They are the embodiment of the perfect balance of matter, and purity. They are consciousness generators. Each quartz concentrates an extraordinary and diversified energy according to its structure and its color and projects around it a vibratory field captured by all living species. Quartzes are therefore precious allies for balancing, harmonizing and revitalizing our whole being.
