Quartz
Quartz is the purest form of SiO2, which exhibits a Trigonal structure and has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale.
Quatz is known as the master crystal as it is so useful in so many ways. Quartz has a simplicity which can work both at surface and at very deep levels. Clear quartz brings clarity and inspiration. Quartz activates all chakras when placed upon them, it also clears and energises thses chakras. Quartz is a natural amplifier which can enhance the energy and characteristics of any of the crystals or minerals that it works with.
Quartz has often been termed the all singing all dancing crystal, as it can be energetically
programmed to do all manner of jobs, including distance healing.
When choosing a quartz, the clearer the crystal the faster the energy, and the clearer the energy. When working with points then be sure to choose a crystal with a good definite point. Milky quartzes are also wonderful to work with but they have a much gentler and calmer energy. Quartz naturally supports the etheric bodies and enhances the communication between the etheric and physical aspects.
