Stone: Quartz, Crystal
Color: Colorless
Associated Element: Water
Energy: Projective/Receptive
Magickal Powers/Uses: Crystal quartz is also referred to
as rock quartz. It is the clear form of quartz that is not colored
by the inclusion of other minerals and has not been transformed
by heat. Crystal quartz is an energy capacitor, alone and in conjunction
with other stones. It is said to become electrically charged when
squeezed, and is used in watches and radios because it vibrates
at a constant frequency when an electric current is run through
it. A natural quartz point is particularly effective for directing
energy flow, and is sometimes placed on the tip of a wand. Points
of crystal quartz can also be used to designate the parameter of
a magick circle. Crystal quartz is a stone of psychism, scrying,
protection, energy projection, and healing. It is symbolic of the
goddess, the moon, and the sea. Once believed to be ice, it has
been used in a spiritual capacity for thousands of years by Native
North and Central Americans, the people of Australia and the Pacific,
ancient Greeks, the people of Mexico, and those in the British Isles.
It is incredibly abundant and is found throughout the world.

Stone: Quartz, Rose
Color: Pink
Associated Element: Water
Energy: Receptive
Magickal Powers/Uses: Rose quartz is primarily a stone of
love and peace. It is associated with the heart chakra and is used
to attract and sustain love and fidelity. Rose quartz acts to reveal
self-love and unconditional love of others. It is calming, balancing,
and soothing, and is an excellent choice for use in overcoming the
grief of losing a loved one. It helps to heal emotional wounds by
fostering serenity and love. Rose quartz is a member of the quartz
family, and its translucent pink color comes from the inclusion
of iron and titanium within the crystal. It occurs in India, Germany,
Madagascar, Brazil, and the United States.

Stone: Quartz, Smoky
Color: Grey/brown
Associated Element: Earth
Energy: Receptive
Magickal Powers/Uses: Smoky quartz is a form of quartz that
is thought to have been colored by exposure to natural radiation,
as it is most often found among other rocks that display low levels
of radioactivity. Much smoky quartz available today is artificially
irradiated crystal quartz, and is often very dark brown or black.
A natural smoky quartz will nearly always be a translucent light
to medium brown-gray. Its color associates it with grounding and
protection. It is also helpful in dispelling negative energies,
clearing emotional and mental blockages, overcoming depression,
and fostering greater joy in life. It can be used as an aid in overcoming
chemical addictions and mental disorders. As a dissolver of negativity
and blockages, smoky quartz is naturally perceived as a learning
and creativity enhancer. It is found in Switzerland, the United
States, and Brazil.
