Type: Pocket Stone Material: Rutilated Quartz Country Of Origin: Brazil Availability: Limited History Quartz is the second most common mineral in the Earth’s crust, after Feldspar. The word Quartz itself probably draws its name from ‘Quarz’ which has Eastern European origins. Another theory is that the name derives from ancient Greek ‘Krustallos’ meaning ice, because the Greeks believed it to be ice that never melted. Whatever the nomenclature, it is true that Quartz has been used since ancient times with prehistoric man using it to fashion tools. The Sumerians, at the height of their power, used the crystal to fashion engraved seals for official documentation.
