A symbol of love and connection

Strawberry Quartz

Strawberry quartz holds tiny reddish inclusions, such as hematite, that give it a soft strawberry-pink glow. It has become one of Taiwan's most popular crystals for anyone drawn to themes of romance, warmth and connection, and many people wear it as a gentle daily reminder to stay open-hearted rather than as a promise of any particular outcome.

Traditional symbolism

Associated with romance

In folklore this stone is linked to sincere, steady affection. For anyone hoping to meet someone, think of it as an encouragement to open up and stay approachable rather than a guarantee of a partner.

A reminder to nurture closeness

For those already in a relationship, it is traditionally worn as a symbol of warmth and gentle communication, a small prompt to soften and reconnect.

A symbol of warmth and approachability

Its soft look has long made it a favourite for people who want to feel more open and friendly, which can carry over into everyday and workplace relationships.

How to wear it

Which wrist

For themes of drawing warmth and connection in, the left wrist is the traditional choice.

Styling tip

Worn alongside rose quartz for a doubled sense of gentle, open-hearted meaning. Many people like to keep it close against the skin.

Cleansing & care

Moonlight is the gentlest choice, about once a month. Keep it out of direct sun, which can fade the colour over time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between strawberry quartz and rose quartz?

Rose quartz has a gentle, all-round feel and is often linked to warmth toward others and toward yourself. Strawberry quartz, with its reddish inclusions, carries a more focused association with romance in folklore. Which you choose comes down to the meaning that resonates with you.

How can I tell natural strawberry quartz from an imitation?

Natural strawberry quartz has inclusions that are scattered unevenly and sit at different depths, giving it a layered look. Glass imitations often show round trapped bubbles and a colour that looks too uniform and vivid.
