Pain Relieving Stones: Quartz

Properties: Quartz is the Master Healer and the "stone of power"!

Probably the most versatile multipurpose healing stone. Easy to

cleanse, store information/energy in, program or amplify energy and is

used as a healing instrument. The natural tendency for quartz is for

harmony. Quartz can both draw and send energy therefore it is effective

for sending/receiving guidance. Quartz is used for transformation in

healing and in all levels of change (mentally/emotionally, physically

and spiritually). Quartz stimulates the natural crystal in body tissues

and fluids to resonate at the highest healing frequency. Quartz works

with All Chakra and master gland for balancing, cleansing and healing.

It is the perfect stone for complete Aura balancing.

Folk Remedies: Quartz can be used to facilitate both speaking and

receiving information from the spiritual world, masters, teachers and

healers. Stimulates positive thought and healing. Quartz is considered

Yin or Androgynous. Quartz is often used in healing remedies such as

crystal elixirs or solarized water, in clusters during meditation, in

reiki grids or laying of stones in a web around you. They are used to

clean the aura and balance chakra energies.

Feng Shui: Quartz can be used anywhere that balance or cleansing is

needed. Use quartz in the Center area for grounding, balance, good

health, spirituality and protection. Use in the West area for projects

and creativity.

History: Quartz (SiO2) is considered solidified light and oxygen.

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 form a huge variety of aggregates,

clusters, gravel, sand and single stones. Quartz can be smoky, milky

white to clear as water. Quartz was used as tools and weapons early in

history and are now used worldwide in watches, appliances and

technology!

Quartz can be formed of microscopic crystals and take on entirely

different appearances and qualities. Other members of the Quartz family

include Chalcedony, Agate, Amethyst, Aventurine, Carnelian, Citrine,

Herkimer Diamonds, Jasper, Onyx, Sardonyx and Tiger's Eye. These are

treated separately because their healing qualities are very different

from crystal or "rock" quartz.
