Synthetic quartz's flawless clarity and optical perfection lets it be cut into virtually any shape. Some other unique shapes include:
Pendeloque - Oval with pear shaped ends
Shield - Squared shape with convex sides
Bi-Octagon - Combining an octagon and square outline
Hexagon - Six sided geometric shape
Crescent - Semicircular or U-shaped outline
Briolette - Teardrop faceted shape
Linecut - Rectangular bar with parallel facets
Tetrahedron - Four identical triangular faces
Cabochon - Smooth rounded dome, unfaceted
These and many more shapes display the brilliance and beauty of synthetic quartz. The precisely calculated faceting maximizes light refraction, dispersion and scintillation. Shapes with straight lines and pointed corners nicely complement the flawless clarity of quartz. Whatever shape you choose, synthetic quartz makes a stunning, environmentally conscious alternative to traditional gemstones.
