Quartz is a mineral that’s obtainable from the crust of the earth. It is highly valuable for its enormous usage. Its chemical term is SiO2 (Silica, or silicon dioxide) and is found in igneous, metamorphic as well as sedimentary rocks.
Characteristics of Quartz
Pure quartz, customarily called rock crystal or clear quartz, is colourless, transparent or translucent, and has often been utilized for hard-stone carvings. Its usual colored varieties include citrine, rose quartz, amethyst, smoky quartz, and milky quartz. Many of the stones made from quartz have great healing qualities. Their attributes are pretty varied, and many have powerful as well as effective vibrations.
