Crackle quartz

What is Crackle Quartz?

Crackle Quartz is quartz that has been subjected to a thermal shock process, causing it to crack. The quartz is heated to a high temperature and then rapidly cooled, which creates a network of fine cracks throughout the stone. These cracks can be enhanced by adding color or other treatments.
