There is much to be said about the most abundant mineral in the world. Quartz is clear and yet contains the entire color spectrum when its prismatic hexagonal crystals are hit with direct light. Quartz is found all over our planet and metaphysically is considered the master healer. Clear quartz is simply pure silicon dioxide. Even the word crystal is derived from Quartz. The Greek derivative is "krystallos", meaning "ice", because crystal was believed to be water frozen so hard it could never thaw.

Throughout history quartz has been revered as the supreme gift of the mother earth. Quartz is associated as much with modern day technology as it is with ancient history. It is a universally magical piece of human existence.
