Quartz and the Healing Power of Crystals

In the hierarchy of crystals used in spiritual healing nothing stands above Quartz. The healing powers of quartz have long been known. Since the time of the legendary Atlantis no stone has been more revered for its crystal healing properties than Quartz.

To the shaman and metaphysical healer quartz is the quintessential healing stone. Quartz crystals possess all of the properties the practitioner of Crystal Healing seeks. Whether that is the Reiki Master, the Shaman or the acupuncturist who uses needles that have been coated with quartz. Futurist Arthur C. Clarke the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, once said that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Even science recognizes the unique and amazing abilities of Quartz Crystals.

The crystalline structure of quartz transmits electricity and radio frequencies. It is why Quartz is used in radios and other electronic devices. And why scientists are experimenting with Quartz and other crystals as sources of potentially unlimited alternative energy. The “Dilithum” Crystals that powered the warp engines of Star Trek’s famed Starship Enterprise, and the almost magical crystals that were the foundation of Kryptonian science in the Superman movies, are probably not as farfetched as it may seem, and were more than likely inspired by the very real energy transmutation abilities of quartz crystals.

Healing properties of Quartz

Mustika Pearls and Bezoar Stones are powerful mystical stones and gems that have been used by Shamans for centuries. They possess the same basic structural elements as Quartz crystals, and they share the mysterious beauty and many of the healing and metaphysical properties of quartz crystals.

There are many different types of Quartz Crystals, each with its own unique healing abilities. They affect different parts of the body and help with different ailments. For example, crystal healers use rose quartz for headaches, heart problems, and kidney disease.

While Clear Quartz is used to draw out pain, return clarity of consciousness, and to generally amplify all healing energies. But all Quartz Crystals have the ability to harmonize with and realign the vibrations of the body, returning balance. That is what makes quartz crystals and their Silicate cousins the Mustika Pearls and Bezoar Stones, so effective in healing. Most disease states, but especially mental disorders, and neurological problems can be linked to some kind of “chemical” or “Neurotransmitter” imbalance. The influence of quartz crystals can restore these imbalances.

The electro-magnetic properties of quartz are largely due to the base of its crystalline structure being made up of Silica. Silica is a natural occurring glass. Silica is found in some level in almost every healing crystal, Chakra stone, or ritualistic gem. It is the basic molecular structure of the Mustika Pearls and Bezoar Stones.

Silica also shares it chemical and molecular structure with Silicon, also known for its electro-magnetic properties (does the name Silicon Valley mean anything?). That’s right the same basic element that we rely on to communicate and transmit all of this information worldwide; that is allowing you to read this very webpage; may also help us communicate with and tap into the fabric of the primal energies of the universe.

Once again science and spirituality are not so distant after all. It was Albert Einstein himself who said “The more I come to understand the universe, the more I am convinced of the presence of a superior reasoning power. There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; or you can live as if everything is a miracle.”
