Clear Quartz - a master healer

The word 'crystal' comes from the Greek word for ice, as it was believed that clear quartz was water that had frozen so deeply that it would always remain solid.

Ancient Romans use to believe that the transparent and icy quartz gets solidify eventually. Rich women use to hold the balls of clear quartz in their hands so that the quartz will keep them cool during the hot summer season. Also, ancient Romans used to carve the clear quartz and place the rock in signet rings and they use to wear them on their fingers to get the cooling benefits from the rock.

The solar refraction power of the clear quartz has been used by the people from many centuries, including the ancient Lemuria and Atlantis. During the 1900s the demand for high-quality quartz crystals accelerated so rapidly that mining operations around the world were unable to supply them in adequate quantities.

The first historical documentation of crystals originated from the Ancient Sumerians (c. 4500- c. 2000 BC). The Sumerians used crystals in their magical formulas. Writings dating back as far as 400 B.C. that make observations about the powers different crystals emit. Often if a negative incident occurred a specific stone would be used in an attempt to counteract the negative effect. This was done by wearing amulets or other talismans around the neck with specific stones, which were used to bring about a desired effect. The origins of crystal healing is tied to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, India, Ancient Greece, or Ancient Rome. Ancient Egyptians mined for crystals and used them to make jewelry. Crystals or gemstones were also used in practice, for their metaphysical properties. Specifically, they used crystals as aids for health and protection.

Many ancient cultures have different meanings for clear quartz, Japan naming it the ‘perfect jewel’, because they believed it symbolised peace, purity and patience. Even though quartz makes up a huge portion of the Earth’s surface, there are only three places in the world that have enough high-quality crystal to warrant mining- Brazil, Madagascar, and Mt. Ida Mountain ranges of Arkansas.
