INFORMATION
Brown Crystal : Origins and Characteristics
Appearance and variations :
Brown crystal is distinguished by shades ranging from light brown to deep brown, sometimes interspersed with smoky or slightly golden hues. Its partial transparency creates a rich and sophisticated visual depth, while natural variations in color and structure give each slab a unique identity. This stone brings a feeling of warmth and nobility to any space it adorns.
Natural formation :
Brown crystal is formed by the slow crystallization of quartz, enriched by the presence of mineral inclusions responsible for its coloration. This geological process, which takes place over millions of years, allows crystals to form freely and develop a stable and resistant structure. The brown hue results from the natural combination of these mineral elements and their interaction with the geological environment.
Origin :
Brown crystal is mined in regions renowned for the quality of their quartz deposits, particularly in Brazil and Madagascar. Depending on its origin, the stone may have warmer or deeper shades. At GVA Stones, each selection is made with the utmost care to ensure visual consistency and quality suitable for high-end projects.
