Physical Formation
Garden Quartz, also known as Lodolite or Scenic Quartz, is a variety of Quartz that contains inclusions of other minerals trapped during its formation. These inclusions can create landscapes, forests, mountains, clouds, or underwater scene-like appearances within the crystal. The inclusions often consist of chlorite, hematite, feldspar, or other minerals that became enclosed as the Quartz crystal slowly grew over millions of years.
