Meaning & Story
Named after the crystalline mineral — clear, strong, and sparkling — suggesting clarity of spirit and natural beauty.
Quartz is a gem of a pet name — literally. The mineral quartz is one of the most abundant and beautiful on earth, coming in varieties from clear rock crystal to deep purple amethyst to smoky grey. As a pet name, it has a cool, crystalline quality that suits a cat or dog with an especially striking appearance — clear eyes, a silvery coat, or a presence that seems to catch the light. Quartz is sharp but beautiful, common but endlessly varied in its forms, just like the best pets.
