Quartz is a power stone that harmonizes and balances. It enhances energy and thoughts, and purifies the spiritual, mental, and physical. It is also a powerfully protective stone, bringing the purified energy in. Historically this crystal has been used to counter black magic, to perform diagnostic healing, and to communicate with spirits and other worlds. Clear quartz, as opposed to colored quartz, is associated with the crown chakra, but also works well on all chakras

It can be used in many ways.

1. You can hold it in your dominant hand while you meditate. 2. Balance your chakras by rotating a quartz crystal in a spiral pattern over each chakra point 3. Program a quartz crystal for your goals. 4. When a quartz crystal is placed with another crystal it enhances the other's energy.

Quartz Crystals - Their Identification and Meanings An Updated Guide to the Uses and Meanings of Quartz Crystal Shapes, Inclusions, and Appearances

Quartz crystals are natural modulators, transmitters, and containers of the Universal Life Force. As they are grown within the earth, they take unique shapes that affect their abilities to modify, store, and transmit the Life Force. We offer here a listing of the quartz shapes, inclusions, and crystal arrangements, and their generally accepted definitions and metaphysical properties.

However, this is a never-ending work in progress. The earth is constantly offering new treasures. In addition there are many authors and writers that offer new insights into the energy of different quartz crystals. If you see errors or omissions drop us a note. Our intent is to provide the most complete and accurate listing possible on the web. This listing is in two parts.

The Listing of Quartz Crystal Types and Descriptions.
On this page is a long list of the types of quartz crystals and a description of them. Each of them is linked to a second page that provides a photograph (if we have one) and the metaphysical properties of the crystal. Metaphysical Properties of Quartz Crystals.

The metaphysical properties of the shapes are those based on the shape of the crystals, their relationships to other crystals, the properties of their inclusions, or the commonly accepted uses by crystal healers and practitioners. Be aware however, that the metaphysical properties are not necessarily consistent with every book or article you might read. Keep an open mind.

There are many viewpoints in the world, and you must sift through them to find your truth. What is right for one person, is not necessarily what is best for another. Also, be aware that a crystal formation may well be good for something for most people, but others may have discovered new energies and uses.

For example, cabinetmaker may well see a screwdriver as a tool used to install and remove screws. He or she is right. However, a painter may see it as an excellent paint can opener. Both are right. The list is a starting point on your voyage of discovery.

The Universal Life Force
However, regardless of the specific uses that have been discovered for the various types of crystals the basic fact is that the Universal Life Force connects all elements of the spiritual and physical universe in which we live. Quartz crystals can help us focus and amplify the Universal Life Force to aid and augment our own power.

The right crystal aligned with the right mind can produce power by focusing and amplifying the Life Force that animates the universe.

Whether you call it the Divine will, the hand of god, Qui, Ki, or any of a hundred other names from a hundred other cultures or religions, the Universal Life Force is the power behind the Universe. Quartz crystals manifest that Force, can transmit it, and can shape the force as it shapes them. Their power in the affairs of humans is a quite extraordinary one - and a gift of nature.
