Milky Quartz is one of the most common yet most misunderstood varieties of Quartz. Often overlooked in favor of clearer specimens, Milky Quartz is in fact one of the great information holders and distributors within the crystal world.
Milky Quartz occurs worldwide, but New Zealand Milky Quartz deserves special recognition. NZ Milky Quartz is exceptionally vibrant, often displaying a luminous softness rather than a dull opacity. These specimens carry a clean, coherent feel that reflects both their geological environment and the relatively unpolluted landscapes from which they originate. They are quietly powerful, deeply stabilizing, and far more sophisticated than their appearance suggests.
Milky Quartz has historically been used less for ornamentation and more as a working stone—one that supports collective processes, long-term stability, and subtle but profound shifts.
Milky Quartz is chemically identical to all Quartz varieties (silicon dioxide, SiO₂). Its cloudy or milky appearance is caused by countless microscopic fluid inclusions—tiny bubbles of un-solidified silica-rich solution trapped during crystal growth.
These inclusions scatter light, giving Milky Quartz its characteristic soft white translucence. Unlike fractures or impurities, these bubbles are a direct result of rapid or fluctuating growth conditions and are integral to the crystal’s structure.
Recent scientific research has demonstrated that information can be stored at extraordinary density within microscopic structures similar to those found in Quartz inclusions—supporting the idea that Milky Quartz is structurally well suited to information storage and transmission.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Quartz (Milky variety) |
| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ |
| Crystal System | Trigonal |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 7 |
| Luster | Vitreous to greasy |
| Transparency | Translucent to opaque |
| Defining Feature | Microscopic fluid inclusions |
Some Milky Quartz specimens may appear to become clearer or cloudier over time. Structurally, this is related to light interaction with internal inclusions and surface conditions, but it aligns well with the long-observed behavior of Milky Quartz as a dynamic rather than static crystal.
⚠️ Handling:
Milky Quartz is durable but should still be handled with care to avoid surface chipping.
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking if fractures are present. Dry thoroughly.
☀️ Light:
Light-stable and suitable for display.
📦 Storage & Display:
Milky Quartz thrives in active environments. It does not require isolation and often performs best when placed where people live, work, or communicate.
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.

Cascading Quartz is a descriptive term used for Quartz crystals that display multiple smaller crystals, stepped growth, or triangular Elestial-like formations flowing down the sides of a central crystal. These secondary growths appear to “cascade” downward, giving the crystal a layered, abundant, and highly textured appearance.
This growth habit is also commonly referred to as Candlestick Quartz or Pineapple Quartz, reflecting the way the crystal surface builds outward in repeating layers. In rarer examples, this cascading effect may also appear on the termination itself.
Cascading Quartz is most often found in Milky Quartz. While sometimes overlooked compared to ultra-clear Quartz, Milky Quartz carries its own ancient, steady, and deeply grounded wisdom — making it a perfect host for this complex growth style.
These crystals are highly expressive records of long-term, uninterrupted growth. Their form reflects accumulation, cooperation, and the gradual building of knowledge over time rather than sudden or singular expression.
Cascading Quartz is a growth habit rather than a separate mineral species. It forms when Quartz continues to crystallize in fluctuating conditions, allowing repeated secondary crystal growth along the sides of an existing crystal.
These layered formations are commonly associated with Elestial-style growth, where silica-rich fluids deposit in stages rather than in a single uninterrupted phase. This produces the stepped, triangular, and overlapping crystal structures characteristic of Cascading Quartz.
The predominance of Milky Quartz in these formations is due to the presence of fluid inclusions and micro-bubbles captured during growth. These inclusions soften clarity but deepen structural complexity.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Quartz (Cascading / Candlestick / Pineapple habit) |
| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ |
| Crystal System | Trigonal |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 7 |
| Luster | Vitreous to silky |
| Transparency | Opaque to translucent |
| Fracture | Conchoidal |
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe. Rinse gently with lukewarm water and use a soft brush to clean between layered growths. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, which may stress delicate secondary formations.
✋ Handling:
Handle with care. The cascading layers can be more fragile than smooth-sided crystals.
☀️ Sunlight:
Stable in normal light conditions.
📦 Storage:
Store separately or with padding to protect intricate surface growth.

Green Fluorite is a color variety of Fluorite that ranges from pale mint green to deep forest and emerald-toned greens. It may appear transparent, translucent, or internally zoned, often forming classic cubic or octahedral crystals.
Green Fluorite is sourced from many of the world’s major Fluorite localities, including China, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, England, and the United States. Variations in hue and saturation are influenced by trace elements, radiation exposure, and crystal growth conditions.
As part of the Fluorite family, Green Fluorite carries the core mental clarity and learning attributes of Fluorite, while expressing a distinctly restorative, nature-aligned character.
Green Fluorite is composed of calcium fluoride (CaF₂) and crystallizes in the isometric (cubic) crystal system. Its green coloration is caused by trace impurities and lattice defects, often influenced by natural radiation during formation.
Like other Fluorite varieties, Green Fluorite commonly forms in hydrothermal vein systems, frequently associated with Quartz, Calcite, Barite, and sulfide minerals. The mineral’s relatively low hardness allows for sharply defined crystal faces but also results in perfect cleavage along four directions.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Fluorite (Green variety) |
| Chemical Formula | CaF₂ |
| Crystal System | Isometric (Cubic) |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 4 |
| Luster | Vitreous |
| Transparency | Transparent to translucent |
| Cleavage | Perfect in four directions |
Some Green Fluorite specimens fluoresce under ultraviolet light, typically emitting blue, violet, or white hues depending on composition.
⚠️ Handling:
Green Fluorite is relatively soft and has perfect cleavage. Avoid impacts, drops, or pressure that could cause chipping or splitting.
🧼 Cleaning:
Do not soak. Avoid salt, acids, and ultrasonic cleaners. Clean gently using a dry or slightly damp soft cloth.
☀️ Light:
Some specimens may fade with prolonged exposure to strong sunlight. Display out of direct sun when possible.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store padded and separate from harder minerals. Use stable stands for display to prevent vibration or tipping.
