Quartz

Quartz is a crystal (shop SKU QW98) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Quartz is crystalline silica, a hard, durable mineral found in many colors and habits. In crystal traditions, quartz is often associated with clarity. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.
