Everything You Need to Know About Rainbow Quartz

Quartz can be called a whole group of minerals, since it is a rock-forming stone. Amethyst, citrine, crystal, topaz, jasper and many others come from it. All of them are most often used as adornments due to their beauty. In nature, there is not a single shade that quartz stones do not have.

Especially from this long list, rainbow quartz and mystical topaz stand out. Each such stone is truly unique. They have bright and unusual colors. In addition to its enchanting appearance, iridescent and mystic quartz have useful and even magical properties. In this article, we will tell you about who these noble stones suit the most and what benefits they bring to their owner.

Rainbow quartz, in fact, is an ordinary quartz stone, inside of which, during its formation, various cracks have arisen, water droplets or air bubbles have fallen. Thanks to these defects, the crystal is able to refract light rays, creating the well-known rainbow effect, for which it got its name.

However, the demand for rainbow quartz today is great, but it is very problematic to mine so much natural stone. Often, various companies have resorted to artificially creating rainbow quartz. For this, an undamaged crystal is taken (otherwise it may collapse in the process) and subjected to sudden temperature changes. That is, it heats up and immediately cools, which entails the appearance of the necessary cracks.

In laboratory conditions, 2 more popular varieties of quartz are also obtained, which do not exist in nature. The first is titanium quartz.To create it, a rainbow crystal is placed in a vacuum chamber, where it is exposed to high pressure and temperatures up to 900 degrees Celsius. The heated stone becomes malleable enough to inject titanium fumes into it, which gives it a unique bluish tint.

The second variety is mystic quartz, or mystical topaz. It was opened relatively recently, in the early 1990s. The cheapest colorless stones are used as raw materials. They are irradiated with radiation and then sprayed with gold, silver or titanium.

The first samples of quartz were found in the Alps by representatives of ancient civilizations. The word "crystal", which is familiar to all of us today, actually has ancient Greek roots. From this language it is translated as "ice". Already in those days, this stone was used as decoration.

Its deposits can be found all over the world. The main regions of its production today are:

• Madagascar;
• North America;
• India;
• Japan.

It should be noted that crystals can have different colors depending on the place of their formation and external conditions. That is why each stone is unique. But, despite this, quartz is never sold in its pure "raw" form. Each stone is polished, cut and sprayed. By the way, quartz is used not only for making jewelry. It is an essential element in various electronic and optical devices. People have found quartz at all times, inscribing it into the mythology of their people. For example, the already mentioned ancient Greeks considered these crystals to be gifts of the goddess Iris, who scattered them all over the Earth.

The Scandinavian peoples believed that quartz crystals are fragments of a bridge connecting the abode of the gods Asgard and Midgard, the world of mortals. Mayan beliefs were similar to those of the ancient Greeks. In their opinion, quartz was created by the goddess Ischel, who rules over the rainbow and the moon.

But beautiful looks aren't the only thing that quartz has to offer. And the ancient peoples already knew about this, ascribing divine and magical properties to the stone. In those days, rainbow quartz was used to treat poisoning. The crystal was crushed into powder and taken orally.
