The second most common mineral in the Earth's crust, quartz in its crystalline form is nevertheless considered a precious stone with many special qualities, some of them spiritual in nature.
“Quartz can be energized by placing it in the palm of the hand,” claim the authors of the Catalog of the Unexplained.
“It is viewed as the master healer and can store, neutralize, and regulate energy. When quartz is placed on the body’s chakras, it can synchronize with the body’s internal energy.
“This crystal is often placed on a ritual altar to balance and harmonize the surrounding energies before a ceremony is performed.”
