Crystals are used in many of our everyday applications because of their ability to transfer and transmute energy. Incredible amounts of data can be stored on quartz; as recently as March 2016 scientists announced that they have created a quartz coin which can store an incredible 360 terabytes of data. A movie can be stored on a quartz crystal; your computer features a liquid crystal display; earphones and mobile phones all use quartz crystals to transfer data; sonar uses quartz crystals; the best oscillators in the world use quartz crystals; cigarette lighters use quartz crystals to generate that spark; even the quartzite silicon chip uses – you guessed it – quartz! It is no surprise that quartz is so useful to transfer and store energy. For thousands of years quartz has been used by indigenous societies to transfer energy and to heal people. Clear quartz soothes, balances and harmonies us: it assists us physically, mentally and emotionally and this is why it is called the Master Stone. Due to its clarity and hardness, clear quartz is a very stable transducer. It is thus able to accumulate white light to the body almost perfectly. White is the most beneficial color to us, as it contains all the colors, or vibrations, of the spectrum. White light also has a protective capacity so clear quartz also assists us in this way. It helps us to attune to the subtle vibrations, the subtle bodies and the subtle energies. It strengthens our bio-field and all our energies in a comprehensive way. Quartz can amplify happiness and reduce stress. It helps you to focus on the positive and to eliminate the negative. It helps us to attune to higher consciousness emotions, like compassion, and for this reason many people choose to wear it over their hearts. It aids us in our individual personal progress and guides us in our role in the evolutionary progress of humanity.
