It is interesting to note that the planet Venus, which is associated with colorless crystals, has always been regarded as the planet of love and art in both Eastern and Western mythology. Following is some very interesting Vedic information about clear quartz crystals. These seeds germinated primarily in the Himalayas and the lands to their north. These crystals are usually transparent and colorless, and are often so brilliant that they are mistaken for diamonds. Any one respectfully wearing a pure quartz crystal set in gold will attain good fortune in this life and be protected from dangerous animals such as tigers, leopards, wolves, elephants, and lions.
Pure quartz is also an amulet giving the wearer extraordinary sexual prowess.
Wearing quartz while offering libations to departed ancestors insures them lasting happiness. It is also a talisman against drowning, burning and theft. These attributes pertain to pure flawless quartz, and knowledgeable gemologists advise that flawed varieties that are included, fractured, or discolored should be completely avoided. Almost all gemstones are crystals, and the keys to their astral powers are color and clarity. One should only wear gems which transmit the planetary energies appropriate to one's individual horoscope.
