SPIRIT QUARTZ
CACTUS QUARTZ /PINEAPPLE QUARTZ

(Magaliesberg Mt, S. Africa)

Quartz crystals encrusted by a second generation of smaller crystals grown on the prism faces. The small second generation crystals point away from the prism and their orientation is not related to the crystallographic orientation of the central crystal. Often the tips of the first generation crystals remain free. Spirit Quartz can be found in purple Amethyst, yellow Goethite, white Milky Quartz & red Iron Oxide. The red is the rarest of the colors.

Associated with the sacral, solar plexus, third eye & crown chakras, zodiac signs of Libra, Aquarius & Pisces & Vibrates to the number 5.
