Each pair of cufflinks is unique and one of a kind, and made by hand by printmaker, metalworking artist and Cyberoptix founder, Bethany Shorb. I work between Detroit, MI and Los Angeles, CA, where I source all our stone, crystal, shell, fossil and horn specimens. They are intuitively sourced in person, in LA from only the most reputable suppliers.
Red quartz is also known as hematoid quartz, as it contains both the amplification properties of quartz with the balance and stability of hematite. Red quartz is collected for its unusual association with hematite, which provides its distinctive reddish color. Red quartz is similar to tangerine quartz, but its coating consists of a more finely divided, particulate hematite that produces a deeper red color.
