Cathedral Quartz

Quartz is a silicon dioxide mineral belonging to the Quartz group. Quartz is the most abundant mineral on Earth, found in most geological environments and a component in most rock types. Quartz varieties include microcrystalline Chalcedony types (each variety has its own page); and macrocrystalline Quartz types, which is clear in its purest form. Impure varieties include Amethyst, Citrine, Smokey Quartz and the massive variety Rose Quartz (each variety has its own page).

Quartz, also known as Rock Crystal, is further named after the growth types Phantom, Elestial, Double Terminated; locality Tibetan Black, Herkimer Diamond; inclusions Rutile, Tourmalinated; artificial coatings Aqua Aura, Opal Aura; and synthetic production Siberian Blue, Green; and that’s to name but a few (each has its own page).

Cathedral Quartz is the name given to the formation of (usually) cloudy white Quartz in which the main crystal point is surrounded by smaller points which are embedded into the main crystal. The formation resembles cathedral organ pipes or spires.

Cathedral Quartz points can substitute for Female Quartz if one is unable to source Female points when used for crystal healing.
