In ancient times, these stones were thought to be alive, taking a breath once every hundred years or so, and many cultures thought them to be incarnations of the Divine.
Alana Fairchild in her book, Angel Crystals 444, describes clear quartz as
“… a Master Healer. It amplifies energy – hence the teaching from the Angel of Clear Quartz is to become clear and aware of your energy, intention and thought.”
