Colombian Quartz Origins & Background
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 Geological Information
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.

Colombian Quartz Crystal Care & Ownership Advice
⚠️ 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
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!

Cathedral Quartz Origins & Background
Cathedral Quartz is a rare and highly structured growth formation of Quartz, distinguished by a dominant central crystal surrounded by multiple smaller, aligned secondary crystals that rise along its faces. These step-like formations create the appearance of spires or architectural “castling,” giving rise to the Cathedral name.
Unlike clusters or geodes, true Cathedral Quartz forms as a single, unified crystalline structure. All secondary points grow in alignment with the primary crystal, sharing the same crystallographic orientation and termination direction.
Cathedral Quartz may occur as Clear Quartz, Smoky Quartz, or more rarely as naturally colored Citrine. Clear and lightly colored Cathedrals are traditionally referred to as Lightbrary Cathedrals, a term reflecting their symbolic association with stored knowledge and accumulated wisdom.
Notable localities include Brazil, Arkansas (USA), Madagascar, Himalayan regions, and select Alpine environments. Each locality produces distinctive variations in scale, clarity, and structural refinement.
It is important to note that Cathedral Quartz is frequently mislabeled in the crystal trade. Amethyst geodes split from nodules, or random crystal clusters, are not Cathedral Quartz, regardless of visual similarity.
Cathedral Quartz Geological Information
Cathedral Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system, like all Quartz varieties. What differentiates Cathedral Quartz is not its chemistry, but its highly disciplined growth behavior.
This formation develops when a primary Quartz crystal establishes dominance early in its growth cycle. Secondary crystals repeatedly nucleate along the faces of the main crystal under stable conditions, maintaining consistent alignment over long periods. The result is a coherent, architectural structure rather than competing or random crystal growth.
Because of this unified growth, Cathedral Quartz often displays exceptional internal order and clarity, with a strong sense of visual and energetic coherence.
Common Geological Occurrences
- Hydrothermal Quartz veins
- Long-term stable growth environments
- Regions with minimal tectonic disturbance during formation

Cathedral Quartz Crystal Care & Ownership Advice
⚠️ Handling:
Cathedral Quartz often features delicate secondary points. Always lift from the base and avoid pressure on outer crystal faces.
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking, especially for crystals with fractures or inclusions. Dry thoroughly.
☀️ Light:
Clear and Smoky Cathedral Quartz is light-stable. Naturally colored Citrine Cathedrals should be protected from prolonged intense sunlight.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store separately and ensure stable placement. Cathedral Quartz is best displayed where it will not be knocked or vibrated.
Colombian Cathedral Crown Properties
These crystals are powerful healers. The “Crown” refers to the fascinating multifaceted terminations. Most crown crystals are also blue smoke included. The blue smoke is a lithium based mineral called Cookeite. These are amazing healers tools. Colombian Quartz crystals can be very powerful. With this type of quartz, the clarity in the middle of the crystal leads to a milky tip, and then the energy is further softened by the multi faceted termination. This has the effect of softening the intense energy making it perfect for working with yourself, or others that have endured traumatic life experiences. The soft and loving energy helps provide a safe energetic space, helping one to process and heal from the trauma.
The Colombian Blue Smoke Crown Quartz for sale at Majestic Quartz is hand picked and ready to go to work from the get go! These crystals are also known by the name Elestial Crown Quartz. We here at Majestic Quartz think of the terminations being more orientated to the Cathedral form.
