Visual character
Pink to reddish quartz with a softly speckled, clouded, or inclusion-rich appearance. Color may look evenly washed in one bead and more granular or patchy in another.
From raw to bead
Rough strawberry quartz can look opaque or uneven where surfaces scatter light. Bead polishing smooths those surfaces and can make pink color, tiny inclusions, and translucent zones more visible.
Origin & geology
Strawberry quartz is a commercial name used for pink to reddish quartz with visible inclusions or coloration. The name does not identify one universally fixed mineral inclusion or geological origin, so this record describes it at the commercial-material level.

Care & wear
Quartz materials are reasonably scratch-resistant but can still chip from a hard impact or crack with rapid temperature change. Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; for a finished Veil Loom bracelet, follow the care needs of the complete composition.
Curator note
Strawberry quartz feels gently animated. It works well in bracelets that want warmth with a little more surface character.
