Tibetan Quartz: Meaning, Healing Properties & Benefits

Tibetan Quartz is an underrated healing crystal that has a lot to offer. In fact, it’s one of the stones that we recommend most often!

This guide will teach you about the meaning, properties, and potential benefits of Tibetan Quartz. By the time you’re done reading it you’ll be eager to pick up a piece for yourself!

History & Overview

Tibetan Quartz, found high up in the Himalayan Mountains, is thought to be bathed in the spiritual vibrations of these sacred peaks. Because it’s found at such high altitudes, mining needs to be done painstakingly by hand, and many say that this stone is still mined by Tibetan monks who live in the region. Tibetan Quartz can also be found in smaller amounts in parts of India, Russia and Pakistan.

Sometimes called Tibetan Black Quartz, this crystal is really somewhere between clear and white. The black coloration comes from small inclusions of Hematite and carbon. 

This crystal is known for its ability to expand consciousness, cleanse the aura and provide strong protection against negative energy and psychic infiltration.

There are people out there who will try to pass off fake Tibetan Quartz as the real thing. Don’t be fooled by cleaver imitations. There are a few traits to look for if you want to make sure that you are purchasing the real thing.

First of all, even the most perfect looking authentic piece of Tibetan Quartz will have some kind of small imperfection or inclusion. If it is completely flawless, chances are that it’s a fake.

Use a magnifying glass to check for small bubbles. True Tibetan Quartz will not have any bubbles. If you see bubbles, then it’s not real Tibetan Quartz.

Another method is to use a scratch test. Tibetan Black Quartz has a hardness of seven on the Mohs scale. Basically this means that it is able to scratch other stones that are lower on the scale. It should also be able to scratch glass. If your stone puts a scratch in a piece of glass without too much effort, then your stone is the real thing.

Lastly, you can go the technical route and use a gem tester. A real Tibetan Quartz will feel warm to the touch, but glass or a fake stone won’t.

Tibetan Quartz Meaning

This crystal is thought to be a very potent psychic and auric cleanser. The primary Tibetan Quartz meaning is all about helping you reach your highest goals, connect to sacred realms of consciousness and drive away any negativity that could be holding you back.

This crystal just seems to exude the pure, holy spirit of the Himalayas, and its connection to the highest vibrations of the universe is legendary. Tapping into its amazing energy is thought to help the user discover the inner courage, clarity and guidance that’s needed to stay focused on goals, especially financial ones (more on that later).

Often called “The Master Healer Crystal”, Tibetan Quartz is known to have the ability to positively affect just about every aspect of your life. 

When Tibetan Quartz is used as a part of your daily practice, you can feel more supported, protected, and encouraged than ever before. Even better, you have a wide variety of options when it comes to uses!
