Welcome to the third edition of our Gemstone Friday series! Each week, we explore a unique gemstone, diving into its composition, origins, and fascinating benefits. Whether you’re a collector, a jewellery enthusiast, or simply curious, there’s something here for everyone.

This week, our spotlight is on Clear Quartz, often referred to as the Master Healer. Let’s explore its composition, origins, and the many benefits it offers.

What is Clear Quartz?

Clear Quartz is a silicon dioxide mineral (SiO₂) that forms naturally in various environments worldwide. It is known for its transparency, durability, and ability to amplify energy. With a hardness rating of 7 on the Mohs scale, it is one of the most resilient and versatile gemstones.

Clear Quartz is often used in jewellery, crystal grids, meditation, and even technology due to its piezoelectric properties, meaning it can generate an electric charge under pressure. Its clarity, from fully transparent to slightly milky, makes it a favourite among crystal enthusiasts.

Where is Clear Quartz Found?

Clear Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth, found in various regions worldwide, including:

• Brazil: Home to some of the largest and highest-quality quartz formations.
• Madagascar: Produces stunning, high-clarity Clear Quartz specimens.
• United States: Arkansas is known for its world-class Clear Quartz crystals.
• Switzerland: Famous for its Alpine Quartz, prized for its exceptional clarity.
• India: Produces unique varieties, including rutilated Clear Quartz.

Each location contributes to the gemstone’s diverse formations and energy qualities.
