The name of the stone comes from the English word "strawberry" which means strawberry and refers to the similarity of the characteristic red-pink colour of the stone with the strawberry.
The strawberry stone does not have a long history, like other semi-precious stones, as it is a relatively recent discovery. Its popularity increased in the late 20th century, both among jewelry and crystal enthusiasts, due to its attractive color. In jewellery making, the stone is used in necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, worked into various types of cut: cabochons, beads, etc.
Strawberry is considered a symbol of love and harmonious relationships. It has a strengthening effect on communication and understanding between partners. It promotes emotional well-being, reduces stress and anxiety and enhances self-acceptance and self-esteem.
It is also linked to creativity and inspiration, helping the individual to harness their creative energies and find motivation to pursue their passions and artistic pursuits.
Strawberry's calming and soothing energies make it a valuable tool in meditation and relaxation.
It belongs to the silicate minerals and is a form of quartz, which is one of the most abundant minerals on earth. Its crystal structure is usually hexagonal. It has a transparent to translucent appearance. Its characteristic red-pink colour is mainly due to the presence of iron oxide or goethite in the crystal structure of the stone.
Sources of strawberry are found in Brazil, Madagascar, Kazakhstan and India.
