Quartz Crystal (the Master Stone)

by John and Micki Baumann

 

 

Quartz crystal, or rock crystal as it is sometimes called, is a common

crystal composed of silicon dioxide. Clear quartz is the most common,

but white or cloudy quartz results when it is grown in places where

frost can exist. Quartz is mined in Arkansas, Brazil, Madagascar, and

Colombia, as well as in a number of other places. Named after a Slavic

word meaning " hard " , quartz has been used as a sacred power object by

many cultures, including Native Americans, Druid priests, Tibetan monks,

and priests of Christian Europe.

 

Quartz grows in a hexagonal or six-sided structure, with additional

faces that slope toward a point at one end. A crystal with these

characteristics is itself also called a " point " . Natural quartz crystals

come out of the ground in just this shape without being faceted. A point

may be totally clear and transparent, or it may contain streaks, lines,

rainbows, water bubbles or other inclusions. Optical clarity usually has

little to do with a crystal's quality and its ability to amplify the

subtle energies.

 

Quartz, a Gift from the Earth

 

Quartz crystals are truly a gift from the earth. They have the ability

to amplify or strengthen all the energies of the Inner Being, which is

everything you are as a person. They strengthen all the things in you

that are positive, and they can help you put away things that cause you

fear or anger. They can strengthen your ability to be a loving person,

and can enhance your abilities to enjoy life and accomplish the things

you want in life. They can amplify intention, reduce stress, help with

centering (balancing or calming), strengthen inner healing abilities,

and surround you with protection by amplifying white light. And they can

make it easier to take steps toward personal growth.

 

The reason quartz is called the master stone is that it strengthens all

your energies in a very broad spectrum sort of way. In order to use a

quartz crystal to strengthen your energies, all you have to do is keep

it with you, or keep it close to where you spend some time. You don't

need to do anything special to the crystal in order to have its

benefits. For example, if you carry a quartz crystal point in your

pocket, it will act as a general amplifier that will strengthen all of

your personal energies at the same time.

 

Quartz Clusters

 

Quartz crystals generally grow in clusters that are made up of many

individual crystals. Clusters have a special energy all their own

because of the many internal connections between the individual

crystals. A cluster will fill a whole room with positive energy because

the crystals harmonize and vibrate together, and radiate their energy

just as far as if the cluster was all one crystal. Also, clusters

vibrate in a slightly different way than single crystals do. For

comparison, think of a big single crystal as being a gong, and think of

a cluster as being a number of tinkling little cymbals, or a wind chime

with a number of different tones. The big crystal is a single sound, and

the cluster is a whole orchestra. Clusters put out a huge amount of

energy because of their orchestral harmony.

 

Clusters are also very good at dissipating negative energy wherever they

are placed. For this reason you may want to put one in your home to

clear it, for example, after an angry person leaves. A cluster will

dissipate this energy, and get rid of it from the environment. When a

cluster absorbs negative energy, you don't have to cleanse it because it

dissipates the negative energy by itself. This happens because the

different vibrations of all the crystals vibrating together act as a

natural form of cleansing.

 

Quartz and Personal Growth

 

A quartz crystal can be of great benefit in taking steps towards

personal growth, because it strengthens the energy that you yourself put

out, and this, in turn, makes it easier for you to take growth steps.

The amplified energy sent back to you from the crystal helps you make

attitude changes, and helps you practice those changes until they become

part of who you are. However, the crystal can't do the actual growth for

you. Only you can do that. Remember that you " have to be it to have it " .

This means you must be a certain kind of person to have the energies or

characteristics that go along with being that way.

 

People sometimes think that what crystals do is magic since they use a

type of subtle energy that has not yet been discovered by science. But a

crystal is not a magic tool, just a good tool in that it strengthens

your own abilities and intentions. This means that in order to make a

crystal work to help you grow, you have to put in the energy (in terms

of intention) to make the growth steps yourself. You yourself have to

increase your awareness in each particular area where you want to grow.

A crystal or stone can not do that for you. It can not make you grow

against your will, or with no effort on your part. But it will make it

easier to reach a new awareness, and it will also make it easier to use

your intention to practice that new awareness.
