Rock-crystal
Rock crystal, also known as pure or clear quartz, is a transparent, silica mineral.
Pliny the Elder wrote in "Naturalis Historia" that it was believed with quite strong certainty that rock crystal was some form of strange fossilised or petrified ice, which was also supported since “crystal [was] only to be found in places where the winter snow freezes with the greatest intensity”.
Rock crystal was also a popular gemstone, where it was believed the stone would protect the wearer against the evil eye and nightmares. In old Mexican culture it was believed rock crystal contained the souls of both living in dead people. While native Australians used it rituals to produce rain.
Rock crystal is the birthstone of April and the zodiacal birthstone of Aquarius.
Historically worn for: protection.
Every piece we create is entirely hand made to order in our workshop in Oslo, Norway. We do not have any ready to ship products and only begin working on a piece once your order comes through. When you purchase a ring, a pendant, or any other piece from us it will always slightly differ from the one photographed. This is a natural part of the process of hand making and it adds character and uniqueness to your jewelry.
Since the very beginning of Maru Jewelry we have tried maintaining a minimal and organic feel in our designs and continue to draw inspiration from all around us. Our designs are inspired in the beautiful diversity of natural landscapes, the abundance of shapes, textures and colors found in the vast wilderness of Norway. Some of our pieces are particularly rough, emulating the resilience of the flora that manage to survive the harsh Norwegian winters. These pieces tend to be weighty and oxidized, are typically cast in sand in a centuries-old technique, and are made to feel and look like ancient treasures.
We take pride in our production process, featuring only ethically-sourced stones purchased from certified distributors, and using the most natural materials available on the market. We substitute all animal-derived products typically used in jewelry making such as beeswax, leather hammers and aprons, with vegan alternatives, and we try to further minimize our impact on the environment by only using renewable energy to power our tools.
Please contact us for any custom requests or enquiries, as we all always happy to assist our customers and to collaborate.
