Around the world wonderful uses of quartz are known, a mineral whose properties have been used by man to carry out manufacturing processes not only of jewelry and beauty accessories but also for a variety of purposes, ranging from industrial processes until its use in the application of relaxation and meditation techniques for the benefit of the physical, mental and spiritual health of individuals.
In this context, we must point out that quartz is often used in healing processes, placing it on the skin or directly in the area where there is some condition or pain, since it has analgesic properties that give it the quality of calming pain caused by burns, as well as it is also useful to relieve migraines, headaches, back pain, menstrual pain, among other types of pain.
On the other hand, quartz is used in meditation sessions, placing the stones in the hands or on the third eye in order to relax the body, to eliminate stress and to make energies flow.
These therapeutic uses of quartz make it a mineral widely used by believers in the management of energies, since it is considered to have positive vibrations that directly affect the energy vortices of the human organism, unblocking the chakras and purifying the negatively charged environments. In addition, it is used to overcome negative emotions and depressions, as well as states of mind that show a flow of negative energies.
Likewise, quartz is highly recognized due to its varied energy uses, since it acts to dissipate the negative radiations that accumulate around electronic devices such as computers and television, which are used by people for many hours, being exposed to this type of negative radiation that quartz neutralizes.
But the physical properties of quartz give it very useful capabilities for the development of fundamental objects in modern life such as glass, for which the industry uses it as a raw material for the manufacture of various types of glass, while its sand is used for the production processes of fiberglass, special glass, flat glass and glass containers. Likewise, finely ground quartz sands are widely used as an abrasive and in the production of scrubbing cleaners, as well as in sanding and cutting products.
This quartz sand is also used for its high resistance to crushing, as flow in the metal casting and, it is used in the oil industry in the processes of hydraulic fracturing with the objective of carrying out the necessary suspensions in the oil and gas wells at very high pressures.
But its multiple uses do not stay there. This versatile mineral is used as filler in the paint, putty and rubber manufacturing process, granules for ceilings and as a filtering medium, which represent fundamental materials in the construction industry, as well as being very useful in the traction processes of the railway and mining industries.
Going into another area, quartz has wonderful properties that give it the ability to vibrate in precise and stable frequencies, so its crystals are an indispensable part in the development of time instruments whose operation must be extremely precise, as well as equipment of radio and television that require the transmission of signals in those types of frequencies.
These quartz crystals are used as tiny devices that are called “crystal oscillators”. They were developed for the first time in the 1920s, and later in the 1940s, millions of them were used during the 5 years of the Second World War.
Nowadays, these crystal oscillators are an important part of the process of making watches, cell phones, computers, televisions, radios, GPS, electronic games, electronic meters, among other devices that are fundamental in the modern world of the 21st century.
As you can see, those stones that you usually see in jewelry of all kinds provide man with wonderful uses such as those explained above, but they also have a very important property, which the optical capacity gives thanks to which they are raw materials in the making of lenses, microscopes, telescopes, specialized filters in lasers, electronic sensors and scientific instruments, so the scientific field finds in this mineral an extremely useful tool.
Finally, we must emphasize that one of the companies that uses this stone is jewelry, because for centuries it has found a magnificent material to elaborate jewelry of all kinds in this mineral due to its excellent properties as its durability and hardness, because it generally accepts a brilliant polish, in addition to the fact that there is a wide variety of quartz such as amethyst, citrine, rose quartz, smoky quartz and aventurine, as well as agate and jasper which are varieties with a microcrystalline structure that makes them stand out in any recognized garment design by jewelry designers worldwide.
