How to identify
Blue Quartz

Look and feel

Identify Blue Quartz by checking colour range (Blue), surface finish, weight, hardness near Mohs 7.0, natural inclusions and reliable supplier documentation. Compare with known specimens and avoid pieces with overly uniform dye or glass-like bubbles.

Real vs imitation

Common checks include looking for air bubbles, artificial dye concentration in cracks, unusually low price, inconsistent hardness and missing origin information. Lab testing is recommended for valuable specimens.
