Quartz Album Pieces (Silicon Dioxide, SiO₂) are naturally occurring pieces of purified quartz mineral that have been valued for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), traditional mineral practices, and mineral collections. Composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth and has long been appreciated for its purity, stability, and natural crystalline structure. Throughout history, it has been incorporated into specialized traditional mineral preparations and is also widely used for educational, laboratory, lapidary, and metaphysical purposes.
In traditional mineral systems, purified quartz has historically been processed through specialized purification methods before being incorporated into certain classical formulations. Outside of these traditional practices, Quartz Album Pieces are commonly appreciated for mineral study, specimen collections, lapidary work, educational demonstrations, and decorative applications that showcase the beauty and durability of natural quartz.
Quartz is composed almost entirely of silicon dioxide, a naturally stable mineral recognized for its hardness, chemical stability, and resistance to weathering. Its crystalline structure has made it valuable across numerous industries, including glass manufacturing, ceramics, electronics, optical equipment, laboratory applications, and scientific research. In traditional wellness systems, only properly purified and professionally prepared mineral ingredients are used according to established practices.
Each batch of Quartz Album Pieces (Silicon Dioxide, SiO₂) is carefully selected to preserve its natural mineral character, crystalline structure, and traditional quality. The pieces are suitable for educational, mineralogical, lapidary, display, and other appropriate professional or traditional applications, depending on their intended use.

Nutrients: Silicon dioxide (SiO₂), with possible trace mineral impurities depending on the natural source
Notes: Bai Shi Ying, known as 白石英 (Bái Shí Yīng) or Quartz Album in traditional Chinese materia medica, is a naturally occurring white or translucent form of quartz composed primarily of silicon dioxide. Unlike botanical TCM ingredients, Bai Shi Ying is a mineral substance. It has a long history of use in traditional Chinese herbal practice, where it was incorporated into specially prepared formulas. In traditional terminology, Bai Shi Ying was regarded as a warming mineral and historically associated with supporting respiratory comfort and vitality and warming deficiency-cold patterns. Modern commercial material may be sold as irregular white, cloudy, or translucent mineral pieces. Today, it is primarily valued as a traditional materia medica ingredient rather than as a food, nutritional mineral supplement, or culinary ingredient.
