Chlorite 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).

Chlorite is an iron aluminium manganese silicate hydroxide group of minerals. The most common mineral of the Chlorite group is Clinochlore.

Chlorite Quartz is the name given to Quartz included (or coated) with Chlorite. Chlorite Quartz often forms phantom formations, where Chlorite is deposited on the surface of Quartz, which subsequently grows larger, creating a ‘green ghost crystal’ within the Quartz crystal.

Crystal Healing Uses

Chlorite Quartz can be used to stimulate healing of any dis-ease, as its function is to harmonise the higher vibrational energies of the aura, light body or subtle body. It is believed that physical dis-ease is a consequence of dis-harmony in the energies of the subtle body.

Chlorite Quartz helps the body to eliminate toxins and assimilate minerals and vitamins, whilst promoting growth of ‘friendly bacteria’.

Chlorite Quartz is particularly useful in treatment of skin conditions and liver spots.
