Colombian Quartz is widely regarded as one of the finest and most energetically refined forms of Clear Quartz found anywhere in the world. Sourced from high-altitude regions of the Colombian Andes, these crystals are celebrated for their exceptional clarity, brightness, and highly ordered internal structure.
Many Colombian Quartz crystals display Lemurian-style striations—distinct horizontal growth lines along the crystal faces—which has made them especially sought after within the Lemurian Seed Crystal community. These striations are natural growth features and not unique to Colombia, but the combination of clarity, formation quality, and surface refinement seen in Colombian material is considered exceptional.
Nearly all Colombian Quartz is associated with what is commonly referred to as the Silver Light family of Quartz crystals. This term is used descriptively rather than mineralogically, reflecting the perceived clarity, neutrality, and high coherence traditionally attributed to this material.
In recent years, Colombian Quartz has been marketed under a wide range of alternative names, often accompanied by dramatic price increases. While branding terms may vary, experienced collectors and practitioners widely recognize that these crystals originate from the same geological sources and share the same inherent properties. As always in the mineral world, informed sourcing and discernment are essential.
Colombian Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system, like all Quartz varieties. What distinguishes Colombian material is not its chemistry, but the geological conditions under which it forms.
These crystals grow in high-altitude hydrothermal environments characterized by stable temperatures, low contamination, and prolonged undisturbed growth. Such conditions favor exceptional transparency, sharply defined crystal faces, and minimal internal fracturing or inclusion.
Many Colombian Quartz points grow as single, elegant terminations rather than dense clusters, further contributing to their reputation for structural purity and visual refinement. Lemurian-style striations, when present, are the result of rhythmic growth pulses during crystallization.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Quartz (Colombian Clear Quartz) |
| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ |
| Crystal System | Trigonal |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 7 |
| Luster | Vitreous |
| Transparency | Highly transparent to translucent |
| Growth Features | Lemurian-style striations, refined terminations |

⚠️ Handling:
Although Quartz is durable, Colombian Quartz often features exceptionally fine terminations and surface detail. Lift from the base and avoid pressure on points or striated faces.
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking if internal fractures are present. Dry thoroughly to preserve surface brilliance.
☀️ Light:
Colombian Quartz is light-stable and suitable for normal display conditions.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store separately from softer minerals to prevent abrasion. Stable display preserves both physical integrity and visual refinement.
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!

Starbrary crystals are crystals that have markings/glyphs on the side. They are crystals that have stored information within them. This information was seeded by star people that visited the planet eons ago. The information will be released to the crystals new guardian via both subconscious, or conscious methods. Meditation is the most likely way to gain access, but so too can reading them by running ones fingers over the glyphs, reading it in a braille like fashion. The glyphs themselves can take many interesting shapes and are etched upon the crystal itself – usually the sides, in rare cases, on the termination faces as well. Shapes that maybe encountered can be triangles, squares, rectangles, circles, lightning type zig zags, or even combinations of them all!
