Rock-in' Tuesday

Merry Meet!

It's my favorite day of the week, Rock-in' Tuesday! Today we are going to chat about an exceptionally versatile stone, Clear Quartz! I will also list some of the more popular colored quartz at the end.

Clear Quartz (or Quartz Crystal):
Because of it's varying colors and inclusions, it is ruled by both the Sun and Moon, and relates to the elements Fire and Water. A stone that wears many hats, it can be used for Healing, Spiritual Development, and Lactation, among other things.

Quartz crystal can be placed on painful parts of the body to promote healing, it can also safely be added to infusions or tinctures to make them more effective. Quartz can also be used to cure headache. 

On the topic of health, Quartz Crystals can also be helpful for lactating mothers. Have the mother carry a quartz crystal (perhaps in a necklace so it is near the breasts) or place a crystal on the baby to help lactation and digestion of breast milk.

Clear Quartz can also be used on the altar to amplify your magick. It can be placed under pillows to aid in psychic communication during sleep, and it can be used as an instrument in scrying.  

A few other notable types of crystal quartz:
Herkimer Diamonds, which are small double terminated quartz crystals can be used in place of diamonds.
Rose Quartz, a love stone, promotes peace and fidelity in relationships.
Smokey Quartz can help elevate mood.

Just a reminder, I am not a doctor. If you have serious health conditions, you should seek the attention of a licensed medical professional. I truly believe in the power of stones for healing, but I also believe in medical attention when it is necessary.
