Mongolian Quartz
For what and How Does One Use it?
Mongolian Quartz Crystals have been coming out in greater and greater numbers since 2013. They are crystals for “The Now”. Mongolian Quartz promotes communication and purification of the “Group Consciousness”.
Mongolian Quartz forms in many colors, but particularly in the colors of the heart – Green and Pink. These crystals are appearing to help humanity come from a place of the heart, both in the physical and emotional sense. Some of the Quartz crystals are forming with beautiful Pink Calcite. These crystals are exceptional emotional healers, breaking through old blockages, working through both ethereal and electrical levels.
Mongolian Quartz often has etching, some is very finely detailed and other crystals exhibit breath taking chiseled etching/formation.
Many Mongolian Quartz crystals have inclusions of Green Hedenbergite.
Another style of Mongolian Quartz we will cover is the Dual Core variety. These are pseudomorph crystals. Initially the crystal will most often be a clear quartz crystal, then will at a later time be covered over with an included variety of Quartz, or a completely different color – though also mainly due to micro inclusions of other minerals. These crystals are like “Charging Stations”. The inner core radiates and amplifies the overlaid included layer – combining to make for a very powerful healing experience.

Included Quartz
For what and How Does One Use it?
Included Quartz comes in many guises, The inclusions can be minerals such as Chlorite, Rutiles, Tourmaline, Titanium, Iron and many, many more.
Included Quartz has all the properties of Quartz itself, plus the energy of the inclusion inside. The Quartz also amplifies the said mineral inclusion!
Quartz attracts and enables you to use more life force energy. Have it around you, on you, or in elixir form, in you!

Phantom Quartz
For what and How Does One Use it?
Phantom Quartz crystals are all about growth and moving on, moving past blockages.
On a physical level, these crystals are created when another substance other than quartz washes over the crystal, leaving a layer on the termination during the crystal’s natural growth cycle. The crystal continues to grow, leaving an image of itself where it was at the time the substance washed over it. Phantoms can be made up of such minerals as Chlorite, Hematite, or even Clay. On occasion heat can play a part, causing a phantom to be visible through a different color shade. Most often either Smoky or Amethyst can display these heat-induced types of Phantom.
The most powerful phantom configurations are termed as being 3D. This is where the substance has totally covered the entire termination, leaving a three-dimensional image of itself.
Phantom crystals are very good for helping us move past blockages, where we may have become “stuck.” The type of inclusion that makes up the phantom also plays a part in the gifts that these special crystals have to offer us. They can also be used to project growth and plan milestones.
Hold a Phantom Quartz and visualize/remember a traumatic time in your life that you may perceive as having stunted your growth. Now see yourself actually becoming stronger through this experience. Let that experience become a marker, a testament to your strength, growth and perfection in that moment. Now bring that perfection and strength forward to the present day. Give thanks to the Phantom Crystal in helping you change your perception and facilitating your self-healing!

Etched Quartz Origins & Background
Etched Quartz refers to Quartz crystals that display natural surface markings created through cycles of growth, dissolution, and regrowth over long geological periods. These markings appear as symbols, lines, grooves, geometric patterns, or script-like formations etched directly into the crystal faces.
Etching can occur in many Quartz varieties and from many locations worldwide. It is not a separate species or formation, but rather a record of the crystal’s long and complex interaction with its environment. Etched Quartz is often found in association with older growth stages, extended formation timelines, and fluctuating chemical conditions.
Because of this, etched crystals are commonly regarded as ancient and information-rich specimens. The presence of etching suggests the crystal has undergone multiple phases of evolution rather than forming in a single, uninterrupted growth cycle.
Elestial Quartz crystals are widely considered the most complex members of the Etched Quartz family. Their skeletal and layered growth often results in extensive and varied etching, sometimes with a different “language” appearing on each face and termination.
Etched Quartz Geological Information
Etched Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system, like all Quartz. The etching itself is formed when acidic or mineral-rich fluids partially dissolve the crystal surface during pauses or reversals in growth.
These dissolution events selectively remove material from the crystal faces, creating intricate patterns that reflect changes in pressure, temperature, and chemistry. Subsequent growth phases may preserve or accentuate these etched features rather than smoothing them away.
Etching may appear as:
- Linear grooves or channels
- Geometric or symbolic patterns
- Layered textures or script-like markings
- Deep recesses and stepped surfaces
Because etching is a surface feature rather than a structural weakness, etched Quartz remains as durable as standard Quartz when handled appropriately.

Etched Quartz Crystal Care & Ownership Advice
⚠️ Handling:
Etched Quartz often features fine ridges, recesses, and textured surfaces. Handle gently to avoid chipping delicate etched edges.
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking, ultrasonic cleaners, or chemical agents, which may lodge in etched areas. Dry thoroughly.
☀️ Light:
Light-stable under normal display conditions.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store padded and separate from harder or angular specimens. Etched Quartz is best displayed where its surface detail can be appreciated without risk of impact.
