Gemstone Heart Pendant - Clear Quartz

25 mm crystal hearts from Brazil make everlasting gifts.

Silica (SiO2) is the building block of pure quartz, which happens to comprise more than 10 percent of the outer crust of Earth. Quartz was once thought to be solidified light and it is known as the master stone. In terms of crystals, quartz can be broken down into two major types; macro-crystalline (large six-sided crystals), and cryptocrystalline (micro), meaning the crystals are too small to be seen, even through a microscope. To break it down further, when quartz occurs as singular crystal points or clusters of points, it is considered macro-crystalline. This form of quartz is commonly transparent or translucent; though opaque forms also exist. It is noteworthy that while the macro versions may also appear within massive formations of cryptocrystalline (micro) quartz, not all varieties of cryptocrystalline appear as a macro version.
In crystal healing, quartz is used by many to remove negativity and promote harmony and co-operation within an environment. It is also used in cleansing and energizing other crystals and minerals. Excellent for meditation and accessing higher self and guides.

The heart has long been used as a symbol to refer to the spiritual, emotional, moral and in the past, the intellectual core of a human being. As the heart was once widely believed to be the seat of the human soul, the word heart continues to be used poetically to refer to the soul and stylized depictions of hearts are used as prevalent symbols representing love.
