Crystalline fire captured in clay.
This Fire Quartz Clay blends Sculpey III with quartz fragments streaked with hematite, collected around Charlottesville, Virginia. Each inclusion carries shimmering reds and translucent clarity, forged in the ancient bedrock of the Appalachians.
Charlottesville’s Piedmont region is known for its metamorphic stone and iron-rich quartz deposits, long studied for their vivid mineral inclusions. The fragments here create natural flashes of red and translucent sparkle, echoing the fiery heart of Virginia’s geology.
Fired, the clay reveals glimmers and warm speckling, infusing sculpture with mineral luminosity.
Available in three formats:
- 2 oz block – crystalline sample with hematite detail
- 8 oz block – extended supply for larger works
- 2 oz Sunburst Clay + Mold Set – highlights quartz shimmer in radial form
