About Garden Quartz / Lodolite

Garden quartz, or lodolite, is a distinctive quartz variety containing mineral inclusions—often mica, chlorite, goethite, or other minerals—that create garden-like scenes within the crystal. These transparent or translucent quartz specimens showcase striking landscape-like patterns and miniature internal formations that collectors describe as enclosed natural artworks. Garden quartz specimens offer unique aesthetic appeal with each piece displaying completely individual inclusion patterns.Garden quartz deposits occur in Brazil, Madagascar, and other locations where specific mineral associations create inclusion-rich quartz crystals. Brazilian deposits yield the most celebrated specimens, featuring dramatic landscape-like inclusions ranging from delicate lichen-like chlorite patterns to substantial goethite clusters. The geological conditions must simultaneously concentrate quartz while introducing diverse trace minerals—a relatively rare occurrence creating collectible specimens.Explore our garden quartz collection featuring specimens with dramatic landscape-like inclusions and superior clarity from prime worldwide sources.
