A union of opposites, immaculate purity, a stone of light and healing... Rock crystal, with its transparency, represents the intermediate plane between the visible and the invisible, purity and perfect balance.
The benefits of rock crystal
It can be considered a neutral stone for universal use, as it offers a wide range of versatility and possibilities. It's a must-have for collectors and lithotherapists alike. If we had to use just one stone, it would be this one.
In lithotherapy, the silica that makes up the Rock Crystal captures information and transmits it to the biological systems that use it according to their own needs. It can easily be programmed for the desired use and used to store and transmit information.
Rock Crystal acts as an energy conductor, purifier and amplifier. That's why it's often said that it amplifies and purifies the energies of other stones and is an essential healing tool. It liquefies, stimulates, purifies and harmonizes the circulation of energies in the physical and subtle bodies and enables better earth-sky alignment.
A point of Rock Crystal, raw or cut, can be an invaluable tool for energy healing - especially when working on specific areas of the physical body or subtle bodies.

Rock crystal is a colorless and virtually pure quartz. It is a silicon dioxide of the oxide class.
Its formation is most often magmatic, but can also be metamorphic and sometimes sedimentary. Transparent rock crystals only form when the silica solution is very pure and if the growth conditions, pressure, temperature and minerals present remain constant over a very long period.
It forms 6-sided prismatic crystals that can vary in size from a few millimeters to several meters. Their shapes are variable (due to different growth conditions) and each has its own characteristics.
The most sought-after specimens are those that are transparent, perfectly pure, but Rock Crystal can also be translucent to opaque.

The meaning of rock crystal and its history
Its name comes from the Greek kristallos, meaning ice, due to its appearance and the popular belief in antiquity that it was solidified ice. Later, to differentiate it from manufactured glass, " rock" was added to its name.
Archaeology shows that rock crystal has been used since prehistoric times for tools and weapons. Its great hardness enables the creation of solid and sharp objects.
Found in the 4 corners of the world, this stone has fascinated many cultures and has been widely used throughout history for its medicinal virtues and spiritual symbolism.
Rock crystal seems to have always symbolized the link between matter and the subtle worlds : a stone of light detached from the celestial throne for Oceanic-Australian shamanism, a protective and vision-generating talisman for the Indians, a stone of initiation for the Australian Aborigines, a consciousness-awakener for the Mayans... It holds an important place and is considered powerful and sacred in many shamanic cultures.
"From ancient times, the Quartz Crystal was believed to bring man's consciousness into resonance with that of celestial bodies and hierarchies of visible and invisible angelic beings.
Crystal was considered powerful and sacred by American Indians, Tibetan monks and Druids, as well as by the priests and kings of Christian Europe. It was the stone of white light, of the first ray, the philosopher's stone of the mineral kingdom. It was also the stone that opened up all possibilities.
