Geological Information

Quartz is a silicon dioxide crystal and is among the most abundant minerals on Earth. It is estimated that about 1/3 of Earth’s crust is made up of some form of Quartz, with most Quartz said to be 100-125 million years old. Found on every continent, Quartz forms in a wide range of environments. It forms as hexagonal prismatic crystals with naturally faceted terminations that may occur on either one or both ends.

Quartz is also known for its piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, which means it is capable of transforming mechanical pressure into electromagnetic energy and vice versa. It is used in the technological world because of its ability to focus and amplify. You will find Quartz in ultrasound devices, watches, microphones, radio transmitters, memory chips and many others, making it a great stone to have when you are using electronic devices as it dispels static electricity and cancels out any harmful effects from radiation and radioactivity.

Metaphysical & Spiritual Properties

Quartz is known in the mineral kingdom as the most versatile and multidimensional mineral. Unlike most other stones, it is able to be programmed with a focused intention that is capable of achieving virtually any goal. It will then amplify that intention out into the world.

The properties of energy amplification and memory make Quartz an excellent stone for healing, meditation, communication with guides, past-life recall or essentially any purpose programmed into it. Quartz produces healing negative ions that clear the surroundings of positive ions, protecting the auric field.

Being a stone of adaptable properties, it is able to amplify the energies of any other stone that surrounds it, making it the ideal stone for grid work. It is a great stone to assist one in overcoming confusion and can bring clarity of thought and purpose to the mind.
