Clear Intentions : Clear Quartz 3 piece Bracelet Set

Quartz stones have been known, worked, carved, cut, used and worn in various settings since very ancient times and in almost every country. The name quartz may be derived from querkluftertz, an old German word referring to whitish vein quartz. The name has also been said to derive from the ancient Greek word krustallos, meaning, ice, because the Greeks (and the Romans) believed that quartz was ice that never melted because it was formed by the gods. The Sumerians cut and engraved various quartz stones as cylinder seals and used them later as ring seals. As the Sumerians invented writing, quartz was probably one of the first gemstones to be written on and also used as a stamp to make a written impression in clay. Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians made beads, scarab figures, and other jewelry from many of the quartz stones.

Nearly every ancient culture has revered Quartz.  The ancients believed Quartz was actually water from the heavens that was frozen into eternal ice by the gods.  In fact, the word "crystal" derives from the Greek word "krystallos" meaning "ice".  Oceanic and Australian shamans spoke of Quartz as "a stone of light broken off from the celestial throne". 

The Aborigines used the crystals to invoke rain, as did certain Native American tribes.  In Australian Aboriginal mythology, Quartz is the most common substance identified with their mystical substance called "maban".  Maban is said to be the material from which wise men (called karadjis) obtain their magickal powers.  During initiation ceremonies, maban is spiritually "inserted" into the body of the apprentice by the karadji. 

The Australian sky god, Daramulun, was long portrayed through art and sculpture as having a mouth full of Quartz, a huge phallus, and carrying a stone axe. 

In the creation myths of the ancient Japanese it was believed that Quartz materialized through the breath of the venerated White Dragon.  As such, Quartz was regarded as the perfect jewel and came to symbolize perfection or the pursuit thereof.  Quartz graced their temples and was also found throughout the temples of the ancient Chinese, Mayans, Aztecs, and many other earlier civilizations situated around the globe. 

An ancient Celtic practice, said to restore and maintain health, was to place nine small Quartz crystals in water, boil it, cool it, and then drink the enhanced water for nine consecutive days. 

Clear Quartz polished into spheres have long been used as crystal balls for divination purposes.  It has been labeled the "Universal Crystal" due to its diversity and abundance of intense metaphysical properties.  Clear Quartz is a secondary birthstone for Libra.
