Clear Quartz Sphere from Madagascar – Premium Polished Crystal

This beautifully polished Clear Quartz Sphere originates from Madagascar, a location renowned for producing some of the world’s highest-quality quartz. Clear Quartz is celebrated for its optical purity, natural clarity, and striking internal structures, making it highly sought after by collectors, crystal enthusiasts, and interior decorators alike.

You will receive the exact sphere shown in the photographs. A 1 cm scale cube is included to provide an accurate sense of size, with full measurements clearly visible in the images. Each sphere is carefully selected for clarity, character, and aesthetic appeal.

Although Quartz is a mineral rather than a fossil, all of our specimens are 100% genuine and every purchase includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

Geological Background – Quartz Formation in Madagascar

Madagascar is one of the world’s most important sources of high-grade quartz. The geological environment of the island includes ancient metamorphic terrains, granitic intrusions, and hydrothermal systems where silica-rich fluids have crystallised slowly over millions of years to form large, clear quartz deposits.

Clear Quartz (SiO₂), also known as rock crystal, typically forms in hydrothermal veins, pegmatites, and geodes, where mineral-rich water deposits layers of silica that slowly crystallise into transparent hexagonal structures. Over time, tectonic processes and erosion expose these crystals, which are then mined, shaped, and polished into spheres such as this one.

The natural clarity and internal landscapes within Madagascan Quartz are especially prized. Many spheres contain subtle inclusions, veils, or internal fractures known as “fairy frost,” giving each piece a unique character.

Characteristics & Visual Features of Clear Quartz

Clear Quartz is appreciated for its:

• High transparency and water-clear appearance
• Beautiful internal structures, including rainbows, veils, and phantoms
• Smooth, polished finish enhancing clarity and optical depth
• Durability as a mineral, ranking 7 on the Mohs hardness scale
• Hexagonal crystal system, which contributes to its natural symmetry and aesthetic appeal

When shaped into a sphere, Clear Quartz distributes light evenly, creating bright reflections and a luminous, glass-like quality. This makes it ideal as a display piece, meditation tool, or decorative accent in any setting.

Cultural, Decorative & Collecting Appeal

Throughout history, Clear Quartz has been treasured by many cultures. It has been used in carvings, tools, jewellery, and symbolic artefacts dating back thousands of years. Today, it remains one of the most widely appreciated minerals due to its beauty, durability, and versatility.

Quartz spheres are particularly valued for their ability to highlight the mineral’s internal features from every angle. Collectors appreciate them for their aesthetic purity, while interior stylists favour them for their clean, elegant presence in both modern and traditional décor.

This Madagascan sphere is ideal for:

• Crystal collectors
