Supply Chain for Girasol Quartz

This Girasol Quartz comes from artisanal miners in Namibia. Artisanal mining for Quartz typically has a low environmental impact and is relatively low risk for miners.

This lapidary drum tumbles stones in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a family business, founded by a father and passed on to his sons. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at two gemshows, one in the United States and the other in France.

I have been doing business with this source since 2014. They are the oldest tumbling company in the world and have more varieties, in more sizes, than any other known source. The company started in California in the 1950s and was eventually bought by a British immigrant who had young sons. Eventually the company moved to South Africa in order to be closer to the source of their best-selling stone and to have the legal rights to export it. The company is now run by the sons and their childhood best friend.

The current owners personally visit many small and large mines. To connect with artisanal miners in sub-Sahara Africa, they work with local Gem Dealers who travel far into the bush to buy from part-time miners. The majority of these Gem Dealers are women. Some, but not all, of their stones are labeled with country-of-origin. For those that aren’t, I ask the owners directly. As I’ve learned more about mining practices in individual countries, I have become increasingly selective about what I will purchase from them. However, they remain my preferred source for most of the stones I sell from sub-Sahara Africa.

Girasol Quartz Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Girasol Quartz, also known as “Milky Quartz” is a variety of Clear Quartz.  It can be found wherever Quartz grows, but most of the Girasol on the market comes from Madagascar and South Africa.  It is colorless, translucent, and has a subtle opalescence, sometimes appearing to have a pale orange hue from certain angles.  This effect is due to microscopic air and water bubbles trapped within the Quartz.  These bubbles show bring colors when in Rainbow Obsidian or in manmade Opalite, but in Girasol the affect is discrete.  Energetically it is very similar to Clear Quartz, but the energy is a little bit softer, like filtered light […]
