According to tradition, it is said to help focus energies and fill a space with a welcoming, connecting atmosphere. It is traditionally attributed with the ability to sharpen one's perception of what is essential and promote inner clarity. The Amethyst Spirit Quartz in particular – with its delicate violet hue – is said, according to tradition, to help calm thoughts and create a peaceful retreat in everyday life. As a meditation companion or a conscious decorative element in the home, Spirit Quartz is especially valued by many enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and handling of your Spirit Quartz\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its Mohs hardness of 7, Spirit Quartz is an easy-care companion. Nevertheless, we recommend handling the piece carefully, as the fine overgrowths can break off under strong impact. For care, a brief rinse with clear, lukewarm water is suitable. Then pat dry thoroughly. Prolonged moisture and aggressive cleaning agents should be avoided. Extended sun exposure can cause the color of purple Spirit Quartz (Amethyst variety) to fade slightly – a cool, light-protected location is therefore ideal. Energetic cleansing in white sage smoke or on a clear quartz cluster is traditionally recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuy Spirit Quartz at Crystal Paradise – hand-selected and with expertise\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Crystal Paradise, we know from years of experience in the mineral trade how extraordinary genuine Spirit Quartz pieces from Boekenhouthoek truly are.
