History & Overview

Tibetan Quartz, found high up in the Himalayan Mountains, is thought to be bathed in the spiritual vibrations of these sacred peaks. Because it’s found at such high altitudes, mining needs to be done painstakingly by hand, and many say that this stone is still mined by Tibetan monks who live in the region. Tibetan Quartz can also be found in smaller amounts in parts of India, Russia and Pakistan.

Sometimes called Tibetan Black Quartz, this crystal is really somewhere between clear and white. The black coloration comes from small inclusions of Hematite and carbon. 

This crystal is known for its ability to expand consciousness, cleanse the aura and provide strong protection against negative energy and psychic infiltration.

There are people out there who will try to pass off fake Tibetan Quartz as the real thing. Don’t be fooled by clever imitations. There are a few traits to look for if you want to make sure that you are purchasing the real thing.

First of all, even the most perfect looking authentic piece of Tibetan Quartz will have some kind of small imperfection or inclusion. If it is completely flawless, chances are that it’s a fake. 

Use a magnifying glass to check for small bubbles. True Tibetan Quartz will not have any bubbles. If you see bubbles, then it’s not real Tibetan Quartz.

Another method is to use a scratch test. Tibetan Black Quartz has a hardness of seven on the Mohs scale. Basically this means that it is able to scratch other stones that are lower on the scale. It should also be able to scratch glass. If your stone puts a scratch in a piece of glass without too much effort, then your stone is the real thing.

Lastly, you can go the technical route and use a gem tester. A real Tibetan Quartz will feel warm to the touch, but glass or a fake stone won’t.

Tibetan Quartz Meaning

This crystal is thought to be a very potent psychic and auric cleanser. The primary Tibetan Quartz meaning is all about helping you reach your highest goals, connect to sacred realms of consciousness and drive away any negativity that could be holding you back.

This crystal just seems to exude the pure, holy spirit of the Himalayas, and its connection to the highest vibrations of the universe is legendary. Tapping into its amazing energy is thought to help the user discover the inner courage, clarity and guidance that’s needed to stay focused on goals, especially financial ones (more on that later).

Often called “The Master Healer Crystal”, Tibetan Quartz is known to have the ability to positively affect just about every aspect of your life. 

When Tibetan Quartz is used as a part of your daily practice, you can feel more supported, protected, and encouraged than ever before. Even better, you have a wide variety of options when it comes to uses!

Emotional

Many people associate healing crystals with spiritual or metaphysical work, but they can also be used very effectively to address a wide range of emotional issues. One crystal we really like for emotional work is Tibetan Quartz. If you’re serious about improving your emotional health and creating a more stable, happy future, then you need to add Tibetan Quartz to your healing program.

Change can be a very scary and sometimes stressful prospect. Dealing with and accepting change takes a certain amount of trust, courage and clarity. Tibetan Black Quartz is known for its ability to bring about the courage it takes to face change with your head held high.

This stone is quite effective for addressing the negative patterns we all fall into from time to time.

Using Tibetan Quartz as part of your daily healing practice can help you realize that no dream is too big.

Some people find using Tibetan Quartz oil to be very helpful. You only need to apply a small amount to reap big protective and cleansing benefits.

Make sure to have Tibetan Black Quartz with you on your next fasting journey or period of abstinence. It can help you feel more energized, grounded, protected and supported during what can be a difficult and uncomfortable process.

One of our favorite ways to use Tibetan Quartz is to place it around your home or office space. Place a crystal in four corners of your house or office, preferably near windows. This will bring in huge amounts of positive and protective energy (and also serve as a reminder of its meaning). Some people prefer to hang a cluster of Tibetan Quartz from the ceiling for the same effect.

Don’t forget that it’s very important to cleanse your crystal. You can smudge it with sage or incense, place it in a bowl of rice, or you can bury it in the yard overnight.

You can also give it an energy boost by placing it with another piece of Quartz overnight (Clear Quartz is great for this), or you can let it bathe in the moonlight of a full moon.

Zodiac Connection

Not only is this stone a kind of universal healer, it is also known to resonate with all of the zodiac signs in one way or another.
