Tips for Choosing
Quality Guide
Only the finest quality, pure gems yield the therapeutic results we expect from gemstone energy medicine. The higher a gem’s quality, the more therapeutically powerful it is. As a gem rises in quality, its therapeutic potency often increases far more than its price. Going up even one level of quality can deliver many times more therapeutic power.
Gemstone Size
Next to quality, the most important factor in determining a gemstone’s therapeutic power is mass. Quality being equal, larger gems are more potent than smaller ones. If your neck is sensitive to weight, consider wearing somewhat smaller gems. Children usually require shorter necklaces and smaller gems.

Quartz fosters balance in all aspects of your life. When you are more balanced, more life force can flow through you to touch every aspect of your being. This increased flow fosters even greater balance, which in turn attracts even more life force. Because Quartz’s nature is to promote balance, it brings your entire being into balance in a balanced way—slowly and steadily.
When worn around the neck, Quartz balances your whole being; when placed on specific areas of the body, it balances those areas. For example, if you place Quartz spheres on a disharmonious stomach, the Quartz will attract life force to the stomach, promoting greater balance there and helping the stomach become healthier.
When you wear a necklace of Quartz spheres, the Quartz brings balance to your body’s physical processes, including those involved in the functioning of your endocrine, organ, nervous, circulatory, digestive, and other systems. Quartz balances these processes one at a time, beginning its work with whatever requires its attention most. As Quartz draws more life force to your physical body, a healing may start to occur. Such healing is not the direct effect of Quartz but of the increased life force that Quartz brings to your body. As you continue to wear Quartz, your health will naturally improve.
When you wear a Quartz necklace, additional life force also permeates your inner aspects—your mind, memory, and emotions. This additional life energy nourishes, balances, and aligns your emotional, karmic, and mental bodies. This is important, because disease is usually more than just physical; it most often originates on the emotional and mental levels.
Quartz fosters a greater awareness of your emotional being. It helps balance emotional energies and incorporate the effects of new experiences into your consciousness. With more emotional balance, you can handle all situations in a more dignified and balanced way. Because of this, Quartz may seem to protect you from the negative emotions of others. However, you will simply become more able to place negative emotions in perspective and to maintain your own balance. Positive emotions will appear enhanced, but only because you will appreciate and enjoy them more.
Those who are familiar with the concept of karma—the law of cause and effect, or the law of action and reaction—know that an individual is ultimately accountable for his actions. Quartz can help you become aware of incidents from the past; it can also help you see that your actions cause reactions. With this awareness, the effects of your actions can become learning experiences rather than simply slaps out of the blue. This awareness will also help you better handle your current life situations that are associated with past experiences.
Quartz also helps you achieve greater mental balance. To accomplish this, it improves either analytical or creative thinking, depending on your needs. Which function is stimulated, which is suppressed, and the degree to which these actions occur will be different for everyone. Once Quartz completes this adjustment, both creative and analytical thinking will be strengthened, enlivened, and improved.
Quartz not only helps balance your physical and subtle bodies, it also helps bring into balance everything that comes into your life. If Quartz is worn continually, it will even work to deflect those forces that upset your balance, and it will attract what is needed to maintain your balance.
Quartz spheres can take the energy that is in your aura, metabolize it, and return it to you in a more usable form. Quartz calls to itself the life force that exists all around you and in your subtle bodies. It can bring this energy into your physical body in a form that the body can "digest" and use for its development. Ultimately, the mission of Quartz is spiritual: when the bodies’ energies are balanced, a more stable foundation will be laid from which spiritual growth can flourish.
Frosted Quartz
Gemisphere strongly recommends that only “frosted” Quartz spheres be worn as necklaces.
When therapeutic-quality Quartz is first fashioned into spheres, it is transparent. To prepare Quartz for use in a therapeutic necklace, the surface of the spheres must be roughened through a polishing process that makes the spheres appear white, or "frosted." Only Quartz spheres with this frosted finish should be worn in necklaces. When unfrosted Quartz spheres are drilled for stringing, the drill holes disrupt the energies at both ends of the spectrum of Quartz emanations, making such spheres disharmonious to the wearer. Frosting the spheres re-establishes and maintains a pure, balanced flow of their energies. This property is unique to colorless Quartz.
To receive the maximum therapeutic benefits from Quartz, only optical or near-optical quality spheres should be used. Optical-quality Quartz is colorless, clear, and free from flaws to the naked eye. Such flaws include cracks and inclusions, or foreign matter. Near-optical Quartz has very slight flaws in a small portion of the sphere but is otherwise identical to optical quality. If a Quartz sphere has anything more than very slight flaws, its ability to balance your physical, emotional, and mental bodies will be significantly inhibited.
Therapeutic Quartz also has no hint of yellow, gray, brown, or smoky coloration. Color contamination and internal flaws greatly limit the spheres’ inflow and outflow of energy.
People who wear lower-quality Quartz may still feel some effects, since any gemstone will influence an individual's energetic field. However, only the highest quality Quartz necklace—one with deeply frosted, optical or near-optical quality spheres and precisely cut drill holes—will spark the true changes and transformations one seeks from this gemstone. Optical-quality Quartz is extremely rare. Yet it is well worth seeking out, since a necklace made of such Quartz radiates an incomparable energy.
An injury to my right arm had left my wrist painful and unable to hold any weight. To ease the pain, I’d applied ice packs, taken anti-inflammatory drugs, and even had a chiropractic adjustment. These remedies were helpful, but the pain still kept me awake. In desperation, the next night I used an ace bandage to wrap my Quartz and Leopardskin Jasper necklaces around my wrist and was able to sleep the rest of the night. The healing process took a ‘normal’ course, but anytime I used the necklaces, there was pain relief. The results are very real.

When I wear a Quartz necklace, I feel deep inner contentment. I feel very connected to myself, to other people, and to the world around me, and that brings me a great sense of peace and happiness.

Many of my patients are children with cerebral palsy. I have found that when I place a Quartz necklace on a cerebral palsy child after a chiropractic adjustment, it brings deep relaxation, peace, and balance to their bodies, and they hold their adjustments longer. Recently, I placed a Quartz sphere on a little girl who had been unable to move. When I returned to the room, she had picked it up and placed it on her head! I find that Quartz helps today's children find balance.

I can't seem to part with my Quartz necklace. At night, I keep it next to my bed or on my dresser, and it has helped me sleep through the night. I had been going through a period in which I was waking up several times in the middle of the night, disrupting my sleep considerably. Since Quartz came into my life, I have been sleeping right through the night and having vivid dreams. I attribute all this to the Quartz necklace.

Last night I experienced my first sinus infection, with pressure, tension, and pain on the right side of my face near my nose. I got out my Gemstone Energy Medicine book and looked up sinusitis and sinus infection. I put on a Lavender necklace and placed a Quartz necklace directly over my right sinus area. After about a half hour, it became a bit more uncomfortable, but I had read that Quartz can help break up disharmony and disperse toxins, and it felt like things were moving in that direction. I kept the Quartz on all night, and upon awakening I found that the condition had improved amazingly. Today I have absolutely no pain or congestion after yesterday’s misery.

My Quartz necklace is my energetic “tune up” tool. Lately, I’ve experienced many transitions in my life, and the Quartz seems to help me move through them with grace and humor.

In 2008, I had two total hip replacements, about five months apart. I wore the Quartz necklace night and day following both, and I feel strongly that it has been a huge factor in my remarkably speedy recovery from each. I was able to get off of the pain medication, which I used only at night, after three weeks, and even then I was only using a third to half the dose offered. I had no sensation at any time that I could call pain. Honest! I was up and walking without a limp after only four weeks, almost unheard of with this type of surgery. The Quartz helped my body heal itself in record time. The nurses and doctors were, without exception, astounded at my rapid recovery.

I have suffered extreme fatigue and non-refreshing sleep at night for years because of my fibromyalgia. Since I have started wearing my Quartz necklace daily and sleeping with it near my head, I have had less daytime fatigue and better sleep at night.

Wear It Around Your Neck
One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Quartz necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems.
Focused Treatments
In addition to wearing a Quartz necklace around your neck, you can use it for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl up the necklace and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery.
Quartz energy is infused into a painful, injured, or otherwise disharmonious area to bring more life energy and balance to the area. This Quartz infusion can be used as a primary therapy or as a pre-treatment to help prepare any area of the body for another life-giving therapy.
This Quartz therapy balances the chakras as it increases the flow of life force through them. The chakras are mended and soothed, overall energy is given a boost, and the healing of chakra-related illnesses is accelerated. During the treatment, a Quartz necklace is placed on one chakra or on all seven chakras in a specific sequence.
This Quartz therapy gently eases headache pain by bringing additional life force and balance to the eyes and brain. By gazing through frosted Quartz spheres, strained eyes are also soothed.
Metabolic Reset Technique (Single-Sphere Therapy)
Single Quartz spheres are placed on six special points around the navel, known as the Ancient Points, to reset and harmonize imbalanced biochemical and metabolic processes.
Eye Therapy (Single-Sphere Therapy)
Single Quartz spheres are used to uplift the health of the eyes by gently cleansing the eyes of disharmonious energies.
Causal Awareness Technique (Single-Sphere Therapy)
An undrilled Quartz sphere is used as an aid to contemplation to help one become more aware of the past circumstances that may be inhibiting the resolution of a current situation.
Wearing Quartz with Color Ray Gems
Quartz gently attracts a balance of all seven color rays to your body, emotions, and mind. In the process, it corrects any color-ray imbalances in your physical and subtle bodies. When you become more balanced on this fundamental level, all aspects of life improve.
Quartz’s ability to attract all seven color rays makes it an ideal partner to wear with a color-ray gemstone necklace. The color ray gemstones include Ruby, Carnelian, Yellow Sapphire, Emerald, Blue Sapphire, Indigo and Amethyst. Not only does Quartz enhance the flow of life force through all levels of your being, it amplifies the effects of the color ray gemstones and balances the ratios of color rays within you.
Metal and Quartz
Solid Quartz necklaces should never contain any kind of metal, such as a metal clasp, chain, or beads. The Quartz would amplify the metal's energetic effects, which in most cases conflict with the action of Quartz.
Time Guidelines
Quartz can be worn continuously. However, it is always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes initiated by the gems by wearing them for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.
Cleanse Quartz Regularly
To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Quartz necklace. Learn more about these methods.
Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.
Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight.
Water Rinse: Rinse the gems daily for the first two weeks, then 2 – 3 times a week. To restore Quartz’s frosted appearance, wash with mild natural soap.
Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time.
Clay Cleanse: For deeper cleansing, occasionally perform a bentonite clay bath or pack.
When Your Necklace First Arrives
When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.
