According to its chemical properties, quartz is silicon dioxide, which also contains aluminum and iron. The stone has increased hardness; in this property it is second only to corundum, diamond and topaz. Pure quartz (rock crystal) has a high degree of thermal conductivity, so it is cool to the touch.

This type of mineral is very stable against various chemicals and strong acids; only alkali or hydrofluoric acid can dissolve it. Quartz begins to melt at a temperature of 1700 degrees Celsius.

This gem has been known to people since ancient times. In primitive times, it served as the basis for the manufacture of household items and tools, as well as for the production of jewelry. Its healing properties and features are described in many scientific works by ancient philosophers.

A little history

The mineral has been known to mankind since ancient times. Our distant ancestors admired the beautiful tints of its color. Descriptions of the gem and its magical and healing properties are found in almost every culture. Scientists believe that the mineral received its current name from the German “querklufterz”. This word is translated as “transversely arranged veins.” The name of the mineral fully reflects its structure. Other researchers believe that the word "quartz" comes from the Old Cornish "cross-course-spor". This term is translated exactly the same as the previous one.

Crystalline quartz was an object of worship for people living in ancient India, China, and Egypt. Despite the fact that the material is incredibly durable and difficult to process, craftsmen have learned to create true masterpieces from it. The material is ideal for creating beautiful tableware, interior items, and jewelry. Things made from it have been found during numerous excavations. In the Middle Ages, quartz crystals were widely used for the production of church utensils, sculptures, and jewelry. Most of these things were kept in the royal treasuries.

In the 16th century, vessels of various shapes made from natural quartz were especially popular in European countries. Gilding, precious diamonds, emeralds, and rubies were used for their decoration. Many famous historical figures had a special passion for the magical gem:

1. The ancient Roman emperor Nero simply adored clear quartz. Two stunning cups, made especially for him, can still be admired today in the exhibition of national treasures of France. Numerous photographs of beautiful vessels are presented in specialized books.
2. During excavations in the tomb of the famous Pharaoh Tutankhamun, an astonishing discovery was discovered - a prototype of modern sunglasses with bronze temples. The products were created from marion - black translucent quartz.
3. Peter I was the owner of a truly exotic little thing - a samovar made of transparent rock crystal. You can still admire this beautiful masterpiece. It is kept in the Armory among other equally stunning handicraft creations.

Scientists still cannot agree on when the first scientific description of the gem was created. This is due to the fact that numerous types of quartz were discovered at different times. They were often confused with each other.

In what varieties can quartz be found?

Quartz has a huge number of varieties, each of which differs in its structure, color and energy. Let's consider all of them in detail further:

• Black quartz (also called morion). It is an opaque or semi-transparent mineral, very similar in appearance to resin. Jewelers use exclusively annealed varieties of quartz, which change their color to yellow. Traditionally, Morion patronizes alchemists and magicians.
• Pink quartz is an opaque pastel pink mineral. This is one of the types of rock crystal, which has enormous healing and magical properties: it will protect its owner (or mistress) from insults and give a harmonious mood.
• Green quartz (another name is prazem). Translucent stone with a bright light green color. Jewelry is actively produced from it. The stone eliminates fatigue, reduces stress levels and gives a person peace.
• Quartz is milky white in color - when the temperature of the stone changes, it begins to release ozone, which helps clear carbon dioxide from the lungs. The mineral is capable of retaining heat for a long time, for this reason it is often used for baths.
• Smoky-colored quartz (also called rauchtopaz). Its main shade is brown, and its tones can vary in a wide range of colors. Rauchtopazes are very popular among jewelers; there is a huge amount of jewelry with them. Suspicious and very sensitive individuals should avoid this mineral.
• Purple quartz (also known as amethyst). It is a precious translucent stone with purple hues. Amethysts are not characterized by a very high price, because in nature they are not too difficult to obtain. It is believed that the stone has a number of positive properties: it copes with female infertility and normalizes sexual desire in men.
• Rutile quartz – acts as silicon dioxide. Due to its golden-red color with the addition of fine crystalline inclusions, it is the most expensive of all types of gemstones. He is credited with strong love spell properties, as well as protection from evil forces. Patronizes creative and inspired individuals.

How to spot a fake

The easiest way to distinguish a real mineral from a fake is to show it to a gemologist, that is, a specialist in the study of the properties, composition and origin of precious stones. Such a master has the appropriate tools, experience and knowledge, with the help of which he will determine whether the stone is real or not. Another option is to simply purchase quartz from a specialty store.

If a person still wants to learn how to distinguish a fake on his own, then he needs to pay attention to the main points:

1. Too high quality. In nature, it is very rare to find stones that are free of any defects - inclusions, cracks. If a person is offered quartz of large sizes, without defects and for little money, then it is almost certainly a fake. But even if the price is high, you need to think about it before making such a purchase. High quality stones always have a certificate of conformity and are sold in specialized stores.
2. Hardness. The mineral has a higher density than glass. Consequently, it leaves a noticeable scratch on the glass. However, you should not use this verification method unless necessary, as it has destructive properties.
3. Low thermal conductivity. Due to their high density, most stones, including quartz, feel cooler to the touch than glass. You can place the stone between your palms for a few seconds, if after that it remains cold, it means the mineral is natural.

It is necessary to choose a stone based on internal sensations and the help of a specialist, then the likelihood of purchasing a fake will drop several times.

Healing properties of quartz stone

1. The mineral has a positive effect on the state of the respiratory system. There is a belief that if a person with a cold keeps a piece of jewelry with quartz or a small piece of this mineral with him, his illness will quickly pass.
