These are A-grade Chlorite Quartz raw crystal points from Mashonaland Central, Zimbabwe, sold by the piece or by the pound. Green chlorite was sealed inside the growing quartz, so the color sits inside the crystal, not on it. Each point runs 1 to 1.50 inches and 10 to 20 grams at Mohs 7. Fully natural and untreated. A favorite cleansing stone for altars.
Chlorite quartz is quartz that grew with green chlorite sealed inside it. At this size the inclusions are dense enough that most points read as solid green rather than clear crystal with a green wisp, and some carry phantoms, ghostly outlines of an earlier stage of growth.
Hand-selected from Mashonaland Central, Zimbabwe.
Chlorite quartz has long been used in practices around cleansing, gentle renewal, and steadying yourself after a hard stretch. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. Larger points like these are often set at the center of a grid or kept somewhere you pass by often. There's no single right way to work with it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Chlorite Quartz sits at 7 on the Mohs scale, harder than a steel blade, so it handles daily carry and a quick rinse without fuss. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
Natural chlorite quartz from Mashonaland Central, Zimbabwe. Untreated. The green is chlorite mineral trapped inside the quartz as it grew, not a dye or a surface coating.
You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 1 to 1.5 inches on its longest side and weighs 10 to 20 grams. About 24 to 40 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
This lot is from Mashonaland Central, Zimbabwe. It came to us through an artisan network, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. A on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradePurchased through a known network of individual artisans or family mining teams. Each piece traces back to a named producer or workshop. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
