All About Quartz Crystal

The most prevalent and extensively dispersed mineral in the crust of the world is quartz. It is made up of silicon and oxygen (silicon dioxide). The majority of metamorphic and igneous rocks, particularly gneiss and granite, include this crystal, which can be generated in a variety of methods. Quartz is present in gravels and alluvial sands because it is resistant to weathering.

In dense druses and masses, prismatic hexagonal crystals of quartz are found. Because it is so plentiful, quartz crystal is also incredibly cheap. Of all the crystal families, quartz is the most adaptable. There are many crystal jewelry pieces in it, and there are more color options available in both transparent and opaque varieties.

With a Mohs hardness value of 8, it is a durable stone as well. The stone is very common, and you can mine it anywhere in the planet. The US, the French Alps, Madagascar, Brazil, and the St. Gotthard massif in the Swiss Alps are the notable locations for the stunning huge quartz crystals.

The Meaning and Uses

It is thought that the word "quartz" comes from the old German word "querkluftertz," which describes whitish vein quartz. It's also thought that the word "quartz" comes from the ancient Greek word "krustallos," which signifies ice. This is due to the fact that both the Greeks and the Romans thought that quartz crystals were made of ice that never melted and were created by the Gods.

As far back as Lemuria and Atlantis, where the sun's power was thought to be captured through this crystal as a source of solar energy refraction, quartz has been revered throughout history by practically every civilisation. Quartz crystals were utilized in diagnostic therapy, spiritual development, and meditations, as holy objects, in grave sites, and undoing magical and bad enchantments by African tribes, Native American Indians, Aztecs, ancient Egyptians, Scots, Romans, and numerous more cultures.

The pyroelectric and piezoelectric capabilities of quartz crystal, which allow it to convert mechanical heat or pressure into electromagnetic energy and vice versa, are well known. It is utilized in timepieces, ultrasonic devices, radio receivers and transmitters, microphones, computer memory chips, and other electrical circuitry applications and can help you focus, store, magnify, and transform energy.

The clear quartz crystals are the most multidimensional and adaptable gemstones in the mineral kingdom for meditation, healing, communication with guides, expansion of consciousness, attracting wealth and love, past-life recall, and practically any purpose thanks to these same energy programmability, amplification, and memory properties.

In order to shield your auric fields from outside negative ions, quartz crystals can also produce a strong force field of therapeutic positive ions. Additionally, it can eliminate static electricity and counteract the negative effects of radiation and radioactivity.
