These are A-grade Chlorite Quartz raw crystal points from Mashonaland Central, Zimbabwe, sold by the piece or by the pound. Clear quartz grew around green chlorite, so the color sits inside the crystal, not on it. Each point runs 0.50 to 1 inch and 2 to 10 grams at Mohs 7. Fully natural and untreated. A favorite cleansing stone for meditation spaces.
Chlorite quartz is clear or smoky quartz with green chlorite inclusions that look like moss or tiny landscapes trapped inside the crystal. Sometimes the chlorite forms phantoms, ghostly outlines of older crystal growth.
Hand-selected from Mashonaland Central, Zimbabwe.
Chlorite quartz has long been used in practices around gentle, patient care for yourself, cleansing, and a simple anchor during practice. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, keep it nearby during quiet moments or by the bed for rest. There's no single right way to carry 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.

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.
