quartz beads

Various minerals can be enclosed in quartz. Rutile inclusions in quartz beads are relatively common.
Quartz is the largest group of gemstones. Check it out: it makes up more than 12% of the volume of the Earth's crust! Because quartz occurs in large quantities and is also simply very beautiful, this stone has been used as a gemstone since time immemorial. Quartz beads have already been found in thousands of years old caves in the Middle East! The ancient Greeks used pieces of quartz to cool their hands in the summer. The name quartz comes from the German 'Quarz', which in turn has a Slavic origin. The Romans thought that Quartz was permanently solidified water (ice) because Quartz was mainly found in glaciers.

Properties of quartz beads

Both in color and in luster (from transparent to opaque) Quartz beads show its versatility. Even optical effects such as stars and cat's eyes occur. Quartz beads can also have inclusions of particles of Mica, which has a silvery sparkle, or Hematite, which has a reddish sparkle. Rutilated quartz contains yellow-brown or gold-colored needles that are distributed over the stone like fine hairs. In the past, this stone was also called 'Venus Hair'. In Tourmaline quartz, black and green needles provide an attractive drawing.

A few gemstones that also belong to the Quartz bead family include Amethyst, Citrine, Rock Crystal, Smoky Quartz, Rose Quartz, Cat's Eye, Tiger's Eye, Strawberry Quartz, and Dumortierite. Only the Quartz we offer are listed, but there are even more!

The effect of Quartz beads

What is said about the functioning of this type of stone.

Because there is such an enormous variety in quartz, its function cannot be unambiguous. We refer you to the various Quartz sections on our site. Because Rutilated Quartz, Smoky Quartz and Tourmaline Quartz are represented under this heading, we do describe the functioning of these stones:

Rutilated Quartz is an uplifting and calming stone. It gives hope, promotes sincerity, independence and self-love. It has an uplifting effect and is therefore very suitable for depression. The Quartz beads can also be worn well in crisis situations and reduces fear, phobias and anxiety. Rutilated quartz has a positive effect on fertility and reduces sexual problems due to excessive stress build-up, as can be the case with impotence and premature ejaculation. Rutilated quartz stimulates the body's regenerative capacity and has a positive effect on chronic diseases and respiratory problems (especially chronic bronchitis).

Tourmaline Quartz unites the properties of Tourmaline and Quartz and is therefore strongly grounding and protective against negative external influences. The stone brings balance to the body.

Smoky quartz is a strong protective, grounding and detoxifying stone (body, soul and spirit). It is pre-eminently a good stone to wear in case of complaints related to stress and in stressful situations. The stone helps to relax and let go. Smoky quartz also has a beneficial effect on anxiety (especially fear of failure), nightmares, depression and suicidality. The stone stimulates a sober, pragmatic and positive attitude and promotes concentration. Physically, smoky quartz has a pain-relieving, anti-cramping and detoxifying effect and has a positive effect on back complaints, nerves, abdomen, hips, pelvis, legs, headache, restless legs syndrome and the genitals. It can also help with smoking cessation and other addictions.
