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.
