The word Crystal actually comes from the word "Krystallos" which means "Clear Ice" in Ancient Greek or celestial water from the heavens that the deities froze so it would never melt.  Another legend is that Hercules drooped the crystal of truth from Mount Olympus and it shattered into millions of pieces that we find today as clear quartz.    In the Orient, crystal quartz was regarded as the essence of the dragon and was considered to be pure Chi or life force.

Quartz Crystal has an enlightening effect on all the Chakras and helps to eliminate negative energy.  Often used as a “cleansing” stone to restore positive energy and used in meditations.  It raises energy and aids concentration.  It is the stone of the sun, of health, wealth and happiness.  This stone absorbs energy from all around us and can draw down the divine light.  It will store and concentrate this energy to be released in healing, magic or pure vitality.   Some use this stone for divination, building psychic abilities and helping during meditations.  It also amplifies any innate psychic or healing powers and is used to increase the power of prayer (especially for healing).  It will also act as a channel for spirit guides.
