Quartz Crystal Point
This freestanding quartz crystal point has been cut from material mined in South Africa.
In its purest form, quartz is colourless and transparent. This material is also known as rock crystal.
The name came about during the late Middle Ages and was used to differentiate clear quartz from a new material known as colourless glass. The glass was known as crystal glass.
Quartz acts as a prism, so by looking through this crystal at just the right angle, you can see the different colours of white light. Hold the quartz crystal horizontally up towards natural daylight (or towards your computer screen). Bring it close to your eye and rotate it very slowly. As you look slightly downwards, you'll see a spectrum of colours.
When used for its healing properties, quartz amplifies the energy of other crystals. This makes it a great choice for crystal grids.
Please bear in mind that when quartz is cut into shapes such as these, it's not cut and polished to the same standard as gemstone.
This quartz crystal is being offered at a slightly reduced price because it has a minute chip on the edge adjacent to the base, which can be seen in our second photo.
