Spirit Quartz is an unusual member of the Quartz family - a community within a stone.
Its core, a larger, candle-shaped crystal with a faceted termination point,
is encrusted with hundreds of smaller crystal termination points.
Also referred to as Cactus Quartz or Porcupine Quartz,
it is found only in the Magaliesberg Mountain region of South Africa,
first appearing around 2001. Most Spirit Quartz is Amethyst, though Citrine,
Smokey, and White Quartz are also mined. [Simmons, 375][Ahsian, 376]

In the metaphysical world, Spirit Quartz is a crystal of Harmony and Alignment.
It takes all the crystal energies of the main stone and amplifies them over and over again in all the tiny points, each reflecting light back and forth to one another so all can bathe in the combined radiance of the whole. [Raphaell, 55] In the Book of Stones,
Naisha Ahsian describes this crystal as "a hundred-voice choir singing in harmony."
Its resonance is spiritually uplifting, radiating high-vibrational energy in all directions,
and is a perfect ally in aligning the aura, chakras, meridians and the physical body,
as well as carrying the gifts of Spirit out into the world. [Ahsian, 376][Hall II, 300]

There are four natural forms of Spirit Quartz - Amethyst, Citrine, Smokey,
and White Quartz, sometimes occurring in combinations within a specimen.

Amethyst Spirit Quartz varies in shades of pale lilac to deep purple and activates the higher Crown chakras, bringing in spiritual information and providing multi-dimensional healing.
It is very cleansing to the aura and can dispel negative attachments and entities,
and repair holes to the etheric body. It is a compassionate stone facilitating transition to other states of being. It assists a soul facing death and provides immense support throughout a terminal illness,
and can be an effective tool for spirit release, attracting guides for the journey.
The Amethyst color brings passion and imagination, emotion and logic.
It stimulates creativity and is particularly helpful in artistic endeavors.
Amethyst is the traditional birthstone of those born in February, and is associated with the sign of Pisces.
It utilizes Fire Energy, and may be used in devotions to Minerva, the Etruscan Goddess of Wisdom,
Sophia, the Goddess of Wisdom, and Ixcuiname, the Mayan Goddess of the Four Ages of Women.

Citrine Spirit Quartz varies in shades of pale yellow to gold, sometimes with a rich orange or brownish cast. It activates the Sacral and Solar Plexus chakras, aligning personal will with Divine Will,
and allowing for a more focused manifestation of one's chosen goals and those of the Higher Self.
This stone purifies intent, and increases the sense of self-worth and empowerment,
giving access to true abundance while releasing attachments to material things.
It is particularly useful in harmonizing group efforts and focusing power for a collective cause,
and is a marvelous stone for conflict-resolution and in seeking, or granting, forgiveness.
Gold crystals provide the simple pleasures of life - cheerfulness and contentment,
enthusiasm and success. Citrine Spirit Quartz is associated with the sign of Cancer,
and utilizes Fire Energy. It may be used in devotions to Grian, the Irish Sun Fairy Queen,
Ixcuiname, the Mayan Goddess of the Four Ages of Women, and Demeter,
the Greek Goddess of Abundance.
