AuraFrequency Clear Quartz Guide: Hardness, Pricing, and Why It Matters

Clear Quartz is a highly representative, versatile, and widely cherished gem in the crystal family, often hailed as the "King of Crystals." As a of all light colors, it symbolizes balance and wholeness, making it a popular choice for daily intention-setting and mindful living. Today, we’ll explore a key aspect of Clear Quartz: its hardness, and how it influences both its durability and value—plus insights into pricing to help you choose the perfect piece for your AuraFrequency collection.

Understanding Gemstone Hardness: Why It Matters
Gemstone hardness is measured on the Mohs Scale, a standard used to evaluate a mineral’s resistance to scratching. Here’s a quick reference for common gems:

- Talc: 1 (softest)
- Gypsum: 2
- Calcite: 3
- Fluorite: 4
- Apatite: 5
- Feldspar: 6
- Quartz (including Clear Quartz): 7
- Topaz: 8
- Corundum (Ruby/Sapphire): 9
- Diamond: 10 (hardest)

For practical use, gemstones with a hardness of 7+ are ideal—they resist scratches and wear, ensuring longevity. Stones below 6, like apatite, may show damage over time with regular handling, which can affect both appearance and value.

Clear Quartz Hardness: A Durable Choice for Daily Wear

 Clear Quartz ranks 7 on the Mohs Scale, placing it in the "durable gem" category. This makes it perfect for everyday jewelry like bracelets, necklaces, or earrings—you can wear it confidently without frequent worry about scratches from daily activities. Unlike softer stones that require extra care, Clear Quartz balances beauty with resilience, making it a staple for those seeking both style and practicality in their crystal pieces.

 AuraFrequency Clear Quartz Pricing: What to Expect
Clear Quartz is widely available, but prices vary based on clarity, transparency, and inclusions(natural internal patterns like "cloudiness" or "ice cracks"). Here’s a general guide:

- Low-Grade: Heavy cloudiness, visible ice cracks, or uneven texture. Price range: 5–20.
- Mid-Grade: Partial cloudiness with minimal cracks; decent transparency in some areas. Price range: 20–80.
- High-Grade: High transparency, minimal inclusions, and consistent color/structure. Price range: 80–200+.

 Note: Prices reflect AuraFrequency’s curated selection and may fluctuate with market demand and sourcing factors.

Why AuraFrequency Clear Quartz Stands Out

At AuraFrequency, we prioritize quality and durability. Our Clear Quartz pieces are sourced from trusted regions (Brazil, Madagascar, and China’s Donghai County) to ensure they meet the 7+ Mohs hardness standard, balancing natural beauty with everyday functionality. Whether you’re drawn to a budget-friendly mid-grade bracelet or a high-transparency statement piece, each stone is selected to enhance your daily routine—no excessive maintenance required.

Final Tips for Choosing Your Clear Quartz

- Daily Wear: Opt for mid-to-high-grade Clear Quartz (7+ hardness) to avoid premature wear.
- Aesthetics: Cloudiness and ice cracks are natural! Embrace unique patterns for a one-of-a-kind piece.
- Value: High-grade stones with exceptional clarity often hold their value better over time.
