White Quartz or Transparent Quartz, also called Rock Crystal, is a variety of colorless crystalline quartz. It is composed of silicon dioxide, belongs to the group of silicates-tectosilicicates, and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale. Quartz crystals are usually shaped like a hexagonal prism with pyramidal faces at their ends. They can be isolated at double tip or in clusters forming maclas, drusas or geodes.

In the past, Rock Crystal was used for the production of containers and valuables. Shamanic traditions consider it a stone of light, of conscience and clairvoyance. Thanks to its optical and piezoelectric properties quartz has been used in lens making and electronics, although currently most Transparent Quartz is used for ornamentation and healing.
