Quartz
Quartz Crystal has an ancient history as a stone of Power. It builds the
connection between the physical & mental dimensions helping to bring a clarity
of thought & intention.
It will work as a communication tool between you & your Spirit Guides,
Teachers or Healing Aids, & allow you be more open to psychic impressions. Use a
Quartz Crystal to access the records of your past lives
When working with your chakras, Quartz will attune very well to the heart
chakra & can be used to activate the “third eye” or brow chakra. Placing a
crystal on your third eye during meditation allows you to focus more clearly &
will magnify images & thoughts for easier evaluation. Additionally, the crown
chakra may also be opened using a Quartz Crystal.
The spiraling nature of the Quartz Crystal structure (Amethyst Vol 1 Issue
3), also makes it useful for clearing a pathway for the movement of the
Kundalini.
You may use Quartz Crystal in protective magic or in purification rituals.
In fact this powerful stone will easily attune to & enhance any energy you are
working to create.
This versatile crystal is a must in any healing collection. It will aid in
boosting the immune system, can increase vitality & is beneficial in relieving
pain. In Mideaval times Quartz was used to relieve fevers by placing a Crystal
on the tongue.
It will aid in circulation, assist in eliminating toxins & help with
digestive disorders. Quartz will also work to unblock energy centers allowing
the body to heal itself.
Crystal clusters can be utilized as energy "generators". Activating &
enhancing the powers & energies of other gemstones. They can also be effective
in bringing harmony & peace to group energies.
The U.S. Forest Service has a free quartz crystal collecting site named Crystal
Vista in the Ouachita National Forest south of Mount Ida in Montgomery County.

ToyoCom was growing gem-like quartz crystals over ten years ago. They add
impurities to the growing solution to provide color to the quartz.
I have a tie clip with a quartz gem that looks like a diamond with a very light
blue tint. It is really quite nice.
