Ruby Quartz Matrix Crystal PalmStone VG397

Material: Ruby Quartz Matrix
Product Type: Palm Stone
Quantity: Set of 7–10 Palm Stones

1. Origin

Ruby quartz matrix is a natural stone in which ruby (corundum) is intergrown with a quartz matrix. Notable sources include India, Madagascar, Mozambique and Brazil. This item is a palm stone, supplied per the product page as a set of 7 to 10 pieces.

2. History

The red variety of corundum has been treasured as ruby since ancient times. Lower-grade ruby-bearing material in a quartz matrix has more recently been used as a decorative stone, valued for its natural red-and-white (or red-and-grey) contrast.

3. Usage

The product page notes that each palm stone is shaped for daily comfort, suiting collecting, meditation and energy work. Although quartz is hard, the stone contains corundum crystals within a matrix, so strong impacts that could cause cracking should be avoided and a soft cloth used for cleaning.

4. Function

The product page describes the stone as combining the grounding stability of quartz with the fiery, transformative essence of ruby, helping users align emotional, spiritual and physical energies. Practically, the palm stone serves for hand-held calming, decoration and display, and it also works as a statement piece or retail product.
