webbing gives it a unique, shimmering appearance. Please note that its fractured nature makes it more delicate than untreated quartz. A popular choice for jewelry and decorative pieces seeking bold color and unique texture.
