Collection: Rough Crystals

Rough crystals, also known as raw or unpolished crystals, are natural gemstones or minerals that have been mined and left in their original, uncut, and unpolished state. Their appearance reflects their organic origins, and each piece is uniquely shaped and textured. Here's a description of rough crystals:

Appearance

  • Shape: Irregular and often asymmetrical, showcasing their natural formation. They may appear jagged, clustered, or geometric, depending on the crystal type.
  • Texture: Uneven and coarse to the touch, with ridges, grooves, or sharp edges. Some may have a chalky or matte finish, while others might display small glimmering facets.
  • Colour: Usually muted compared to polished stones, though vibrant hues are still present. Colour variations and inclusions are common, adding to their character.

Features

  • Natural Layers and Growth Patterns: These often reveal the crystal’s history and formation process. You might see striations, cracks, or points that tell the story of the crystal's growth.
  • Inclusions: Visible impurities, air bubbles, or mineral streaks inside the crystal are typical and enhance its natural beauty.
  • Raw Energy: Many believe that rough crystals hold a more intense and unfiltered energy, as they haven’t been altered by cutting or polishing processes.
