Enhydro Quartz

Q: What is Enhydro Quartz made of?

Enhydro Quartz has the chemical formula SiO₂ with fluid inclusions, crystallises in the trigonal system and measures 7 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. An enhydro is a quartz crystal that trapped a bubble of ancient fluid — usually a mix of water, gas and dissolved minerals — during its growth. The bubble moves visibly when the crystal is tilted. Enhydros are prized by fluid-inclusion researchers because the trapped liquid preserves a small sample of the hydrothermal environment in which the crystal formed.

I. The Metaphysical Reading

How the stone has been held.

Enhydro Quartz is worked with as a stone of preserved feeling, kept nearby during memorial work, ancestral remembrance and the writing of things one does not want to lose. Practitioners hold it as a reminder that some water was never meant to evaporate.
