Strawberry Quartz Mushroom Shaped Head Crystal Pendant

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this pendant: Strawberry Quartz Mushroom Shaped Head Crystal Pendant (shop SKU A3731).

Strawberry quartz is a trade name for pink quartz or quartz with reddish inclusions that give a berry-like color. In crystal traditions, it is often grouped with other pink quartzes and associated with affection and warmth. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Because the material is natural, its color and pattern vary from piece to piece. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
