“Rock crystal also called hyaline quartz is a pure silica natural stone,
perfectly transparent and colorless. He is the purest quartz of all, describes Marie-Ange Guillemet, consultant in phyto-aromatherapy. It forms inside the fissures of granitic rocks, after slow crystal growth. Crystallization occurs after the passage of water in the cavities contained in the rocks (called geodes). We find it in areas of strong tectonic and magnetic activityeverywhere on the planet, but the most beautiful deposits are mainly located in Brazil, Madagascar, the United States and the French Alps.”

“Rock crystal does not represent any particular danger. It can be associated with other crystals to amplify the virtues of these. However, pay attention to the orientation of the point-shaped crystals” warns our interlocutor.
- directed outward, we can have the opposite effect of what we are looking for. There is a risk of draining the energies of the person or removing the effects of the associated crystals.
- directed inward, one can receive too much energy, amplify the effects of associated crystals and have an overdose. We will especially avoid directing a point towards oneself because it can attract negative energies to oneself.
