Quartz is by far the most abundant and far reaching mineral on the surface of the Earth. It can be found in several places because it has the ability to form in a variety of temperatures.

 We have all seen Quartz stones while walking around the woods, or even in gravel, but has a Quartz stone/ crystal ever caught your eye and enchanted you to pick it up?

I am not going to lie, I was one of those odd kids that loved to play with bugs and dig in the dirt. Just recently while cleaning out my attic, I found an entire box full of quartz stones I collected as a child and stowed away for the future.

Having completely forgotten about my childhood Quartz obsession, it astonished me that today, as a young adult, I find myself with a decently sized crystal collection that includes several varieties of Quartz crystal.

I am a firm believer in the metaphysical powers of crystals because I have seen them help me in my day to day life. My favorite stone? You guessed it, Clear Quartz. I have always found myself drawn to this stone, especially when I learned about its properties and uses.

In the technological world, clear Quartz is extremely valuable due to its pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties that make it useful in amplifying and transforming energies. Radio transmitters, microphones, and memory chips all use Clear Quartz in their circuity.

In my own life, I have seen Clear Quartz amplify and transmit my own energies in the form of positive thoughts, manifesting my desires, and extending healing to others. 

Some Uses of Quartz include:

  • Carry this stone with you in your purse or pocket for a mood lift
  • Keep in the work place for protection against negative energies
  • Keep next to your bed when you feel sick to promote healing
  • Use with other crystals to amplify their energies
  • Hold in hands while envisioning your desires to bring them into fruition
  • Wear on your body for positive energy and confidence

 

Quartz is truly a magnificent mineral that belongs in every person’s household. If there is a stone you find you are drawn to, do some research to learn about the properties and uses of that stone. You may find the universe is trying to communicate with you in one way or another
