Also Known As: Layered Quartz, Garden Quartz, Lodolite Quartz, Scenic Quartz, Landscape Quartz

Stunning transparent Smoky quartz with visible internal layers and patterns that appear mainly white — resembling miniature layers of the Earth - flashes of rainbow inclusions

Chemical Composition: Silicon dioxide (SiO₂) — quartz with various mineral inclusions such as chlorite, hematite, feldspar, kaolinite, or other trace minerals

Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale

Formed deep within the Earth as quartz grows over pre-existing mineral layers or inclusions. Each “layer” is created as mineral-rich fluids shift over time, leaving behind distinct mineral bands that record the Earth’s geological history.
