The geological conditions in these regions provide ideal conditions for the formation of strawberry crystals, allowing the stone to crystallize slowly deep underground and eventually become the beauty we see before us.

Formation Process
Strawberry Quartzs are formed deep in the earth's crust under high temperature and pressure. Its internal red inclusions are mainly composed of small ore inclusions of iron, manganese and other elements, which are sealed in the quartz crystallization process, forming the characteristic red spots or red spots of strawberry crystals.
