CLEAR QUARTZ

Introduction

Clear quartz is perhaps one of the most popular and easily recognisable crystals around. Clear Quartz is also known as crystal quartz and is a mineral made of oxygen and silicone atoms. As the meaning of the name suggests, Clear Quartz is transparent and clear to white colored. It also goes by the name Rock Crystal. Clear quartz (AKA white quartz, crystal quartz, rock crystal and others) is perhaps one of the most popular stones in the healing crystal world and for good reason. Commonly referred to as “The Master Healer”, it’s a powerful and versatile tool that should be incorporated into everyone's toolbox. Clear quartz is not always clear as it often has inclusions and can sometimes even be cloudy. The Greek people used to call it ‘krystallos’, as Greek thinkers believed that it is nothing but the water in the hardest form. They too believed that it was created by their Greek gods. The word ‘krystallos’ means ‘ice’ in Greek. This word is later accepted by our world and now we call it ‘Crystal’. But the actual meaning of crystal was ice.  Let’s take a look at the Clear Quartz to celebrate its crystal king status.
