Our raw pieces are sourced from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
In the tradition, quartz shows up most often around cleansing, a simple anchor during practice, and clarifying what you actually want. It's traditionally linked to the crown chakra. If that resonates, keep one in a quiet corner where you practice or reflect. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
