1648.0. "Crystal Help" by PHAROS::FANTOZZI () Wed Mar 25 1992 18:46

    
    I am new to all of this. But, while I was on vacation in California
    in January I bought a crystal, a blue brazilian quartz, very striking
    color, almost neon blue looking. I thought it was pretty. 
    But I don't know much about it.
    
    I came home and soaked it in sea salt for 24 hours, my roommate told me
    I should do that.
    
    I do know, however, that a couple times I have worn it to bed, probably
    because I forgot it was on or was to tired to remember to take it off,
    I have had some weird dreams or feelings. One night one of them
    happened.
    
    Does anyone know much about this type of crystal? I read the crystal
    posting but did not see anything that resembled it.

Mary,

I haven't worked with Blue Quartz much so I can't give you
a lot of information on it.  It might be best to take your
stone and hold it, clear your mind, and ask the stone how 
it best works with you.

Quartz is a good stone in general for communication.  Being
blue would enhance that quality.  I do think of Blue Quartz
as a communication stone (a 5th chakra stone) and a gentle 
stabilizer.  A self expression stone.

As far as cleaning stones, I basically use sea salt and 
spring water.  Salt should only be used with harder stones
(quartz, onyx, etc) while the softer stones (malachite,
turquoise, etc) are best soaked in just spring water (salt 
erodes the surface/finish). 

Salt is a cleanser.  The sea salt we get is from deep ocean
waters (cleaner).  The waters close to shore are polluted and
do not make for a good cleansing agent.  The ocean/sea has 
always meant healing/cleansing to me and therefore I do soak
my stones for 7 day (new stones).  I place the container in
the window to give them sunlight and moonlight.

Now to your stone.  Blue Quartz is usually a greyish stone 
with blue tinge to it.  I do have a piece that also has a 
darker blue streak inside.  I have never seen a sort of neon 
blue colored stone.  I would think that perhaps your stone 
might have been heat treated or gold treated to obtain that 
color. 

I've requested more information on Blue Quartz from a friend
who has worked with the stone a bit more.  Will post it if 
she has anything else to add.

Enjoy your stone and remember those dreams.

                I agree with what Joanne stated in .3. I tend to use Kosher
     (coarse or pretzel) salt and or spring water plus moon/sun light.
    I've never heard of naturally occuring blue quartz (but there could be 
    I supose). The common quartz are: clear- quartz, yellow- citrine, 
    purple (varying in shade and intensity)- amethyst, brown- smokey quartz
    (some times clear quartz is iradiated to produce a smoky color), pink-
    rose quartz.
    
              It is entirely possible that it is actually verry light
    colored amethyst. Eastern United States amethyst is often this color.
    Brazilian amethyst is noted for its deep purple color and consistency 
    of color. 
    
             At any rate enjoy the stone and have a good life.
    
    
                                Later,

    I have seen BLUE quartz.  I took a trip to Colorado Springs on
    business, and wandered around (I forget the name of the park, the one
    with the "sleeping giant").  I bought a box of stones, and the colors
    ranged from clear to grey to black, browns, purple, pink, kind of
    orange, blue, green, and very deep pink.  All very distinct, beautiful,
    colors.
    
    I ended up using the blue one for protection.
