quartz
Encompasses a large family of stones and crystals, all of
which are made up primarily of silicon dioxide, one of the
most common and most important substances in the world. Crystals
of pure Quartz, generally six-sided, can be found in all shades
and colors. Quartz crystals grow singularly or in groups and
take on different shapes according to the temperature at the
time
of their formation. Quartz crystals can also contain other
minerals "frozen" within, as in rutilated
Quartz. Quartz can be formed of microscopic crystals and take
on entirely different appearances and qualities. Other members
of the Quartz family include Chalcedony, Agate, Jasper, Carnelian,
Onyx, and Sardonyx.
These are treated separately because their healing qualities
are very different from crystal Quartz. Probably the most
versatile multipurpose healing stone. Easy to cleanse, store
info/energy in, program or amplify energy and healing with.
Can both draw and send energy. Powerful clear ones open Brow,
Crown, and Transpersonal Chakra for meditation, sending/receiving
guidance. Stimulates natural crystals in body tissues and
fluids to resonate at new healing frequency. See also many
other stone forms of quartz. (Amethyst, Tiger's Eye)
blue Quartz: is a fairly rare stone, found in the
US and Brazil. Varies in color from pale blue to lavender
or gray. Beneficial effects for the upper torso and related
organs. Helps purify the
bloodstream and heighten the body's immunity to disease. Helps
you discover or increase your understanding of your spiritual
nature. Has a calming effect upon the mind and stimulates
hope. A good healing stone for linking heart with Throat and
Brow
Chakra to expand self expression and creativity, plus refining
communication skill to new levels. Eases throat tension. Immune
system, thyroid, iodine and B Vitamin use. Some say shining
light through Blue Quartz can help reduce need for glasses.
clear quartz is thought to amplify both body
energy and thoughts. It can assist in the creation of power,
clarity of thinking, meditation, cleansing, clearing the aura,
spiritual development and healing. Clear Quartz is considered
the "stone of power". A dedicated
healer. Pure white light passes through it easily, leaving
all the colors of the spectrum unaltered and giving substance
to the argument that Clear Quartz crystals can help balance
all the elements needed to make us whole and fulfilled. Amplify
whatever influences are present in an individual or location.
Acts as a purifier and tunes into the frequency of each individual.
Will unblock specific areas or organs blocked from transmitting
or receiving the flow of energy throughout the body. Helpful
in guiding our search for the meaning and importance of existence.
Aids in meditation. Can be used in conjunction with any other
stone or gem for specific physical problems. It will amplify
the effects of individual stones and attune the treatment
to the energy of an individual person. clear
quartz with metallic, golden rutile, copper, or blue/gray
titanium fibers that powerfully electrically conduct and amplify
energy/thoughts/programming for healing. Intensifies/deepens
altered states. Opens Crown/Brown Chakra for meditation, clairvoyance,
telepathy, insight. Some make one too spacey or scattered

protection and health rejuvenation. Each stone's energy/qualities
are unique. Androgynous. Helpful with Lung disorders. Contains
Rutile in needle-like mineral inclusions.
One can find Rutilated versions of most of the types of Quartz
discussed thus far. It heightens whatever energetic influence
the regular Quartz posses and helps direct that boosted energy
to problematic areas. dendritic Quartz is another variation
that, much like Moss Agate, has pictures on its surface. These
shapes
often resemble plants or animals. Elestial crystals are crystals
that generally have fewer side planes and blunt ends. These
crystals are young and usually much smaller than most other
Quartz crystals. Phantom crystals are crystals
that at one point finished their growth cycle, then began
growing again later. When
looking inside these crystals, you can see a striation that
indicates where the original tip was. For someone drawn to
this type of stone, a need for growth is indicated. purple

has a dark violet color and may have inclusions or clouding
within it. Beneficial to the cleansing organs. Capable of

Double- Terminated Clear quartz: Single-terminated Clear Quartz
crystals are six-sided with a flat bottom and point at the
top. These crystals teach us to focus energy on a concentrated
point. Especially useful for people who have a specific area
or organ in the body that needs lots of attention. For mental
states, it will help you to focus on the
best path to travel in breaking old habits or stablishing
new ones. Double-terminated Clear Quartz crystals are a special
occurrence in nature. Most terminated crystals grow out of
rock, often in clusters with other crystals. Double-terminated
Clear Quartz crystals grow in clay or other soft materials.
It has a point on
both ends. They can draw energy as well as direct it. The
center of the crystal works like a neutralizing chamber. One
of the points draws negative energy inside, where it is transformed
and purified. The energy then passes out of the crystal through
both points. It shows us that most efficient energy comes
from our own center. tangerine quartz: comes
from Madagascar and are quartz crystals with a transparent
coating of bright orange over them. Orange is the color of
the second, or Navel Chakra, which has to do with the reproductive
organs, and life-giving/creative energy. The energy of Tangerine
quartz is bright and giving - these are very lively stones.
Most stones from Madagascar are unusual and highly energetic,
and this
is no exception. Anyone needing to open or activate a blocked
or sluggish Navel Chakra would benefit from working with this
stone. As they are long crystals, they could be used like
wands to open the chakra and direct the energy through it.

flat, dark color with white edge of base. If so, they're not
useful for conducting light/healing, thus less useful for

in the US, Brazil, and Scotland. A word of warning is in order
regarding choosing Smoky Quartz crystals. Its dark color is
caused by impurities, usually carbon, iron, or titanium. But
the color of some Smoky Quartz is caused by the effects of
minute amounts of decaying radium, within the crystal itself.
Because of the presence of this natural low-grade radiation,
Smoky Quartz is good for people with radiation-related illness
or those in chemotherapy. It is best to avoid the heavily
irradiated crystals. Most gemstone and crystal stores do not
sell them, and most gem experts advise against using them
in layouts. Natural Smoky Quartz crystals, like other brown
