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.

Quartz Cluster
For what and How Does One Use it?
These crystals have all the properties of Quartz. In addition, being in cluster form enables the crystal points’ combined energy to spread out, benefiting entire rooms. In the case of very large Quartz Clusters, whole houses and neighborhoods will benefit!
You may place other crystals carefully on clusters to charge them.
Quartz Clusters attract and enable you to use more life force energy. Have it around you, on you, or in elixir form, in you!
Quartz Clusters seek to bring balance on all our body levels.
Quartz has the ability to receive, store and send energy, which makes it a powerful manifestation tool. Hold/gaze into the crystal, and put your thought/need (what you wish to manifest) into it. The Quartz Cluster receives the thought (and the feeling behind the thought), then stores and transmits those thoughts and feelings into the ethers. Thus, even while you’re not thinking about that particular manifestation, the Quartz Cluster is still working on your behalf, putting out your thought forms.
This process has the effect of drawing your manifestation towards you at a much greater rate than before. They are Power tools, and you have to love ’em!
Many refer to this process as programming. Many books state that a crystal can hold only one program, but scientists have found a way to store terabytes of data into a single bubble that makes up the mist you see in the Quartz. My feeling is that Quartz crystals can in fact hold and run more programs than we could give in our lifetime!
Quartz is one of the most flexible crystal tools around. It is very responsive to our intent. What you intend is what you get! It is also one of the most powerful tools and should be treated as such.

Fuchsite Origins & Background
Fuchsite is a green, chromium-rich variety of Muscovite mica, known for its shimmering, reflective surface and strong association with nature and renewal. Its sparkling appearance comes from its platy mica structure, which reflects light across layered crystal sheets.
Fuchsite is most commonly found in Brazil, India, Russia, and parts of Africa. It often occurs as massive formations or foliated sheets rather than distinct crystal points, and is sometimes found intergrown with Quartz, forming Quartz–Fuchsite combinations.
Because of its vivid green coloration and reflective quality, Fuchsite has long been regarded as a stone of balance, vitality, and natural harmony.
Fuchsite Geological Information
Fuchsite is a member of the mica group and is chemically classified as a chromium-bearing Muscovite. The presence of chromium is responsible for its distinctive green coloration.
Fuchsite forms in metamorphic environments, particularly in schists and phyllites, where aluminum-rich rocks undergo alteration under heat and pressure. Its layered crystal structure allows it to split easily along flat planes, producing thin, flexible sheets.
Physical Properties
| Property | Value |

Structural Notes
Due to its softness and perfect cleavage, Fuchsite is rarely faceted and is instead appreciated in natural, polished, or slab forms where its sparkle and texture can be fully enjoyed.
Fuchsite Crystal Care & Ownership Advice
⚠️ Handling:
Fuchsite is soft and easily scratched. Handle gently and avoid friction against harder minerals.
🧼 Cleaning:
Do not soak. Avoid water, salt, and chemical cleaners. Use a dry, soft cloth or gentle air dusting only.
☀️ Light:
Light-stable under normal conditions, though prolonged harsh exposure is unnecessary.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store padded and separate from harder stones. Display where it will not be handled frequently.

Clear Quartz Origins & Background
Clear Quartz is the most widespread and versatile form of Quartz, valued for its transparency, structural clarity, and wide range of natural growth habits. Composed of silicon dioxide, it forms in diverse geological environments and is found on every continent.
Throughout history, Clear Quartz has been used by cultures worldwide for tools, ornamentation, ceremonial objects, and symbolic practices. Its clarity and durability made it a natural focal point for observation, reflection, and intention-based work long before modern terminology existed.
While Clear Quartz occurs globally, certain localities are especially prized for exceptional quality. Colombian Clear Quartz, particularly from high-altitude Andean regions, is widely regarded among collectors and practitioners as some of the highest-quality Clear Quartz in the world. These crystals are known for their exceptional clarity, brightness, and refined growth, often displaying high-frequency visual purity with minimal internal disruption.
Other notable sources include Brazil, Arkansas (USA), Madagascar, Himalayan regions, and Alpine environments, each producing distinctive variations in form and internal character.
Clear Quartz Geological Information
Clear Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system. It commonly forms in hydrothermal veins, pegmatites, and igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary environments.
Quartz crystals grow when silica-rich fluids cool and crystallize over extended periods. The clarity of Clear Quartz depends on growth stability, temperature consistency, and the absence of inclusions during formation.
Clear Quartz may occur as single points, clusters, twin crystals, or specialized growth formations. Its hardness and chemical stability make it one of the most durable naturally occurring minerals.

Included Quartz Origins & Background
Included Quartz refers to Quartz crystals that contain other minerals trapped within them during growth. These inclusions may appear as needles, clouds, veils, phantoms, sprays, plates, threads, or granular deposits, each reflecting the geological conditions present at the time of formation.
Common inclusions include Chlorite, Rutile, Tourmaline, Titanium-bearing minerals, Iron oxides, and many others. Each specimen is inherently unique, as the timing, chemistry, and environment of growth determine the inclusion’s shape, placement, and density.
Included Quartz occurs worldwide, with notable localities in Brazil, Madagascar, Pakistan, India, the United States, and parts of Africa. Because inclusions record a snapshot of the crystal’s growth history, many collectors consider Included Quartz to be a visual and geological record of Earth’s evolving conditions.
Included Quartz Geological Information
Included Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system, consistent with all Quartz varieties. The defining feature is the presence of one or more foreign minerals incorporated during crystal growth.
Inclusions form when Quartz grows in environments where other minerals are suspended in hydrothermal fluids. As the Quartz crystal develops, these minerals may become trapped internally rather than being excluded or deposited on the surface. Growth may continue around the inclusion, fully enclosing it within the crystal body.
In some cases, inclusions outline earlier growth stages, forming phantoms. In others, needle-like or fibrous inclusions such as Rutile or Tourmaline grow simultaneously with the Quartz, creating complex internal structures.
