3M Colorquartz Ceramic-coated Crystals

3M Colorquartz Ceramic-Coated Crystals are a melding of nature and technology. We start with quartz, one of the world’s hardest minerals. A ceramic coat is bonded to each piece of quartz. The ceramic coating contains inorganic pigments that give each crystal a brilliant color. This combination creates a crystal that is both tough and beautiful. Its color refuses to bleed or fade even when exposed to harsh sunlight, strong pool chemicals and mechanical wear.
