Clear Quartz Cluster – 5 Types

Always exciting to find a new group of interesting Clear Quartz cluster. Each specimen has a unique look and appeal and I love bringing them back to Australia.

It is rare I can get crystals of this size without major damage. To be honest any better quality and the price jumps up a lot from our suppliers as its much harder to find. Some may have broken points, or more matrix, but they are all a delightful bundle of individual points that grew together and more in many interesting looks.

I would love to know how long in geological times these clusters have been growing. Is it hundred, thousands or even tens of thousand of years?

This stone releases all colours so excellent energy balancer and raises energy to the highest possible level. Helps concentration and focus, and unlocks memory. It increases reflection and clarity of thought. Many people love how it amplifies intentions for manifesting and co-creating with Universe.

Overall the theme for me of this clear quartz cluster is:

• “I am building and expanding more success on the base of past successes”.
• And “don’t be worried about some ‘breaks’ as over all everything is going great”.
• Read more about the shape.

To help you pick, I have created a video – click here, to help you know which crystal specimen is for you.

I don’t know if a geological, metaphysical or decorative buyer will delight in having a clear quartz cluster in the home and I look forward to finding out!
