Que Sera is a tradename for a beautiful polka-dot blue and pink metamorphic rock. Because it has a high quartz content, it takes a bright shine when polished. Que Sera isa mixture of pink and blue feldspar minerals in a brown matrix that includes Calcite, Chlorite, Magnetite and other trace minerals. It has an exceptionally cheerful energy, that helps us stay in the present moment and not give into worries. It reminds us that what will be, will be, and that when it comes we’ll figure it out and be just fine.

Geology of Que Sera
Where does Que Sera come from?
Que Sera is a type of metamorphic rock found only in Brazil. The original type location is near Juazeiro, in Bahia, Brazil. It is sometimes confused with a similar-looking blue-spotted Rhyolite found in Texas.
Mining and Treatments
Typically mined from the primary deposits still having their original relationship with the host rock.
All Que Sera are natural, enhanced only by cutting and polishing.

Mineral Family
Que Sera is a type of metamorphic rock. As an easy way to understand the difference, think of rocks as being like cookies and minerals as being the ingredients which make up those cookies. Many different minerals are used to create a rock! Because this metamorphic rock has a high silica content it can take a high shine when polished. Que Sera’s distinctive pink and blue spots are both plagioclase feldspar minerals, a category which includes Moonstone, Sunstone, and Labradorite. They are in a brown-black matrix rock that includes numerous other minerals such as Calcite, Chlorite, Clinozoisite, Kaolinite, Leucozene, Magnetite and other trace minerals.
Que Sera’s energy works well with its family – other metamorphic rocks. Try it in combination with Atlantisite, Buddstone, Cinabrite, Impactite, Nuummite, Picasso Marble, Scheelite Lace, Tiffany Stone, and Unakite
Que Sera Formation and Crystal Associates
Que Sera is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created when an existing Igneous or Sedimentary rock (or potentially another type of Metamorphic rock!) is subjected to new pressures and high temperatures. This causes the atoms and molecules to rearrange themselves into new minerals while still in a hard solid state. In the case of Que Sera, the original rock was igneous and most likely included Clear Quartz. The blue spots is a felspar mineral, which belongs to the Quartz family. When viewed with a microscope the blue spots are actually colorless and display all the optical characteristics of Quartz.

History of Que Sera
Que Sera is a tradename for a beautiful spotted metamorphic rock from Brazil. The stone was first described by Melody in Love is in the Earth: The Crystal & Mineral Encyclopedia — The LIITE Fantastic, The Last Testament (2008). She described it as a Brazilian conglomerate stone with pink and blue spots in a dark brown matrix. The blue spots stood out the most to her, both as a mineralogist and a crystal intuitive. The blue spots were round and opalescent, yet when viewed under a microscope the blue spots were completely colorless. She named it Que Sera, a name which is both scientific and poetic in origin.
Scientifically, the Que is an acronym for “Quartz with Undulatory Extinction.” Undulatory extinction is a geological term for a type of mineral identification in which cross-polarized light is viewed through a thin section of a mineral in a petrographic microscope. Metallic minerals and glass do not allow the light to shine through, instead the thin sheet of mineral appears solid black. By contrast, quartz and feldspar has a mottled appearance, with some individual mineral grains appearing opaque black, while other grains are translucent and allow the light to shine through dimly. This test is one way to distinguish between manmade glass and natural Clear Quartz. This was the test that Melody did in which the blue spots appeared colorless and translucent. She added the word “Sera” to form the philosophical name “Que Sera.”
Que Sera is a phrase in Italian, Portuguese and Spanish that means “whatever will be.” It is a phrase that conveys a philosophical acceptance of the future’s unpredictability and/or the idea that we cannot escape our fate. The phrase was popularized in English-speaking countries with the song, “Que Sera, Sera” (Whatever will be, will be). This was the signature song of the actress Doris Day (1922-2019). She first sang it in the 1956 film, “The Man Who Knew Too Much.” The song proved so popularly, she repeated it several other films and tv shows. Melody grew up during this period and was familiar with the song and felt that the phrase matched this pretty stone. In some cases, fatalism, or the belief we cannot escape fate, can feel serious and grim. Doris Day’s sunny energy makes fatalism feel positively cheerful.
