This pendant sets a single hazy, softly pink-tinted quartz point in a sterling silver frame — its cloudy, gentle appearance sets it apart from clear quartz.

Meaning & history
In crystal tradition, lithium quartz is associated with calm, emotional balance, and a soothing, steady energy — many people keep it close during stressful periods or busy stretches. It combines the amplifying nature often attributed to quartz with a gentler, softer feel, and pairs well with our balance and wellness pieces.
How to wear it
Wear the pendant daily as a quiet, grounding layer, or reach for it specifically on days that call for extra calm. Its sterling silver setting makes it easy to dress up or down.
Care & cleansing
Wipe the pendant with a soft, dry cloth after wear to prevent tarnish on the sterling silver, and store it away from moisture when not in use. Avoid prolonged water exposure and harsh chemicals like chlorine or perfume. To cleanse the stone's energy in tradition, rest it near moonlight or pass it through incense smoke.
