Q:Which is less absorbant to stains and smells?Ideas for the kitchen bench tops...

I would not think so. It is all around in California. Rosy quartz is often associated with gold.

Q:Hey, just wanted to verify that this material that I find almost everywhere is the mineral quartz and not a rock.

Pure quartz is silicon dioxide (SiO2) so there's not much there a plant can use as a nutrient. There's a potential for trace elements, however, as some silicates have impurities that give them a color other than the clear of pure quratz - that's how we get rose quartz, smoky quartz, rutilated quartz, amethyst, citrine, etc. But even if nutrients are present, quartz dissolves extremely slowly. Otherwise many of the world's sand beaches wouldn't exist.

Q:Hello. Here is an image of a crystal that I was given as a gift. I have no information about the item, I initially labeled it as quartz, but I examined the crystal structure and it does not seem consistent with a quartz pattern.

Chemically, quartz is silicon dioxide, and calcite is calcium carbonate. Two simple means of distinguishing them are: 1) Hardness: quartz is 7 on the Mohs scale

Q:What is quartz used for, and i mean what is it in the sandpaper or whatever what does it do in the watch what is an oscilator or what ever and what does the quartz do

The stone will not cause that, but did warn you of changes in your love life. Cleanse the stone (sea salt, running water, bury in some soil, or smudge with sage are some ways to do that) and recharge it with your thoughts of a happy, fulfilling love life. It is also wise for you to concentrate in what is going wrong for you and how you can bring things back into balance for you. EDIT: You really don't need to get a new one. Damaged crystals are sometimes called warriors because they've been through the tough stuff and survived. Their energy is strengthened by the chips and dings they've had. Your broken crystal can still radiate its energy towards your love life, but you still should examine what it is that has occurred in that area of your life and see what changes need to be made to make you and your crystal happy again!

Q:i have just got some more rose quartz. last time i bought some the little piece of paper said to put it on top of my computer, something to do with the electricity giving it energy. but where else can you put it to get thebenefits from it ? ive read under my pillow and in the bath for a good nights sleep, but thats it. any more ideas on it ? thanks

Quartz is not poisonous, it does not cause any reactions that I ve ever heard of by itself, but depending on the size and shape of the stone, it could cause issues as it passes through the stomach and intestines. It could cause blockages, or if there are sharp edges on the stone it could cause internal injuries (this would be very, very bad).

Q:If a spell requires a quartz crystal-can a quartz crystal stone be used instead?

Yes, it sure is.
