Clear Healing Crystal

Clear quartz is one of the most common crystals used for healing. Because of its colorlessness, which makes it neutral, it is very suitable for advanced healers who make use of color pranas to produce faster and more effective healing results such as Advanced Pranic Healers. Having no color, energy healers and spiritual practitioners often make use of clear quarts in their healing and practices, as it is easy to program and use.

The name of this crystal has come from a German word “quarz,” “zwarc” meaning rock crystal, which was called “twarc” in Middle High German that probably has a West Slavic source, meaning “hard.”

In ancients Greek a perfect clear quartz crystal was called a Crystalos or “Permanent Ice” as it resembled a piece of frozen ice that would never melt.

Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals in the earth, which is made up of a continuous framework of SiO4. There are many different types and varieties of quartz crystals, being used in jewelry industry and healing business.

While clear quartz or rock quartz refers to the colorless types of quartz, common colored varieties of quartz include citrine, rose quartz, amethyst, agate, onyx, jasper, smoky quartz and milky quartz.

Quartz is the most common material believed to be the mystical substance “maban” among the Aboriginals of Australia, which is a material that is magical and the shamans and spiritual elders supposedly derive their magical powers from. It also can be found in passage tomb cemeteries in Europe. In Irish, quartz is called “grian cloch” meaning “Sun Stone.”

Clear quartz crystals come in different forms, sizes and purities. They can be found as tumbled rocks and small points to big clusters and generators. The bigger and purer, the more powerful they become!
