Rock crystal is the purest form of quartz and often forms the basis for such combination finds in alpine regions. In stone healing lore, calcite is traditionally regarded as a stone of clarity and inner balance, to which a harmonizing effect is attributed according to tradition. Rock crystal is said, according to tradition, to amplify the energy of other minerals and, in the view of many stone experts, promotes inner calm. The combination of both minerals in one specimen is therefore especially valued by enthusiasts.
