Quartz rock serves as the basis for most of the minerals found in the depths of our planet. The lion's share of ornamental and semi-precious gems is nothing more than a variety of quartz. When talking about the magical or healing properties of this nugget, we cannot mean quartz as such in its pure form. Each of its varieties has an independent name, as well as a completely distinct appearance, properties and features.
History and origin
Quartz is a unique creation of nature, which is the mother rock for the minerals of our planet. This nugget is found anywhere and everywhere, occupying 60% of the Earth's lithosphere. It is not surprising that all ancient nations knew about the existence of this stone, from the Western peoples of the Saxons and Celts, to the Indians and Japanese far in the East.
Of course, without modern chemical research, ancient people would not have been able to find out that most of the gems they found belonged to the quartz family. Therefore, any type of mineral was rightfully considered an independent stone. People considered quartz only to be colorless or pale-colored translucent nuggets. The mineral was highly valued by alchemists and magicians, who carefully studied the properties of each known variety.
Later, when science reached its highest stage of development, scientists discovered new valuable qualities of quartz. Having studied the physical properties of the mineral, people began to use the stone to create optical elements of technology, as well as as a generator of electromagnetic and sound waves in piezoelectric devices. Quartz is used for the manufacture of fire-resistant refractory materials and is used in the production of glass.
In the twentieth century, artificial production of quartz crystals became available to science. A new method of mineral synthesis made it possible to obtain a stone of the desired shape, size, and symmetry, which is very important when creating high-precision devices. Of course, synthetic stone has not bypassed the jewelry industry, because artificial cultivation of the mineral makes it possible to obtain shades that are not characteristic of a natural nugget.
Synthetic quartz
Artificial quartz is produced using the hydrothermal method.
Synthetic mineral has a number of advantages over natural crystal:
- uniformity of impurities, high purity;
- monocrystalline structure, which allows the mineral to be more widely used as piezo-optical quartz;
- variety of colors, the possibility of obtaining shades that are rare or not found at all in nature (minerals of green, blue, dark blue color).
The ability to obtain a mineral of a given color with a certain structure is highly valued in jewelry. In Russia, synthetic quartz is produced in Gus-Khrustalny (Vladimir region), in Yuzhnouralsk.
Place of Birth
Quartz rock is found on all continents of the globe. Many countries mine various types of minerals. Development is carried out using a quarry method or manually. Quartz occurs in dolomites, limestones, and placer rocks. The location of the mineral can be different - mountains, plains, seashores, river deltas. Quartz monomineral sand is of great value for industry.
The following are famous for their large-scale deposits of valuable industrial and jewelry gems:
- Brazil.
- Ukraine.
- Kazakhstan.
- Uruguay.
- Mexico.
- Sri Lanka.
- Madagascar.
- USA.
There are several large quartzite mining zones scattered across Russia: Yakutia, the Urals, Chukotka, and the Caucasus. The mineral is found in the Moscow region, as well as in Priochye.
Physical properties
The chemical basis of quartz is silicon oxide. However, the portion of pure mineral in the earth's interior is only 12%. The remaining nuggets contain impurities that cause a variety of shades. Quartz allows light to pass through, but there are a number of opaque varieties of this mineral. In terms of hardness, quartz is second only to Diamond or Corundum.
| Property | Description |
| Formula | SiO2 |
| Density | 2.6—2.65 g/cm³ |
| Refractive index | 1,544 |
| Hardness | 7 |
| singonia | Trigonal. |
| Kink | Conchoidal. |
| Cleavage | Imperfect. |
| Shine | Glass in solid masses is sometimes greasy. |
| Transparency | Transparent or opaque. |
| Color | Colorless, pink, white, purple, gray, yellow, brown and black. |
Varieties of mineral
The variety of varieties of quartz is due to the ability to come into contact with all nearby elements, regardless of their origin. The combination with manganese, calcium, iron, nickel, chromium and other chemical components gives the newly formed minerals a characteristic color, as well as an appearance unlike others. Thus, the “brainchildren” of quartz become independent subspecies with their own names:
- Citrine. It is considered a semi-precious mineral. The stone is transparent, endowed with a yellow color of various shades.
- Rose quartz. A gem of rich pink color, highly valued by jewelers.
- Chalcedony. A group of minerals, in turn, has many individual varieties. The bulk of the subspecies are opaque minerals, characterized by a characteristic pattern due to various inclusions (sardonyx, agate, onyx).
- Rhinestone. This is quartz in its purest form. The mineral is a transparent, colorless crystal, the only one from the family classified as precious stones.
- Hairy. The crystal has small crystalline inclusions, has a golden tint and a delicate shine. Another name for a stone with rutile crystals is rutile quartz.
- Amethyst. A semi-precious mineral of lilac or violet color, serving as a material for decorating jewelry, as well as a collectible item.
- Morion. A first-class ornamental and semi-precious stone of dark brown or black color, endowed with a matte shine.
- Aventurine. Shimmering quartzite of yellow or brownish-red hue. There are also specimens in gray and blue colors. The mineral is opaque, and its surface is strewn with silver or golden dots, which makes the stone look like a starry sky.
- Rauchtopaz or smoky quartz. Translucent nugget in light shades of gray or brown. The stone is endowed with a slight haze, which is why it gets its name.
- Heliotrope. The gem is blue-green or green with bright red inclusions, for which the mineral is nicknamed bloody jasper. There are samples interspersed with yellow color.
- Sapphire quartz. Transparent gem of a bluish tint.
- Cat's eye. A translucent mineral with a variety of shades (pink, white, gray) and a characteristic vertical feature in the form of a cat’s pupil.
- Hawk and tiger eye. “Eye” gems, brothers of the cat’s eye. They differ from the latter in opacity and color palette - the hawk's eye is blue-blue, and the tiger's eye is endowed with a golden-brown or reddish color.
- Prase. A rare green mineral with a variety of shades - there are stones of gray-green, grass, emerald color. The amount of impurities determines the transparency of the nugget.

With all the variety of shades, nature did not create transparent blue quartz, and similar stones of a green or blue palette are very rare and unique.

Healing properties
It is impossible to generalize the medicinal properties of so many varieties. Each of the stones of quartz origin is special, differing from others not only in appearance, but also in its effect on the human body. Therefore, when describing the healing capabilities of quartz, we are talking about transparent minerals of light shades or colorless stones. These subspecies are considered the closest to “pure” quartz.
The main zones of action of the mineral are the respiratory organs, nervous system, and skin. It is interesting that water infused with quartz has the maximum healing effect.

The magic of mineral
The magical properties of quartz, along with healing abilities, are different for each type of stone. It is impossible to generalize the influence of this or that nugget on a person’s life. Therefore, when we talk about the abilities of a nugget, we mean its most “pure” varieties - transparent or translucent stones of light shades or colorless minerals (rock crystal). The remaining subspecies in mineralogy and esotericism act as independent stones, so each of them is carefully studied and described separately.
First of all, the magic of quartz manifests itself in the sphere of clairvoyance and divination. Rose quartz, together with rock crystal, are guides to the other world, so it is from these nuggets that magic balls are made. In addition, the pink mineral attracts good luck on the love front. This stone, in particular, like the red one, is used to prepare love potions.
Rauchtopaz, also known as smoky quartz, is an amulet for merchants. This mineral makes the owner a strategist, helping to make important, right decisions. But milky crystals are an attribute of meditation. Such a stone helps a person to relax, concentrate on internal sensations, and immerse himself in his own world.
Amethyst is a stone of truth. The lilac mineral literally loosens a person’s tongue, even if it is contrary to his own will. In addition, amethyst reveals a poisoned drink - a gem immersed in a poisoned liquid immediately becomes cloudy.
This is interesting! Since ancient times, noble nobles decorated their dishes with amethyst, so as not to become victims of insidious poisoning. Today, lithotherapists have discovered the positive effect of amethyst on alcohol and drug addicts - the stone helps them get rid of addictions.
Green quartzites are suitable for diplomats. With such a talisman, a person will feel confident in his own abilities in any situation.

Many minerals from the quartz family are relatives. However, most of them belong to different elements and are characterized by properties that are distinguishable from each other. Amulets made from different nuggets have different effects on people. Some are able to attract good luck, while others, on the contrary, attract misfortune. Therefore, when choosing a quartz talisman, you should carefully study the influence of each of its subtypes, choosing the most suitable one for yourself.
Black quartz (Marion) magical properties of the stone
Black quartz has received many names over the years; now it is commonly called Morion. This stone is valued for its discreet color and amazing properties.
Just by one shade you can understand how powerful this type of stone is. It is widely used in black magic and occultism. Previously, it was classified as a religious stone, widely used by fortune tellers and sorcerers. There is a belief that the correct influence on the black mineral allows you to open the gates to the other world and contact the spirits.
A black magician is able to control people, zombify them and force them to perform certain actions. An obligatory assistant in this action is morion or black quartz. It absorbs dark energy well and can drive a person to madness or death. However, a person who uses the properties of a stone with selfishness in his heart cannot avoid the repeated return of the evil he has committed.
Smoky quartz (Rauchtopaz) magical properties of the stone
Morion's younger brother is Rauchtopaz or Siberian diamond, as smoky quartz is called. Its composition is similar to black quartz. But it contains a lower concentration of metals and is more transparent.
In ancient times, smoky gem was considered one of the most powerful minerals. It became especially widespread among black rituals. The stone easily attracted black forces and held them to perform various deeds. According to legends, necromancers used quartz to summon the spirits of the dead. Mystics consider the gem to be super-powerful; it is able to penetrate the subconscious and bestow a person with incredible strength.
Smoky stone is responsible for activating the primal instincts of a person, increasing masculinity, stamina and vitality. People who choose this type of quartz as an amulet are sexually active, tireless at work and cheerful.
Compatibility with other minerals
Talking about the combination of quartz with other stones is as difficult as talking about the magical or healing properties of this mineral. Since the name “quartz” implies a whole group of related, but completely different energetically, stones, it is difficult to find a “friendly company” for it. After all, even some quartz “brothers” are completely incompatible with each other, like citrine and morion.
The compatibility of minerals is examined based on the stones’ belonging to a particular element. The vast majority of quartz are stones of Earth and Air.
These elements are neutral towards each other. Earthly gems include agate, morion, chalcedony, prazem and onyx; these varieties are friendly with each other:
- Emerald;
- Moon rock;
- Opal;
- Sapphire;
- Aquamarine.
Air quartzites include rauchtopaz, citrine, rock crystal, sardonyx, as well as rose quartz. These minerals favor fire stones and are neutral with Earth, but cannot tolerate representatives of Water. Among the compatible minerals (in addition to quartz “brothers” of the terrestrial group):
- Ruby;
- Pomegranate;
- Nephritis;
- Cacholong;
- Heliolite;
- Jasper.
Jewelry with mineral
Quartz is widely used in the manufacture of magical attributes, amulets, and talismans. Some of the most beautiful varieties of quartz are used by jewelers to create jewelry. For example, citrine and amethyst are used as inserts in silver items. The cost of jewelry is not prohibitive, since quartz is not an expensive mineral:
- Amethyst beads cost an average of 1,000 rubles. If the lilac quartz is accompanied by a pink mineral, rock crystal and citrine, then such a tandem decoration will cost approximately 2000–3000 rubles.
- The bracelet varies in the range of 600–900 rubles.
- Alloy earrings start at 500 rubles, but if the product is made of silver, then the cost will reach 3,000 rubles.
- Rings with amethyst in silver will cost an average of 1,500–2,000 rubles.
- Silver pendants with quartz start at a price of 1000 rubles.
In addition, online stores offer a wide range of quartz beads and cabochons for needlework. Therefore, every skilled handmaker will be able to independently make an original piece of jewelry from this gem.
What magical properties does the mineral have?
The magic of quartz has attracted the attention of people since ancient times. So, lenses with balls were made from it, on which the sacred flame was subsequently kindled in the temple. With the help of quartz crystals, priests could talk about future events.
- What stands out most is the magical properties of rock crystal, which is easy to program for the desired effect and which takes on the role of a powerful energy conductor.
- Milky quartz is popular for meditation; it clears the mind of unnecessary thoughts and allows a person to better understand his nature.
- Carnelian stone ensures fidelity of feelings, and chrysoprase and amethyst help to calm down.
- Smoky-colored minerals allow you to make the right decisions; they are suitable as a talisman for people who have their own business.
Almost all varieties of quartz help eliminate anxious thoughts, fear, depression, and they will also protect you from negative energy. Those talismans with quartz, which are inserted into a silver frame, have especially powerful powers - they will give their owners good luck and financial success, and will act as a reliable love amulet.
With the help of products with this amazing stone, people gain the ability to improve their memory, imagination, speech, and activate all brain processes.
How to spot a fake
It is not advisable to counterfeit quartz due to its low cost. However, sometimes there is still a risk of stumbling upon a linden mineral. Especially when it comes to blue quartz, which simply does not exist in nature. It is also worth remembering that transparent green or blue quartz is a very rare natural phenomenon.
The most common material for counterfeiting is glass. You can check the imitation using another glass or metal object, trying to scratch the gem with it. A natural nugget or an artificially grown mineral (which is not considered a fake) will remain without the slightest scratch.
How to care and wear
Quartz is an unpretentious stone to care for and wear. You can buy products with the mineral in any weather, lunar phase, or during any solar activity. And also the stone is not susceptible to the destructive effects of alkalis and acids, so gems are not afraid of household chemicals. However, it is still not worth deliberately exposing jewelry to such influence. You can clean quartz with soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
Zodiac compatibility
Since most quartzites belong to the elements of Water and Earth, people born under the signs of these elements will be the favorites of these stones. Astrological affiliation means white or pink stones by quartz. Each of the other subspecies of the mineral appears independently in astrology.
(“+++” – the stone fits perfectly, “+” – can be worn, “-” – is strictly contraindicated):
| Zodiac sign | Compatibility |
| Aries | — |
| Taurus | + |
| Twins | +++ |
| Cancer | + |
| a lion | + |
| Virgo | + |
| Scales | +++ |
| Scorpion | + |
| Sagittarius | — |
| Capricorn | + |
| Aquarius | +++ |
| Fish | + |

Rose quartz is a positive, peace-loving mineral. Therefore, no one has any contraindications to wearing this stone. The stone will give each of the constellations something of its own, however, the pink gem is ideally compatible with Libra and Taurus. The talisman will bring good luck, happiness, love to these people, while protecting them from negativity.
In the case of rock crystal, everything is a little more complicated. This mineral is a strong magical and energy source, so it is not suitable for all signs. Rock crystal is suitable for the following constellations:
- Libra, Aquarius, Gemini. The stone is ideally compatible with them. The talisman will direct energy to powerfully protect the owner from negativity, bring good luck, and reveal talents.
- For Scorpios, Pisces and Cancer, the nugget promises happiness. Rock crystal will give such people confidence in their abilities and help them achieve their goals, overcoming all obstacles.
Capricorns and Virgos can also wear rock crystal, with the exception of the smoky variety (rauchtopaz). Smoky quartz can only be worn by those representatives of Virgos and Capricorns who suffer from harmful addictions (alcoholism, drug addiction, smoking). For them, the mineral will become a lifeline, helping them overcome bad habits. But Aries and Sagittarius are undesirable owners for any type of rock crystal.
