Quartz

Quartz is one of the most popular and prolific minerals in the entire mineral kingdom. It can be found on nearly every continent and is used in a multitude of objects that we use in our everyday lives, including watches and electronics.

Although quartz is an abundant mineral, there are only a few regions in the world that produce specimens that are worthy of collection rather than industrial use. The best quartz from these localities have astounding clarity, reflective luster, smooth crystal faces, and sharp terminations.

Colored by a slight smoky tinge, this beautiful cluster of quartz crystals resembles the mountains from which they were recovered. Its primary crystal has wonderful transparency and all of its crystals have reflective luster which is heightened by the naturally etched faces. This textural detail complements the subtle cathedral effect of the crystals and adds visual interest.

Some people believe that quartz helps with peaceful sleep, promotes perseverance and patience, and harmonizes and aligns human energies with the energy of the universe.
