History:
The ancient Greeks referred to quartz as krustallos meaning ‘icy cold’ as they believed the clear quartz was a form of permanent ice, so cold it would never thaw. Due to its widespread occurrence clear quartz is included in the legends as well as the creation myths of many cultures. The Japanese word for clear quartz translated roughly as ‘perfect jewel’ because they believed it symbolised space, purity and patience. In South America one of the creation myths involves a cosmic serpent who is the creator of life and who was lead by a clear quartz crystal.
To some of the cultures of central and Southern America clear quartz was seen as a vessel, like an urn for the spirits of their ancestors. This was the origin of the practice of carving clear quartz into skulls for use as religious talismans.
In Scotland and Ireland clear quartz was carved into spheres and used for healing. We are more familiar with spheres of crystal today a crystal balls often used by fortune tellers.
Clear Quartz is aligned with all astrological signs.
