What Is Clear Quartz Made Of?

Clear Quartz is a type of Quartz, which is a silicate mineral primarily composed of silicon dioxide.

The Quartz family of minerals encompasses a wide range of stones, including sub-sets such as Chalcedony gems like Jasper, Agate, and Carnelian. 

Quartz Crystals can occur in many colours, such as transparent Clear Quartz (or Rock Crystal), grey-brown Smoky Quartz, purple Amethyst Quartz (or Purple Quartz), golden-yellow Citrine and Yellow Quartz (or Golden Healer Quartz), Amethyst Crystals with Citrine (known as Ametrine Quartz) and red Hematoid Quartz (or Fire Quartz). 

Rose Quartz is the baby pink variety of this versatile mineral, and is sometimes thus referred to as Pink Quartz. 

Quartz Crystals can also show striking mineral inclusions to make Included Quartz, as in Quartz with Black Tourmaline, Rutilated Quartz, Dendritic Quartz, and Garden Quartz (also known as Scenic Quartz or Lodolite). 

Where Does Clear Quartz Come From?

Clear Quartz can be found in many locations worldwide including the USA, India, and Brazil. 

This particular piece was sourced from the Antsirabe region of Madagascar. 

Clear Quartz History

Clear Quartz has a long and storied history. 

Where Did Quartz Get Its Name From?

Quartz’s name comes from the German language, however, the Ancient Greeks referred to what is now known as Clear Quartz with their word for ‘ice cold’. 

Prominent thinkers of the time believed the mineral to have been created from ice due to its clarity and transparency. 

Clear Quartz is also referred to as Rock Crystal. 

Clear Quartz Crystal Balls

In Medieval Europe, clairvoyants used crystal balls made of Clear Quartz for spiritual and psychic purposes.

Throughout history, the art of clairvoyancy has been both prized and feared. Central to this ability, where information is gleaned from senses other than our mundane sight, sound, touch, taste and smell, is the crystal ball.  

Through crystal gazing, or scrying, fortune tellers profess to see important images in the crystal, which are then interpreted as visions of the past or future.

Druids in Celtic Britain used these techniques of divination, as well as famous figures such as Doctor John Dee, adviser to Queen Elizabeth I, a man of science who lauded the spiritual powers of his quartz crystal ball.

Clear Quartz In Ancient Civilisations

Clear Quartz has been found in remains from ancient civilisations all over the world. 

In Ancient Rome, it was used to make signet rings, while in Ancient Egypt it was placed in burial chambers for the dead. 

The Romans, believing in the idea that Quartz was made of ice, crafted Quartz crystal balls to hold in their hands to cool them down on a hot day. 

Many cultures over the years have used Clear Quartz as a talisman to ward off evil spirits and demons, and more recently, New Age philosophy enthusiasts have crafted crystal skulls from Clear Quartz for this purpose.

The transparent, clear variety of Quartz is renowned for its range of powerful crystal healing properties, and is purported to have a highly cleansing aura.

Clear Quartz Energy

Clear Quartz is incredibly popular in the crystal healing world, as it is believed to be one of the most powerful amplifiers of energy and intention of all crystals.

A Clear Quartz Healing Crystal is often used in crystal grids to amplify the energy of the main focus stone, by surrounding it in Clear Quartz crystals.

Clear Quartz is also a potent cleansing crystal used to cleanse energy from other crystals: often, people will use a Clear Quartz geode and place smaller crystals in this geode to cleanse them.
