Clear Quartz also known as Rock Crystal is said to bring the energy of the stars into the soul. Natural quartz crystal both harmonizes and aligns human energies, thoughts, consciousness and emotions with the energies of the universe and  makes these greater energies available to humanity. It is recognized as a stone of power.

Thought by various Ancients to be water that magically solidified, Quartz Crystal has been used by shamans for thousands of years. Some say that Quartz was used to magically produce rain in parts of the Pacific including Australia and New Guinea. Also said to have been used in the Eleusinian mysteries to produce sacred fire by concentrating the heat of the sun to ignite wood chips.

Ceremonial Wands belonging to Native American Indians have been found in Southern California. Cherokee Shamans respected the power of this gem and kept the stones wrapped in buckskin when not in use. It is said to have cooling powers and is a romantic stone.

Quartz is the ultimate "anything-stone" as it radiates all the color vibrations within the spectrum of light and thus can be utilized and programmed for any use which bring light and energy into our spiritual bodies. A "stone of the mind", quartz can be used to imprint with any energy or information and helps to focus the mind, aids in concentration and enhances mental ability.

Used in psychism and as a general magical power amplifier, Quartz is a common stone but a powerful one. It enhances energy and thoughts and purifies the spiritual, mental and physical. It is also a powerfully protective stone bringing the purified energy in.

Quartz Crystal has a similar vibration as humans. This is why using Crystal to mediate and keep a Quartz Crystal helps one to know oneself. It will sometimes not work for a person who is negative.

Whether the crystal is worn, carried or placed inside one's environment; the force, warmth and brilliance remain attuned to the energy of the one to whom it is connected.
