Note:  In ancient times, rock crystal was believed to be ice that never melted. The Greek word for crystal, krystallos means ice.  In Rome, the belief that quartz was permanently frozen ice inspired the Romans to carve spheres or rings out of quartz to give a "cooling" effect during warm months. Much work was done on colours and prisms, thanks to Sir Isaac Newton and a natural quartz crystal. He discovered that refracting sunlight through the quartz allowed him to study the colours of the rainbow in great detail. Also, quartz is piezoelectric and pyroelectric, which means it can turn pressure or heat into electromagnetic energy. It is used today in all sorts of functions, such as watches, microphones, computer chips and other electronic circuitry. 

Quartz is a master cleanser, said to dispel negativity and clear away any negative energy. It can purify on a spiritual, mental and physical level. 

You can meditate with your quartz crystal to program it with your intention, and the quartz will amplify or intention out into the world.  It is believed that quartz enhances the power of prayer and affirmation. This amplifying attribute makes quartz an invaluable stone for healers, and those who wish to attract love, prosperity or whatever you program the crystals to do.  If used in conjunction with other stones, it will enhance and strengthen the energies of those minerals as well. Quartz is supremely beneficial for manifesting and channelling energy. 

Considered a master healing crystal, quartz will amplify healing energies, and help cleanse the etheric body of negativity. It is said that quartz can aid in stabilizing dizziness, or motion sickness, and that it can balance the metabolism.
