Clear Quartz Meaning – History

Quartz Crystal gets its name from the Greek “krystallos”, meaning ice. It was thought that Clear Quartz was actually ice formed by the Gods. The word Quartz is also attributed to the German word of Slavic origin “Quarz”, meaning hard.  

In Australian Aboriginal mythology, Quartz Crystal is identified as the mystical substance maban. (The substance from which the shamans and elders derive their magical powers). Ancient Japanese believed Quartz was formed from the breath of a white dragon. They regarded it as representing perfection.

It was commonly located in passage tomb cemeteries throughout Europe. It was also found in burial mounds in the Republic of Ireland. The Irish word for Quartz is “Grian Cloch”, meaning ‘stone of the sun’. Quartz implements were also used in prehistoric times. Since earliest times Quartz was used for various types of hardstone carving, including rock crystal vases and extravagant vessels. The tradition continued to produce highly valued objects. This continued until the mid-19th century when it fell out of fashion.

Since the Middle Ages, Clear Quartz crystal balls still remain as tools to predict the future. According to history, this crystal can counter black magic. Also, to communicate with spirits and other worlds and to perform diagnostic healing.

Quartz Crystal has piezoelectric properties. Early use of this was in phonograph pickups. Today technology uses it as a crystal oscillator.

Here is a very simple Chakra aligning technique using Clear Quartz:

This can be done standing, sitting, or lying down. Any clear Quartz point may be employed for this, but I find one about the size of my big finger ideal. First, cleanse and clear your crystal.
 
Now point your crystal point at an area just below your feet. Then slowly draw it up along the centre line of your body ending just past the top of your head. Often, this is enough to restore balance and harmony. Now tune into your intuition to determine if you need to expand your efforts. If so, reverse direction and follow back down to your feet. The beauty of this is that you can’t overdo it, so just keep repeating until you sense you are back in good order. Under most normal circumstances though, you should find up and down three times to be enough.
 
Some people prefer to loop or snake between their chakras and this is quite acceptable also.
