➤ By Liz Oakes

Quartz crystals are very powerful to use, so if you want to discover how to use their healing power, you're in the right place.

All types of quartz amplify the power and energy of any minerals that may be included in the quartz. It is this specific quality that makes these stones very powerful for metaphysical purposes.

There are many types of quartz and the many inclusions creates strong healing attributes within the stones. This may aid physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing. 

Quartz is also used by industry because of its piezoelectric qualities and its amplification properties.

Their attributes are quite diverse and many have potent vibrations, and some have a high vibration.

They occur in a variety of forms from massive pieces of stone through to tiny crystals on a matrix. 

Yet depending on the specific type, and where it comes from, they can actually grow in a variety of ways.

Healers will commonly place pieces of quartz at the chakras to aid healing.

They may be placed on the table near the person being healed or even under the table and do not have to be in contact with the body to work.

Crystal Books: Educate Yourself

There are a number of crystal books on the market now, and so it is easy to buy one that will help you to learn more about crystals rocks and stones.

Of course there are many varieties of quartz crystals.

I have written reviews on some of my favorites, just to give you an idea whether a certain book will suit your way of thinking.

Some books are not covered at all, and this also applies to certain authors.

If I don't like how an author covers the subject, I just give the book away. I prefer not to say negative things about anyone.

"Love is In The Earth" is the name of Melody's Encyclopedia, which in my thinking is one of the best books on the market as it covers so many stones. 

While it is one of the best books about crystals that is currently available, it is big, in fact very big. It has a lot in it, but its not one to take with you as its very large and quite heavy. 

There are many others that are a bit smaller, so you may prefer one of a size to go in your bag, so you can take them with you shopping. 

If you are unsure, take a read of my reviews before you go shopping for a crystal book. Read my reviews and get yourself a crystal book!
