Rhinestone Handstones from Madagascar
Rock crystal
Rock crystal is the colourless, transparent variety of quartz and consists of pure silica. It crystallises in the trigonal crystal system and often forms well-developed six-sided prisms with a pointed tip. Due to its clarity and glassy luster, rock crystal is one of the best-known and most widely used quartz varieties.
The mineral occurs worldwide, with important deposits in Brazil, Madagascar, Switzerland and the United States, among others. Rock crystal occurs in hydrothermal veins, pegmatites and metamorphic rocks. Its chemical formula is SiOâ‚‚ and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale. Well-known varieties of quartz such as rose quartz, amethyst and smoky quartz differ from rock crystal by their colour-causing inclusions or radiative influences.

Hand stones
Hand stones are our largest, tumbled and smoothly polished (precious) stones that often sit very well in the hand, which immediately explains the name. Drummed, this size is also called a palm stone or jumbo stone. Often these stones are extra polished or ground after tumbling for a beautiful end result. Despite this consistency, it remains a natural product, so variations in shape, colour and pattern can always occur. This can vary from one type of stone to another.
Generally, handstones have a size between 4 × 3 × 2 cm and 6 × 5 × 3 cm. Almost all our handstones come from Madagascar, where they are carefully selected and processed. The product photos give a good impression of what to expect. Hand stones are sold per 100 gr (1x), with a minimum order of 500 gr (5x).
