The All-Purpose Cleansing Stone
Clear Quartz
Clear quartz is the purest and most transparent of all crystals, its flawless clarity long taken as a symbol of clean, uncomplicated energy. It is often called the King of Crystals, not because folklore credits it with the strongest power, but because it is the most versatile. As the foundation of any collection, it is traditionally used to cleanse, balance and amplify, and is considered a gentle companion suited to almost everyone.

In crystal lore, clear quartz is associated with clearing away stale, heavy energy from both a person and a space, which is why it is so often chosen as a first stone.
