Spirit Quartz Meanings

Spirit Quartz is believed to help harmonise and cleanse the levels of the aura, the chakras, the meridians and the physical body. Also, it transmutes negative energy and provides an auric shield from harm. Similarly, it is believed to assist in the integration of energy on a physical level and can help eradicate discordant vibrations from the energetic field. In addition, it may encourage cooperation, group consciousness and a willingness to set aside the self in favour of the higher good. As such, it may assist those who have a fear of social situations to become open, friendly, and less shy. Lastly, it can help overcome fear and is an excellent support to ease feelings of loss or grief.

Also known as Cactus Quartz, Porcupine Quartz or Spirit Crystals, these crystals are only found in South Africa. It is characterised by its formation of tiny, druzy crystals covering the shaft of a larger quartz point. Usually, it is found mainly as light coloured Amethyst. Funnily enough, it received its name after a South African window cleaning product called Spirit which is the same light purple colour. Also, it can be found in Clear Quartz and less often in Citrine or Smoky Quartz. Traditionally, it has been used to support astral travel, shamanic journeying, dream work, re-birthing, and meditation.

Spirit Quartz is a silicon dioxide mineral with a hardness of 7. It has an unusual growing habit where a central candle shaped crystal with a faceted termination is the main crystal body which is covered in small terminated points. These crystals are most usually of amethyst and only found in Magaliesburg, South Africa.

Spirit Amethyst is very similar to Spirit Quartz, however, it has more purple colouring occurring within it. However, with a higher content of Amethyst, it is believed to hold more Amethyst properties. As such, it can bring about peace, relaxation, release of negative thought patterns and help you let go of bad habits.
