Rock Crystal has long been associated with prophecy and healing. Like Chiron -its planetary partner- it can stimulate awareness of subtle energetic fields and how they interact with the body or each other. Its mineral content embodies the essence of purity, and works to create clarity in complex situations.
Spiritually, Rock Crystal aids in all forms of energetic and intuitive healing. It brings clarity to the mind and will amplify the effects of meditation and visualization. Pure rock crystal is an excellent aid for focus in meditation as it aligns with the electrical currents generated through the nervous and glandular systems to increase overall frequency.
Rock Crystal is a variety of quartz, but lacks the colour carrying minerals of other varieties. For this reason, it is pure, containing no foreign substances.
Supply of smoky quartz is abundant, as it is part of the quartz family. Pleochroism can be apparent and lesser quality specimens will show distinct colour-banding. It is rarely produced synthetically on the market owing to its relatively low cost. Colour can be altered through artificial radiation however, which will affect its therapeutic qualities.
