What is Crystal Healing?

More people have turned to complementary and alternative medicine over the years. For example, from 2012 to 2018, meditation increased from 4.1% to 14.2%, while chiropractic treatments rose from 9.1% to 10.3%. Other alternative healing methods include reiki, yoga, and crystal healing.

Since Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and China, natural healers used crystals to restore the mind and body. From meditation to chakra cleansing, many believe that crystals have many emotional and physical benefits and provide positive energy.

However, it’s important to note that a lack of scientific evidence supports crystal healing as having any real effect on health other than generating a placebo effect. 

7 Different Types of Quartz

Whether you prefer a quartz statue to a tumbled stone or smooth or raw textures, different types of quartz have various metaphysical properties to aid you on your emotional, physical and spiritual healing journey. Let’s look at seven types of quartz crystals here.

1. Rose Quartz

Dating back to 7,000 B.C., rose quartz is one of the most popular gemstones. Throughout history, rose quartz was perceived to have magical properties, and the Ancient Egyptians and Romans used it in their talismans, to indicate ownership and prevent the aging process. During the Middle Ages, rose quartz was also an important component in healing potions.

Today, you will typically find rose quartz in jewelry and decorative items, as well as commonly used during meditation. 

Rose quartz focuses on unconditional love, whether relational, self-love or universal love. When dealing with trauma connected to the heart, rose quartz can to help you heal from your emotional hurt. It’s also said to help you open your heart more to others, instilling a more profound sense of compassion for the world around you. 

2. Smoky Quartz

Smoky quartz was only recently discovered in South Africa’s Magaliesberg Mountains region at the start of the 21st century. In other parts of the world, smoky quartz has appeared in ametrine—a combination of amethyst and citrine quartz—in the Yuruty mines in Bolivia. 

Crystal healers and practitioners typically turn to smoky quartz to dispel negative emotions. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a dark room, this type of quartz is like a window opening to let in the light.

Some of its energies aim to bring you mental clarity and the ability to let go of anger, fear, anxiety, depression and jealousy. Additionally, smoky quartz helps balance your emotions and plants a grounding feeling in your body. 

Another claim about smoky quartz is that it can help you make positive changes in your behavior or habitual life and allow you to move forward from challenging situations. 

3. Clear Quartz

Clear quartz is commonly used during meditation to manifest dreams into reality, setting intentions and enhancing the energies of other crystals. Although clear and colorless, this natural quartz gemstone is known for its bold programming powers. 

Clear quartz is even utilized in technology—watches, computers, microwaves, radio, etc.—to hold electric currents and regulate frequencies.

Clear quartz statues and carvings are typical for crystal grids to elevate the energies from other crystals. In meditation and healing practices, clear quartz should help you relieve mental blocks, allowing you to focus on things you desire, work through complex decision-making and enable you to make headway in your life.

4. Tourmalinated Quartz

Tourmaline crystals are found in various mineral species and have complex chemical properties. Tourmalinated quartz occurs when black tourmaline grows into clear quartz. 

Many people believe black tourmaline is one of the most powerfully protective crystals, releasing and dispelling dark thoughts and negative energies. Together, black tourmaline and clear quartz deliver harmony and tranquility of the mind.

Tourmalinated quartz also has powerful grounding energies that may bring clarity to your life. Crystal healing practitioners can reap the benefits of tourmalinated quartz during meditative and relaxation practices by taking deep, rhythmic breaths.  

5. Citrine

Reminiscent of sunshine and bright yellow Sicilian lemons, citrine quartz represents positivity, good vibes and abundance. 

Working with citrine quartz may infuse your soul with happiness, encourage growth and help rid you of chronic fatigue. 

For centuries, citrine gems bejeweled Victorian-era artifacts, heirlooms and jewelry, demonstrating how special this type of quartz crystal was long ago. 

Today, natural citrine is hard to come by. Most citrine found in the market comes from amethyst undergoing heat treatment to change colors from purple to yellow. 

6. Dumortierite

Dumortierite, also known as “blue quartz,” usually ranges from navy and dark midnight shades to vibrant blue hues. Its coloring comes from blue minerals that grow into quartzite in clusters. 

Similar to other forms of quartz, blue quartz offers an intense energy amplification to other crystals, allowing us to relax and move out of our emotional states.

In many ways, blue quartz offers a sense of safety, as well, and boosts your confidence to let go of hardships. Another claim about blue quartz suggests that it promotes intuition and personal reflection.   

7. Amethyst

Perhaps one of the most popular quartz crystals, amethyst has long been steeped in legend and considered to have strong healing powers. 

Ancient Greeks often associated amethyst with the god of wine, Bacchus. Men frequently wore it during battles due to the belief it contained magical powers for focus and alertness. Amethyst was also incorporated in crowns and religious jewelry for thousands of years and was once equal in worth to more refined jewels like rubies and emeralds. 

Like all crystals, there is no scientific proof that amethyst contains healing properties; however, it’s still used in natural healing techniques for:

• Enhanced immunity
• Increased endocrine function
• Clearer skin
• Improved digestive health
• Fewer headaches
• Balanced hormones

Generally, amethyst is revered as “all-healing” while promoting calmness in an active mind. Crystal healing practitioners also claim that amethyst delivers a sense of tranquility to a space, which is why quartz statues are widely prevalent in amethyst. 

Quartz Crystals for a Calming Space

Despite a lack of scientific evidence supporting quartz crystals’ mental and physical healing properties, many people continue to use them in their meditation practices and for peace of mind. 

Regardless, quartz crystals, particularly large carvings and statues, make beautiful decorative pieces in your home and can add a sense of calm and tranquility to the space.
