Fun Facts

  •  Named After: the Greek krystallos, meaning ice, as it was thought that Clear Quartz was actually ice formed by the Gods, and the word Quartz is attributed to the German word of Slavic origin Quarz, meaning hard. 
  • Discovery: 16th-century germany
  • Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, behind feldspar.
  • Quartz exists in two forms, the normal A-quartz and the high-temperature B-quartz, both of which are chiral.
  • Clear Quartz is possibly the most versatile, multipurpose, and powerful healing stone available, due to its unique helical spiral crystalline form 
  • In Australian Aboriginal mythology, Quartz Crystal is the material identified as the mystical substance maban (The substance from which the shamans and elders derive their magical powers). 
  • Ancient Japanese believed Quartz was formed from the breath of a white dragon, and regarded it as representing perfection. 
  • Since the Middle Ages, crystal balls made of Clear Quartz have been used to predict the future. Historically this crystal has been employed to counter black magic, communicate with spirits and other worlds, and perform diagnostic healing. 
  • commonly located in passage tomb cemeteries throughout Europe and in burial mounds in the Republic of Ireland. 
  • The Irish word for Quartz is grian cloch, meaning ‘stone of the sun’. 
  • Quartz implements were also used in prehistoric times. 
  • Since earliest times Quartz was commonly used for various types of hard stone carving, including rock crystal vases and extravagant vessels. The tradition continued to produce objects that were very highly valued until the mid-19th century when it largely fell out of fashion. 
  • Quartz Crystal has piezoelectric properties. 
  • An early use of this was in phonograph pickups. 
  • Today Quartz Crystal is used as a crystal oscillator with the Quartz clock being a familiar example of a device using these properties. It is also employed in many modern technologies to make things like silicon chips for computers, radios, and various other man-made devices
  • It is the easiest crystal to program and may be used for a multitude of purposes. It stores information like a natural computer. It is considered the ultimate crystal because of its many uses.
  • Both the Irish and Mayan are known to have buried Clear Quartz crystals in their fields hoping to attract good rainfall and the blessing of a bountiful harvest.  More recently, the Ta-ta-thi, an aboriginal tribe in Australia, were documented in the 20th century using Clear Quartz in their rain ritual. The Chief of the tribe would break a piece of Quartz into two pieces and throw the smaller part into the sky. The remaining piece was wrapped in feathers, soaked in water, and buried. If performed correctly, it was said to consistently bring down the rains.
  • Quartz was believed to be ice which had petrified and therefore remained in a permanent solid state. This belief persisted well into the European medieval period.
