Description
Scepter quartz: these crystals were used in healing ceremonies in Atlantis and Lemuria and were a symbol of the power of their empire; those who carried a scepter crystal were in a position of "high priest/priestess." ... It is an excellent configuration for the transfer of focused energy. Quartz is a form of silicon dioxide, SiO2, and is one of the most common minerals on the Earth's crust. It represents more than 12% of the Earth's crust by volume (including in granite and sand). Quartz is formed, among other things, by crystallization during the cooling of a molten silicate mass. It is therefore an important rock-forming mineral in felsic igneous rocks, such as granite. However, the largest crystals are formed by the influence of hot water on rocks. In this process, quartz dissolves in the surrounding rock in the form of orthosilicic acid and precipitates in cavities and cracks as the solution cools. Quartz can also crystallize in geodes by leaching from the surrounding rock. Quartz is chemically relatively inert and poorly soluble in water under atmospheric conditions. Its solubility in water at 25°C is between 6 and 11 mg/l. This means that quartz hardly dissolves during weathering of quartz-bearing rocks. Consequently, the most common form of quartz is sand and sandstone.
