"...this area
currently provides the purest
quartz crystal known to mankind"*
Quartz (as
a MINERAL) is a very common... it covers nearly 25% of the Earth's
surface.
However, there are only three
places in the world
with enough quartz in CRYSTAL form to warrant mining.
Those three places are:
#1
BRAZIL
#2
MADAGASCAR
(an
island off the coast of Africa)
#3
ARKANSAS, USA
| What is special about Arkansas
Quartz Crystal compared to Crystal from other places: |
Soooooo... what makes ARKANSAS QUARTZ CRYSTAL so special?
According to Edmund Harold in "Focus on Crystals":*
"The closer...crystal formations lie to the magnetic core
of the planet, the greater their magnetic field. All quartz mined
in areas such as Arkansas in the United States -- a region which is extremely
close to that core -- emit powerful electromagnetic energies, and
this area currently provides the purest quartz crystal known to
mankind."
| About Quartz Crystal in general: |
Quartz crystals are made up of silicon and oxygen. (Silicon
Dioxide) They have a unique property called piezoelectricity.
Here's a "web answer" for you: "Piezoelectricity is the ability of certain
crystals to produce a voltage when subjected to mechanical stress". Best
pronunciation I can give you is pie-EE-zow -electricity.
So, I don't know the scientific nitty-gritty of it, but I
do know that if quartz is "squeezed" in just a certain way, it will
pulse, rhythmically... have you ever looked at the face of your watch
and seen "Quartz" written on it? Bingo. They also use it
as micro-computer chips manufactured in the Silicon Valley.
Therefore, when you hear people speaking of "feeling vibrations"
from certain crystals, this is actually based on scientific fact!
The vibratory pattern, (piezoelectricity), can actually be measured.
So, no, we are not nuts. (Well, that may be up for debate,
but the crystals truly DO emit vibrations.)
Even though a crystal will shatter, it is still hard
enough to cut glass. Quartz is considered high up on the Mohs' Scale
of Hardness. So what's that mean?
The Mohs' scale is one common way of measuring a stones' hardness,
where talc is considered a "1" (talcum powder) and a diamond is considered
a "10". Quartz crystal is a "7". That's pretty high.
The ones between quartz and diamond are stones such as emerald,
ruby, sapphire... think of your precious and semi-precious stones.
In order for a person to carve into quartz (and by the way, I
have tried... it is no mean feat) you have to use diamond bit drills.
And even with that believe me it is not easy.
Quartz crystal is considered a semi-precious stone. However, as
stated earlier, it is also used in fields such as industry and electronics.
And, as some of us know, it is also used as a tool by metaphysical
healers, shaman, chiropractors, and acupuncturists and etc.
As a metaphysical tool, crystal is used to amplify, transform,
focus, and transfer energy.
Quartz crystal expresses the unity of all four elements (Earth,
Air, Fire, and Water).
- EARTH (crystals
form and grow deep in the earth), I have found some crystal to be very
grounding, as well
- AIR (like
air, crystals let light pass through their clarity)
- FIRE (is expressed
in the piezoelectric charge)
- WATER (related
in both the molecular structure and the ice-like appearance)
Contrary
to popular belief, crystals and the spiritual/healing properties associated
with them are not a new fad brought on with the "New Age" thinking
and practice. Throughout history, crystals have been used by Shamans
and Medicine Men and Women all over the world.
I hope this has helped you learn a little bit about Quartz
Crystal in general, and Arkansas Quartz Crystal in specific.
