Composed of oxygen and silicon atoms, quartz forms through crystallization around magma or hydrothermal vents. It is the most abundant mineral on Earth, appearing in various forms such as points, masses, grains, prisms, and even threaded. As one of the few minerals with a twinning structure, Quartz has been a source of fascination since ancient times. First recorded in 300 B.C. by Theophrastus, it was given the name κρύσταλλος or kristallos, derived from the Greek word for "ice" as it was believed to be encapsulated in ice. In the 17th century, Nicolas Steno discovered that Quartz always meets at a 60 degree angle, regardless of its size or shape. Considered an evolutionary, energetic, and societal building block, Quartz can be found all around us, from our cellphones and medical technology to clocks and concrete. It has also been revered spiritually in countless societies, highly regarded as a super-frequency stone, commonly adorning the tops of pyramids. Quartz is the strongest enhancing stone in the mineral kingdom and helps reignite our true identity while showing us the path towards enlightenment.
