The Quartz crystal is one of the most common, powerful and widely distributed minerals on the planet. It consists of oxygen and silicon (silicon dioxide), can be formed in numerous ways and occurs in most metamorphic and igneous rocks, especially in gneiss and granite. Since it resists weathering, you can also find quartz in gravels and alluvial sands.
Throughout history, Quartz has been valued by many civilizations and cultures. Historical and traditional accounts associate quartz with practices involving healing, spiritual development, meditation, religious objects, funerary sites, and protection from what various cultures considered harmful or negative influences.
Quartz crystals are ideal metaphysical tools for practices involving healing, chakra clearing, stabilizing energy fields, enhancing psychic abilities, emotional clearing, meditation, astral projection, lucid dreaming, dream enhancement, opening the third eye and as the main component in Orgone energy devices. These uses are part of metaphysical traditions and personal practices rather than scientifically established effects.
Quartz occurs as prismatic hexagonal crystals in compact rock cavities and masses. Since it is abundant, quartz crystal is also super affordable. Quartz is the most versatile (and durable) of any of the crystal family. It includes a large number of gems and more variety of color choices in both non-transparent and transparent varieties.
The double terminated quartz crystal is often considered especially powerful in metaphysical practices because it is traditionally believed to transmit or draw energy from both ends. While double terminated quartz crystals have amazing metaphysical abilities according to these traditions, you could basically use any quartz crystal with the following information.
Quartz crystals can be found all over the planet. There are three main areas in the world where they are mined: Brazil, Madagascar, and Mt. Ida in Arkansas. Some crystals contain inclusions, such as streaks, water bubbles, lines, metallic flakes, rainbows and clouds. Many spiritual teachers and healers believe that these types of inclusions actually enhance the crystals metaphysical properties.
From a metaphysical standpoint, the quartz crystal represents the 5 elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether.
Crystals grow deep in the earth and form much of the earth’s crust, yet crystals, like the element air, allow light to pass through them. Crystals are fiery in that they have piezoelectric properties yet they are watery in their hexagonal molecular structure which resembles snowflakes, and in their ice-like appearance.
Crystals are sometimes described in metaphysical traditions as expressions of the element of Ether or Spirit, concepts associated with Universal Life Force Energy and other ideas about the fundamental energy that sustains life and the universe.
Quartz is a piezoelectric material, which means that if you place charges on its surface, it causes mechanical stress in the crystal and activates properties in the crystal that mechanically act like a tuning fork with a natural resonant frequency.
A Lemurian Seed Quartz crystal is an integral component of Orgone energy devices because once the resin cures around the crystal, those piezoelectric properties are activated and the Quartz is described within orgone practices as an oscillator that can influence the surrounding energies associated with the device. The metals/copper are traditionally described as helping to direct or transform the energy within these devices.
Orgone device benefits are often described by practitioners as including sleep improvement, lucid dreamscapes, balancing mood, more energy, helping with EMF emissions, deepening meditation periods and helping with visualizations, intentions and manifestation practices. These are reported or metaphysical uses and should not be understood as scientifically established health effects.
The Quartz crystal is available virtually everywhere on the planet. Either natural or tumbled, they’re extremely powerful tools in metaphysical practices involving clearing ones chakras, healing, meditation, spiritual growth, and generally balancing and toning the whole body’s electromagnetic field.
By nature, quartz has useful electrical and piezoelectric properties and is widely used in technology, including timing components, television and radio communication, and computers. These technological applications are based on the physical properties of quartz and are separate from metaphysical claims about crystal energy.
Crystals actually grow in the Earth, although this growth process is very slow indeed. Their growth occurs under geological conditions involving factors such as temperature, pressure, and the availability of mineral-rich fluids.
Nature has placed vast deposits of these crystals in the deep levels under the Earth in many locations. Some metaphysical traditions also describe Quartz crystals as “Akashic record” holders of the Earth because of ideas about their ability to store or retain information.
Quartz crystals vibrate at a very controlled vibratory rate, and many metaphysical traditions associate these vibrations with focused intention and personal energy practices. According to many metaphysical beliefs, with concentrated intention we can use the symbolic or energetic qualities of Quartz crystals as part of healing practices for ourselves and others.
Ultimately, the body heals itself; it’s made that way. The point of all healing processes, non-medical or medical, is to make the conditions better so the body can heal itself easier. Quartz is traditionally used by practitioners to support practices intended to balance the energy of the body and ease tension.
Once you have your Quartz crystal, you can clear it of all the vibrations and influences it has picked up along the way. Some hold it under running water for at least one minute while visualizing the water washing away all the impure vibrations it has picked up. Other ways that I recommend and utilize are a good sun cleanse, a moon charge, and then letting them sit in an Orgone accumulator while playing healing musical frequencies like 528Hz, 432 Hz, Solfeggio frequencies and Tibetan Singing Bowls.
Some people also bury it in the ground for 24 hours. In metaphysical practices, this is believed to allow the crystal to connect with or absorb the Earth’s energy and strengthen its energetic qualities.
Quartz crystals are natural formations of the Earth that have been valued across many cultures and traditions. People may appreciate them for their beauty, symbolism, geological properties, or role in personal and metaphysical practices.
