Crystal Quartz

Quartz crystals are comprised of silicon dioxide and they form in a wide variety of different colors and types. Many are transparent or translucent and they are configured in many different ways, and in a range of attractive colors. Many of the stones made from quartz have powerful healing qualities. Their attributes are quite diverse and many have potent vibrations. Quartz has many excellent qualities including being able to be programmed, and this makes it a powerful stone to use to assist you to manifest those things you desire.

Quartz is used by industry because of its piezoelectric qualities and its amplification properties. It is this specific quality that makes these stones very powerful for metaphysical purposes, and creates strong healing attributes within the stones. Pure quartz, traditionally called rock crystal or clear quartz, is colorless and transparent or translucent, and has often been used for hardstone carvings, such as the Lothair Crystal. Common colored varieties include citrine, rose quartz, amethyst, smoky quartz, milky quartz, and others.

  • Amethyest : Amethyst is a popular form of quartz that ranges from a bright to dark or dull purple color.  Sometimes amethyst and citrine are found growing in the same crystal. It is then referred to as ametrine. An amethyst is formed when there is iron in the area where it was formed.
  • Citrine : Citrine is a variety of quartz whose color ranges from a pale yellow to brown due to ferric impurities. Natural citrines are rare; most commercial citrines are heat-treated amethysts or smoky quartzes. However, a heat-treated amethyst will have small lines in the crystal, as opposed to a natural citrine's cloudy or smokey appearance. It is nearly impossible to differentiate between cut citrine and yellow topaz visually, but they differ in hardness.
  • Milky Quartz : Milk quartz or milky quartz is the most common variety of crystalline quartz. The white color is caused by minute fluid inclusions of gas, liquid, or both, trapped during crystal formation,[citation needed] making it of little value for optical and quality gemstone applications.
  • Smoky Quartz : Smoky quartz is a gray, translucent version of quartz. It ranges in clarity from almost complete transparency to a brownish-gray crystal that is almost opaque. Some can also be black.
  • Rose Quartz : Rose quartz is a type of quartz which exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue. The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the massive material. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light. Additionally, there is a rare type of pink quartz (also frequently called crystalline rose quartz) with color that is thought to be caused by trace amounts of phosphate or aluminium. The color in crystals is apparently photosensitive and subject to fading
  • 6 Sided Pencil Quartz/clear Quartz : These are 6-sided Clear Quartz Pencil Crystals from India that would be great to use in healing sessions and in Grid sets. Clear Quartz can be "programmed" with your intent and you can use it to support any intention or goal you may have throughout the day.Extremely popular metaphysically, Clear Quartz is known as the "Master Healer" of the mineral kingdom, with its very high vibration, and is the most versatile healing stone among all crystals. Quartz is said to be the most powerful healing stone of the mineral kingdom, able to work on any condition. Clear Quartz is also known as the stone of power and amplifies any energy or intention. Clear Quartz is believed to protect against negativity, attune to your higher self, and relieve pain. Quartz crystals are very programmable and have a tendency to hold a program much longer than other minerals.
  • Green Quartz Or Vermarine :  
    • Green Quartz is type of quartzthat containsinclusion of bothchromium or chloriteinterspersed within the quartz's crystalline matrix to give a solid green appearance.Green Quartz has a healing effect when worn or carried.  Use Green Quartz to help transmute negative energies into positive ones. Green Quartz is also known to attract prosperity and success and to stimulate one’s creativity. Carrying Green Quartz will help to activate the Heart Chakra, and impart a sense of wholeness to the owner.
    • By opening, activating and/or stabilizing the Heart Chakra, Green Quartz can help one to feel empathy and universal love for others, and as such, is a great stone for people who are overly selfish or controlling.  Green Quartz has a pleasant vibe and can have a positive effect on the environment if placed strategically in a room. Energy healing can be enhanced with Green Quartz by laying this stone on the Heart Chakra.
