Persephone's Garden

This gorgeous Garden Quartz with hematite and chlorite inclusions is capped in  sterling silver and swings off a buried band. 

Garden Quartz, also known as Lodolite or Inclusion Quartz, is a variety of quartz that contains mineral inclusions, most notably hematite and chlorite, which often resemble ethereal underwater scenes, lush gardens, or alien terrain. Each stone is a tiny world unto itself, a unique and unrepeatable formation crafted by the Earth over millions of years.

The hematite inclusions add a touch of deep red, brown, or rusty orange hues - bringing grounding, protective energy, and a strong connection to the root chakra. Chlorite, often seen in soft green plumes or moss-like formations, is known for its powerful cleansing and healing properties, making it a favorite among energy workers and collectors alike.

This crystal is not just beautiful; it’s thought to be deeply spiritual - used in meditation and journey work to access higher states of consciousness, connect with nature spirits, and explore inner landscapes. The serene beauty of Garden Quartz invites stillness, reflection, and inner growth.

This is a rare piece for me, both in the type of stone and the type of work it took - soldering it was quite hard and won't be something I do that often.
