Clear Quartz
Quartz is the most abundant single mineral on earth. It makes up about 12% of the earth's crust, occurring in a wide variety of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. For thousands of years, quartz crystals and objects were used for divination, disease diagnosis and for awareness of current events in distant places.

Rose Quartz
Rose quartz is an opaque to translucent quartz of pink to rose-red color. It normally occurs in the cores of large igneous rocks as solid masses of rose colored quartz. Rose quartz has been used as a gemstone and as other ornamental and religous objects for thousands of years. Historically, it is a symbol of love and beauty.

Amethyst
The purple color of amethyst is due to small amounts of iron impurities at specific sites in the crystal structure of quartz. In ancient cultures, amethyst amulets were worn as antidotes against poison, to dispell sleep, as protection against harm in battle and to sharpen one's wits.
