Blue Quartz Towers from Brazil
These are Blue Quartz Towers which have been cut and polished in Brazil. The color of this quartz is believed to be caused by very small Tourmaline, Rutile, or Zoisite inclusions within the Quartz. This beautiful variety of Quartz is mostly found in Austria, Brazil, and the US, and is often confused with Dumortierite, Sodalite and Blue Aventurine.
A tower or mini-tower is a cut and polished crystal that is pointed on one end and flat on the other end. It is designed to stand up with the point directed towards the sky. This shape also directs the energy through the point of the crystal and is great for the center of a crystal grid or energizing a room. Mini-towers can be used for meditation or decorating your alter.
Blue Quartz works mostly with the Throat and Third Eye Chakras. Blue Quartz enhances organizational abilities, self-discipline and orderliness by balancing the Throat Chakra and enhancing communication between upper and lower Chakras. Using Blue Quartz also helps to improve one's communication skills, including not only communication with others, but also communication from the higher self into the 3D self. By focusing in on the Third Eye Chakra, Blue Quartz can help one to connect to higher realms and work with ascended beings, and brings great clarity to psychic visions and enhances dream work.
A helpful aid in any issues requiring diplomacy, Blue Quartz is a soothing and calming stone, bringing a relaxing, peaceful vibe to any situation.
Many use Blue Quartz to cleanse the aura and to clear away even the toughest energy blockages.
Physically, Blue Quartz is said to enhance the immune system and encourage proper function of the Lungs, Heart, Throat, and Eyes.
