Clear or colourless quartz can be totally transparent and glass-like, or have beautiful internal patterns and rainbows. It brings clarity, balance, alignment & harmony. It activates all systems of the body & all levels of consciousness.

For some people it can help to increase vitality when they lack energy or feel low; for others it can bring calmness and a feeling of wellbeing. It clears blockages & limitations at all levels of Being, protects against unwanted energies, increases awareness & promotes spiritual growth. It amplifies thought-forms, prayers & the effects of all other crystals, & can focus & enhance other forms of healing.

Garnet is a powerful crystal that increases life force energy. I often read that it is grounding, but to me it has a fluid energy with a lot of movement. It brings energy, positivity, confidence and determination to get things done. If you have been avoiding tackling things that need to be done, or putting up with things you know are not good for you – pick up a Garnet to bring the energy you need - and deal with it.

Garnet is excellent for increasing passion for life, and passion in love. Garnet and Rose Quartz are a great Love mix.

Although it increases energy, you need to be relatively strong to benefit from the energy frequency of Garnet. If your energy is very depleted, it may be overpowering, and you might benefit initially from the gentle nourishment of pink or green crystals, before bringing in the power of red.
