Therapeutic Properties of Quartz

Quartz is the most abundant gem in the world; but it also is one of the most useful for health/spiritual applications.

Quartz had been used for centuries to commune with the divine. Quartz has some unique properties that may explain the popularity of this gem for mystical uses. First, it becomes electrically charged under pressure. This property is known as piezoelectric. Second, heating quartz charges the stone electrically. This property is called pyroelectric. Like the computer chips that use silicon to transmit and store information, many people believe that we can use quartz to communicate with the divine and the spirits. In this sense, quartz is believed to "amplify" our psychic power.

The Quartz Crystal provides for purification of the physical, mental, and spiritual bodies.
