{"product_id":"green-hedenbergite-included-dragon-quartz-cluster-dalnegorsk-russia-etched-skeletal-quartz","title":"Green Hedenbergite Included Dragon Quartz Cluster | Dalnegorsk Russia Etched Skeletal Quartz","description":"Rare green hedenbergite included “dragon” quartz cluster from Dalnegorsk, Russia featuring heavily textured skeletal growth and deep forest-to-charcoal coloration caused by dense hedenbergite inclusions within the quartz. The surfaces are covered in intricate layered etching that gives the entire piece a scaled appearance, which is where the “dragon quartz” nickname comes from. Under light, the faces shift between smoky graphite tones, muted green depths, and silvery reflective flashes across the textured terminations.\n\nThis cluster has an especially aggressive growth habit, with tightly intergrown points rising together in a jagged crown formation. Smaller secondary crystals emerge throughout the structure while pale mineral remnants remain naturally attached between the points, creating strong contrast against the darker quartz body. The combination of the hedenbergite saturation and etched skeletal texture gives the specimen a volcanic, armor-like appearance that feels almost unreal in person.\n\nDalnegorsk is famous for producing some of the world’s most unusual and visually intense quartz formations, and dragon quartz from this locality has become especially sought after for its dark coloration, complex internal inclusions, and reptilian surface texture. The dense hedenbergite within this piece gives it a shadowy green tone that separates it from standard smoky quartz and makes the entire cluster feel ancient and elemental under direct lighting.\n\nMetaphysically, dragon quartz is often associated with resilience, protection, primal strength, and transformation through adversity. Many people work with hedenbergite included quartz during periods of rebuilding after emotional upheaval, viewing the layered etched surfaces as symbolic of survival, wisdom, and endurance earned over time rather than handed freely. The darker green inclusions are also associated with grounding energy while still maintaining emotional intensity and personal power.\n\nFollow us on IG: @the.sea.lestials for deals and musical videos.","brand":"The Sealestials Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435431522616,"sku":"undefined","price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/6372\/5624\/files\/il_fullxfull.8070351585_ci39.jpg?v=1780034182","url":"https:\/\/www.sealestials.com\/products\/green-hedenbergite-included-dragon-quartz-cluster-dalnegorsk-russia-etched-skeletal-quartz","provider":"The Sealestials Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
