Quartz, aka silicon dioxide, is the most common mineral on the planet, and as such, comes in a wide array of formations and colors. Clear quartz is the most common and is also known as white quartz or milky quartz when it has an abundance of interior veils and planes. Often points will have a mixture of different clarities throughout the crystal. Quartz crystals are judged on their clarity, luster, and overall condition of the stone, with the higher degrees of clarity being more valuable. Clear quartz is the most common tool in the mineral kingdom, as well as the most versatile. I like to call it the general practitioner of the crystal world as quartz works with all chakras. Although chemically the same, quartz from different regions vibrates with subtle differences. Brazilian quartz has bright energy which washes over you revitalizing your spirit. Its energy washes over you like a waterfall or spring shower. Brazilian quartz also has an amazing energy perfect for healing work with its soft heart energies.

Technically speaking, this pretty sweetie from Corinto, Brazil, would be considered a lower grade of quartz.  She has a number of bumps and bruises on her exterior, while her interior is filled with ethereal white mists.  Regardless of any commercial judgments made on her form, this crystal is remarkable and quite lovely.  Surprisingly large, this crystal has a sparkling and bright energy enhanced by the glimmers of rainbows from her interior.  Her faces are covered in glyphs, and you'll even find a record keeper or two. 

The crystal measures 3" x 2.6" x 2" and weighs 12oz.

Quartz attracts and enables you to use more life force energy. Have it around you, on you, or in elixir form, in you! Quartz seeks to bring balance on all our bodies’ levels. Quartz has the ability to receive, store and send energy, this makes it a powerful manifestation tool.

Hold/gaze into the crystal, put your thought/need (what you wish to manifest) into the crystal, the crystal receives the thought (and the feeling behind the thought) then stores and transmits those thoughts and feelings into the ethers. Thus, even while you’re not thinking about that particular manifestation, the crystal is still putting it out. Thus drawing your manifestation towards you at a much greater rate than before. Power tools, you have to love ‘em!

Many refer to this process as programming; many books state that a crystal can hold only one program. They have just found a way to store terabytes of data into a single bubble that makes up the mist you see in the Quartz. My feeling is that Quartz crystals can in fact hold and run more programs than we could give in a life time! Quartz is one of the most flexible crystal tools around. It is very responsive to our intent, what you intend is what you get, to this point it is also one of the most powerful tools and should be treated as such.

A crystal that has pyramidal or triangular shaped symbols that are either engraved into or are raised on one or more of a crystal faces is called a Record Keeper (RK) or Recorder. These symbols are not easily seen and usually need to be searched out by looking at the crystal in a bright light while closely examining the faces. It is believed that the Record Keeper is one of the most sacred crystals because it holds the wisdom and knowledge of the universe. When a person is properly attuned to a Record Keeper, this knowledge is readily made available. This knowledge is ancient knowledge and contains profound secrets and esoteric knowledge of the whole of the Higher Consciousness. It takes an open mind and a pure heart to access this knowledge.
