How and where is it formed?

Clear quartz or rock crystal as it is known is one of the most abundant crystals in the world. It forms in igneous rocks when silicon dioxide crystallises as it cools, just like water turning into ice. Generally the slower it cools, the larger the crystal will be.

Crystal Quartz throughout history

The fact that crystal quartz can be found all over the world means that it features in legends from many different cultures. The name quartz may be derived from the Greek word for ice, as ancient Greeks and Romans believed that it was actually ice formed by the gods that would never melt. In the middle ages, European clairvoyants used clear quartz spheres to help them to predict the future, this is perhaps where the ‘crystal ball’ originated. In ancient Japanese mythology it was believed to be the physical form of a white dragon’s breath, a symbol of perfection, and here in Australia crystal quartz also appears in indigenous stories and ceremonies.
