Snow Quartz' Metaphysical and Healing Properties

Snow Quartz - a Crown Chakra Crystal

Snow quartz is a milky white macrocrystalline quartz, that may exhibit diasterism--which is asterism produced within the stone by a light shining through it (rather than on it, which is epiasterism). It's a rather common mineral that can be helpful in assisting us to reach deeper meditative states. Its yin energies offset excessive yang in order to provide balance; as a matter of fact, this stone possesses the same properties as clear quartz, but presents them in a gentler way.

Snow quartz deposits can be found across the globe, but are most commonly found in the United States, Mexico, and Brazil.

Metaphysical Uses for Snow Quartz

The white, sometimes icy-looking appearance of snow quartz provides clue to it being the embodiment of innocence and clarity. It can help the wearer to see the world through less jaded eyes and will allow the wonders of the universe to become more readily visible to them. This stone can be used to activate the crown chakra, and can assist one in connecting with their higher self or with spirit guides. Wearing it or having it in your immediate environment is also believed to dispel negative thoughts and emotions and allow a more positive perspective to come in.

Like any other quartz, snow quartz is very open to programming and tends to hold on to its program for a long time; thus it’s beneficial to use for any metaphysical purpose. For Tarot readers it can prove valuable, as it heightens intuition and facilitates interpreting card messages.
