Que Sera Stone

Que Sera Stone is a modern commercial name used for an attractive multi-mineral rock with a distinctive mixture of blue-grey, cream, pink, brown, black and earthy tones. It is not a recognised individual mineral species and does not have one fixed chemical composition. Most commercial material is described as a silica-rich volcanic or rhyolitic rock containing Quartz and Feldspar together with varying accessory minerals. The blue or blue-grey areas are often associated with Quartz-rich portions of the rock. Que Sera Stone is frequently compared with Llanite because both can contain conspicuous blue Quartz within a darker feldspar-rich matrix. However, true Llanite refers specifically to a particular blue-Quartz rhyolite from Llano County, Texas, while Que Sera is a broader trade name commonly applied to Brazilian material. Because the trade name is not scientifically standardised, the exact mineral mixture can vary between specimens and suppliers. Laboratory analysis is required if the precise mineral composition of an individual piece needs to be confirmed. Its unusual patchwork appearance makes Que Sera Stone especially popular as spheres, towers, palmstones, carvings and polished freeforms.
