Quartz crystals
Closeup of a crystal from our crystal mine in Bonsecours, Quebec, Canada. Quartz crystals interact with all forms of energy, which they are able to receive, store, transform, amplify and transmit. This is due to their innate capacity to vibrate at many different frequencies.
Specimen from our crystal mine. The use of quartz crystals is as old as the human race: they have long been used in the form of arrowheads, knife blades and fire lighters. The original ‘power tool,’ crystals were used as talismans, to predict the future and transmit healing energy.
Since the 1940s, scientists have developed thousands of applications for quartz and quartz crystals. Quartz crystals give functionality to all our modern technology: computers, cell phones, televisions, radios, security cameras, electronic games, ultrasound, to name but a few! Microchips made of pure silicon - a product of quartz crystals - are the brains of every electronic device in existence. From watches to calculators to satellites to computers, these small chips allow for the convenience that makes so many tasks easier! Photo: rough (natural) specimen from our crystal mine.
Quartz crystals are composed of 99.9% silica and this mineral is structured in a perfectly geometric network of interconnected SiO4 tetrahedra (four-sided pyramids). When we examine a quartz crystal, we are immediately struck by their amazing, crystalline appearance. It is sometimes hard to believe that these crystals are shaped, facetted and polished by natural forces alone! Photo: rough (natural) specimen from our crystal mine.
The structure of a quartz crystal is always hexagonal, i.e. six-sided. They form as individual points or as clusters; crystals from our crystal mine are primarily found in clusters. Photo: rough (natural) specimen from our mine on a rotating base.
Quartz crystals from our mine are sold via email only. Our crystals have only been cleaned; otherwise they are presented exactly as found in our crystal mine. Our beautiful crystals are approximately 300 million years old!
Quartz crystals can be used to potentize elixirs. Here a crystal from our crystal mine is activating all the other gemstones to create a gem essence.
Beautiful museum-quality specimens from our crystal mine.
