Spirit Quartz was only recently introduced to the market as a mineral. It was called Spirit Quartz because the pale, dull color of the stone resembled the locally widely used menthol-containing detergent called “Spirit.”
However, even if it happens to be called by such a name, it seems that local tribal shamans have used this stone for group meditation and healing for a long time, and it has “spiritual” suggestion as described later. .. In that sense, it can be said that the original nature of the stone called an appropriate name.
The other names for Spirit Quartz are ‘Cactus Quartz’, ‘Fairy Quartz’ and ‘Porcupine Quartz’.
Spirit Quartz means “spirit crystal”.
Its shape is unique, and innumerable crystals reminiscent of fine protrusions grow on the surface of one thick pillar. Only the tip of the main pillar is unique in that fine crystals remain without growing.
Because of this appearance, it is also called cactus quartz (cactus crystal).
Spirit Quartz means spirit crystal, but it may be more appropriate to call it a choir crystal rather than a spirit. This is because it is a stone in which the voices of countless crystals are in harmony and a large chorus is played.
Although the appearance of this stone has changed, the color is often pale and dull, and it is by no means a flashy stone. However, if you hold it in your hand and move it a little, you can see how wonderful this stone is.
The fine protrusions that grow densely on the surface shine brilliantly in the light just by moving the stone slightly. The light is really light, and the expression “glittering” is perfect. When you turn the stone around, the sparkle of light seems to swirl lightly.
Each light shines like a high-pitched singing voice, and countless singing voices overlap to form a chord, as if listening to the chorus of the Great Choir. Perhaps the harmony of the high-frequency waves emitted from the myriad protrusions gives this image.
”Harmony = Harmony”
This is the central suggestion of Spirit Quartz.
How does Spirit Quartz Look:
Spirit Quartz is a variety of amethyst, and innumerable fine crystals reminiscent of thorns grow on the outer shell of one crystal column.
In most cases, it wears a purple amethyst color, but some of them have a white or citrine color, and some of them have a tangerine (reddish brown) color due to the influence of iron oxide.
The production area is South Africa. Other countries produce similar types of amethyst, but they are often referred to as cactus quartz (cactus quartz), or amethyst cactus, and when referred to as spirit quartz, they may refer to South Africa. It seems that there are many.
* There are also colorful and dark stones called aura spirit quartz, but these are artificially vapor-deposited pigments and are completely different.

Magical effects of Spirit Quartz:
As mentioned earlier, it was originally used by local tribesmen during group meditation and healing. That is probably because of the implication of “harmony” that this stone has.
