Quartz is a clear crystalline mineral made from silicon dioxide and oxygen. The atoms of which are linked in a continuous and unique helical spiral crystalline framework. Quartz-based crystals have naturally occuring facets at their tips - these are usually six-sided. The second most abundant mineral on Earth (after feldspar), Quartz is found in abundance around the world. Is is found in igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. It is one of the worlds most useful crystals due to its physical and chemical makeup. It is extremely durable and chemically inert (in most cases). It has electrical properties as well as being resistant to heat.
In terms of crystal healing, its ability to vibrate at precise frequencies makes quartz the most powerful healing and energy amplifier on the planet. It has the ability to absorb, store, release and regulate energy and is excellent at unblocking it too. Holding a quartz in your hand doubles your biomagnetic field. When acupuncture needles are coated in quartz, there effects increase by ten percent! A superb protection against radiation, Quartz also generates electromagnetism and dispels static electricity. Quartz works at the vibrational level attuned to the energy requirements of the person undergoing crystal healing or spiritual work.
Spiritually, Quartz raises energy to the highest possible level enhancing psychic abilites, filtering distractions, attuning spiritual purpose - like a computer, Quartz stores information - thought of as a spiritual library ready to be accessed.
These crystals really are the master healers. They can be used for any condition, bringing the body into balance and stimulating the immune system. Specific colours and types of Quartz have further properties too!
