White quartz: properties and spiritual meaning

White quartz is one of the best known minerals. When we want to start in the world of gems or precious stones, a white quartz is one of the first pieces we buy. This is so because its use is widespread and, furthermore, it is a mineral that does not compromise too much due to its neutral color, its classic beauty and its properties.

In this video I reveal some curious white quartz properties and other minerals:

White quartz: properties of the mineral

First of all, we must clarify a terminological issue. White quartz, rock crystal, milky quartz, and clear quartz are the same. Rose quartz or smoky quartz are other gems. Regarding the chemical composition, it is as if all quartz were cousins; they are different stones, with different qualities and different functions, but yes they have a small part of common chemical composition.

On the other hand, white or transparent quartz has a more direct relationship, we could say that they are like brothers, with tourmaline quartz or rutilated quartz. Tourmaline quartz is a variety of white quartz. that has incrustations of black tourmaline, another mineral, inside it. For its part, rutilated quartz is also a variety of white quartz, which has rutile crystals, another mineral, which can have golden or red colors. These variations are the result of the different nature of the deposits. Being different types of minerals, they will have different properties and functions.

As you can see, the quartz family is vast. White quartz is composed of silica dioxide and it is transparent or white in color because it has air bubbles in its structure. Depending on whether it has more or fewer bubbles, the piece in question will be more or less transparent, but we are talking about the same type of quartz.

If you are just starting out in the world of gems, white quartz is the best piece to start your collection and to experiment with the magic and power of crystals.

White quartz: properties and meaning

The properties of white quartz are wonderful. The shamans of the Amerindian tribes called white quartz “living rock” and used it to be “men or women of power”. With this example we can see how quartz has always been valued for its properties. We should all have a piece of this gem in our lives.

It will help you channel, enhance or balance your energy or that of the space in which it is located. It has an amplifying power. That is, if you put other minerals together with white quartz, the quartz will be amplifying the qualities of the minerals that surround it. Eliminate negative thoughts, raise the vibration frequency and increase psychic gifts. Increase spiritual understanding and enhance inspiration. You can schedule your quartz with an intention so that it is amplified. To program your quartz, hold it in your hands thinking about a specific desire that you have and you will be programming the quartz to help you in that task.

White quartz: properties according to the way it is cut

The shape with which the stone is carved also determines its properties and functions. We will find white quartz carved in many different ways for two reasons: its use is common and widespread, and it has great hardness that allows it to be cut in different ways without breaking it.

All forms of quartz have the properties already mentioned, but also each of them have some peculiarities. It is worth stopping for a moment to better choose our first quartz.

white quartz druse: It is a set of points of crystals joined together, which form very powerful agglomerations. The quartz druse is a powerful transmitter and amplifier of positive energies. I recommend it especially for workplaces, since it balances the energy field, protects from radiation and is very healing.white quartz pyramids: the pyramid shape dates back to ancient cultures. Its use is recommended to treat pain, especially back pain. It is believed that if you place a white quartz pyramid in the area where do you have muscle pain and make the sun shine directly on it, you will feel great relief.white quartz point: Without a doubt, this is my favorite shape, for its beauty, its uses and its properties. It is perfect to have anywhere in the house. I especially like to place it at the head of the bed because harmonize rest.

tumbled quartz: it is simply a polished piece of quartz. It is the one that I recommend carrying, for example, in your pocket. You can hold it in your hand or caress it when you feel that you are in an energetically charged environment or simply feel stress.

Also, if you think this mineral suits you, you can buy or make jewelry with a small inlay of white quartz.

White quartz cleaning

To clean it simply You have to pass a little water. You could have it out on a full moon night, but that’s up to you. It is not necessary to clean the stones every month. Enjoy your white quartz!

How to tell if white quartz is authentic

As you can see, white quartz is a stone with thousands of uses and properties. To choose yours, I recommend that you visit a specialized store. Touch several pieces, feel them in your hands and allow yourself to fall in love with one of them. Try not to decide with your mind. Let yourself be guided by the heart.

Since quartz is a very common mineral, it is easy to get caught in a poke. To know that it is an authentic quartz, there are two little tricks. The first is based on its hardness since the authentic one is very hard and resistant. If you give her a little tap, nothing will happen to the part. The second is based on the way it reflects light. If it hits the light directly and it’s a genuine piece of quartz, it will reflect colors and will not absorb light or make it opaque.
