Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals, and as a major constituent in many rocks, it is an important rock-forming mineral. It has been estimated that they can grow about one atomic layer per year ( a two centimeter growing over a period of million years). Quartz has been used since ancient times, as it was believed to be a source of power and energy. While they believed this on an intuitive level, modern measuring equipment has proved this to be correct. Quartz crystal healing may promote the release of negativity and stimulate positive thoughts and feelings. The Quartz's found in Quartzsite were rocks that were formed by erupting volcanoes millions of years ago.
