Be aware...that there are quartz crystals on the market were the facets have been re-shaped and re-polished by men! We do not sell those.

Fascinating Facts about Quartz Crystals

__________________________
DID YOU KNOW?

That a micro-thin quartz slice is used to keep time inside a quartz watch?

That this crystal slice inside a quartz watch vibrates more than 30,000 times each second and that these vibrations make the quartz watch keep such good time?

That the piezoelectric effect of crystals is also used in gas igniters. When a crystal is "squeezed", it produces an electric charge (a spark) which lights gas?

That carrying an all natural quartz crystal (not shaped or polished by man) could give you balance and inner peace?

WHAT IS PIEZOELECTRICITY?

In the year 1880, the two brothers Pierre and Jacques Curie discovered Piezoelectricity. They found out that pressure on a quartz crystal causes positive and negative charges to be produced across the crystal.
It was found, that placing an alternating electrical charge on a piezoelectric crystal could cause the crystal to vibrate. This now is the basis of the use of quartz as oscillator plates in the control of radio waves, or to keep time.

CRYSTAL HEALING

The laying of stones on someone's body is an ancient form. It is believed, that as light reflects off the crystal and other gems and stones, the electromagnetic field of their body, their aura, absorbs energy.
