Quartz is one of the most stunning of all gemstones, historically renowned for its extensive healing properties. The origin of the word quartz is thought to derive from German ‘querklufterz’ used to describe the veins found in mining areas. Quartz, a natural form of silicon dioxide is unique to other gemstones as it performs helically, meaning its internal structure grows in a spiral. Our Classic Quartz® is assembled by hand, to highlight the beautifully pure and reflective quality of this well known semi-precious stone. Often referred to as the universal crystal, quartz is world renowned for its harmonizing and balancing abilities.
