Gemstone: Enhydro Quartz

Enhydro quartz is the ultimate aquatic gemstone: each cut contains floating bubbles of water within its crystalline silhoutte. Enhydro is taken from the Greek word meaning 'as water within'—a particularly fitting name for a unique quartz that evokes effervescence and tranquility. 
MOHs Hardness: 7. 
Origins: China
Care: Keep temperate—excessive heat will evaporate the water, and low temperatures will freeze the water and crack the stone. To clean your enhydro quartz piece, use warm water with mild soap and a soft toothbrush or cloth. Do not use a steam cleaner or ultrasonic cleaner. 
Healing Properties: Balancing, amplifying, clearing, and emotionally healing.
