Metaphysical & Healing Properties

Clear quartz embodies the white ray and resonates a White Spiritual Light, connecting you to your Divine mind and allowing the user to gain more clarity. In meditation it clears the mind of distractions, aids concentration and unblocks memory.  It's ability to store energy (and information) is one of its defining features; it acts like a vast library (or record keeper)whilst also functioning as a regulator of such energies as it has to release.

There are many forms of Clear Quartz, each with its own particular quality, but they form the very foundation of the crystal world and have the almost chameleon like ability to adapt themselves to any intention since they can be so easily programmed by the user. This makes Clear Quartz, the most versatile of all stones.

History 

Clear Quartz is another stone that possesses an ancient history with humanity being used by the Sumerians who cut and engraved Quartz cylinder seals which were used later as ring seals. Clear Quartz had a role to play in the advent of writing for the Sumerians used it as a canvass on which to write - presumably only the most valuable documents required the use of so highly a valued medium. It was also used as a stamp to make an impression on (the ubiquitous) clay tablets.

Egyptians also made use of Clear Quartz, fashioning beads, scarabs and other jewellery items out of it.

** The Tree of Life is a popular, universal and sacred symbol that represents multiple different meanings across many cultures, religions and mystical traditions. The symbol does not belong to one specific culture as it has been used all over the world for centuries.  

While it symbolises many different things, there are some common themes it represents such as:

• Interconnectedness of everything
• Immortality and Rebirth: The Tree of Life is a symbol for rebirth as trees lose their leaves and seem to be dead during winter, but then new buds appear and new, fresh leaves unfurl during the spring. It symbolises immortality because even as the tree grows old, it creates seeds that carry its essence so it lives on through new saplings.
• The tree of life diagram is used as a ‘map’ to understand more about our origins, the unknown, infinite energy, limitless light and Divine emanations beyond our mental comprehension
• Connection with Ancestry, Cosmic Origins, Family, and New Life
• Growth, strength and peace.
