Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furiends
Welcome to another pawesome week at BBHQ and today we're continuing our crystal journey, and this week, we've got a lovely gemstone to share as Karen asked us; what is clear quartz good for?
Crystal of The Week

What is clear quartz good for?
Clear quartz is the next best thing to diamonds in our humble opinion; some can be completely transparent with the most exquisite rainbows inside and refract the light in beautiful prisms, other clear quartz can milky with striations through the crystal, there is no hard and fast rule to how it should look. Some specimens can be quite opaque and cloudy, while others are completely translucent and flawless and look like ice.
We have quite a few different clear quartz crystals at BBHQ, from small polished tumbled stones to clusters, obelisks and there is one flame, like the Smoky quartz we shared a few weeks ago, only this one is quite a bit smaller. Take a look at a few in our collection, as being investigated by Fudge and Melvyn.
Let's hop right in and tell mew a little about the gem lore surrounding these lovely crystals. Quartz is appurrently known as one of the master healers and is a powerful energy amplifier. It purportedly helps cleanse the body and assists in enhancing purrsonal healing, plus raising energy levels. It can supposedly act to restore the aura and subtle bodies as it deeply cleanses on all planes.
In some texts we've purrused, it is suggested that clear quartz is a pawesome stone to use in meditation, as it helps still the mind, aids in concentration and assists in finding focus, plus helps to attune mew to your spiritual self. It's a superb stone for channelling too.
And if mew remember all Fortune Tellers of old used to have a large clear quartz sphere; though the one Melvyn is gazing into today is quite special as the natural internal formation is split into quarters and it's filled with the most amazing rainbows. In fact, it's one of our favourite pieces of quartz!
If mew were to ask us if there's one crystal to have what is it, we'd reply clear quartz every time. It really is one of the best stones to have, and it can be used on any of the chakra points. The P.A. has lots of small quartz points that she places around her in a circle when she's feeling listless. She always seems to feel better after being in a crystal circle for a while; whether that's a real effect or purrceived effect from using crystals is undeterminable. But in our opinion it doesn't really matter; the point is if it makes mew feel better mentally and physically that's a result.
There are also lots of different coloured quartz crystals that each have additional properties to the generic clear variety. And just to name a few, there are; blue, golden, harlequin, tangerine, rainbow, green etc...
Plus, there are many treated and enhanced quartz stones, and these can be coated with gold, silver, titanium or copper which are fired at intense heat to create the most dazzling effects. Some can look extremely bright and sometimes quite garish. Others have subtle rainbow/prismatic effects that are often referred to as Aura colours. Such as Angel Aura, which is an iridescent milky white with a gorgeous rainbow effect, or Aqua Aura, which has the same rainbow effect but is a bright turquoise colour, and each of these coated stones have additional properties to the generic ones above. Some of the coated stones are really quite pretty, and if mew are drawn to bright colours mew'll love these, we have lots of different ones at BBHQ, the P.A. is a bit of a magpie - OOPS! If mew'd like a post to see some of the coated quartz's let us know in the comments.
Anyhoo, we'd better wrap this up as we could go on for hours, so if mew're looking a crystal that does the lot mew can't get better than a clear quartz, from the info we've read this is the top crystal to have in your collection. And don't forget that there's oodles of jewellery made from this gorgeous stone too.
