What is Quartz Crystal?
Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms in a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon--oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2.

Quartz
Quartz crystal was once believed to be an eternal ice sent by the heavenly gods. Until the late 1500s, many scholars thought this stone was fossilized ice. Quartz crystal is actually a mineral, one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth's continental crust, composed of silicon and oxygen. Quartz can be icy clear or have inclusions, veils, bubbles and various colors. It is also known as rock crystal, crystal quartz, universal crystal or clear quartz. People in the earliest recorded times believed in the magical powers of quartz. Ancient Roman, Egyptian and Greek civilizations used quartz crystals as potent talismans. The word quartz is thought to come from the German word "quarz," and the word crystal comes from the Greek word "krystallos," which means ice. The Ancient Japanese believed quartz formed from the breath of a white dragon, and regarded it as representing perfection.

Quartz has been used throughout history in rain rituals, crystal skulls and spheres for crystal balls to predict the future since the middle ages. Quartz crystal is a power stone that's prized as a healing stone. It is known as the most powerful healing stone of the mineral kingdom, able to work on any condition. It has been called the "Universal Crystal" because of its many uses and is beneficial for manifesting, healing, meditation, protection and channeling. Due to its ability to balance, quartz is excellent for harmonizing and stabilizing one's environment. It is said to amplify healing energy and is also believed to improve mental and physical energy, stamina and physical strength.

The Use of Quartz
Spiritual Growth
Learn From Within
Quartz enhances spiritual growth, spirituality and wisdom. Because it clarifies thought processes and emotions, it can increase inspiration and creativity. It can also help with concentration, studying and retaining what one learns. Many types of crystals have piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, which have, in simple terms, the ability to convert, transmit, store and amplify any energy applied to them. This has made these crystals very useful for many technological applications, from early crystal radio sets, to gramophone needles, to today’s ultrasound, computer and digital communications technologies. The benefits of vibrational energy can bring you to a positive state of being, higher states of consciousness, enhanced emotional balance, heightened intuition, and the potential to promote physical, mental and emotional healing by influencing the body's natural vibrational frequencies.
Quartz Energy
All energy operates at its own specific frequency. Our intention does indeed influence matter, as has now also been proven in quantum physics. We now know our intention carries influential frequency and we know crystals can amplify frequency. Many researchers and healers who have worked with crystals over time have documented how the nature of the type of crystal itself influences the nature of the energy it transmits or amplifies – meaning, it adds its own signature frequency to the energetic information frequency it is processing. This helps to explain the science behind a therapist using different types of crystals in a treatment to help you achieve specific beneficial effects. But remember the importance of intention. Always formulate your best possible intentions when working with crystals, you want them to amplify the best content for you. The clearer and more precise our focus on the positive outcomes we would like to achieve for you.

“Crystals are a tool, and their function is to amplify both energy and thought.
One can use a crystal to tune into a higher frequency.”
