Quartz as a whole has nearly limitless abilities. It magnifies & connects energies & clear quartz can mimic the energies of other stones even. When blended with a stone, such as amethyst, citrine, or sodalite, quartz magnifies those stones' inherent energies. I'll describe clear quartz more here, & other types I'm using so far are listed separately within. Quartz points have polarity that can change with atmosphere.

Quartz can be worn to help one with a desired purpose or to simply lend energy & rejuvenate. Meditation & chakra work benefit from quartz, & ones perspectives can be completely changed.
