As I read, a cluster of quartz crystal can cleanse and recharge other crystal's energy. This afternoon, I just bought a cluster of quartz crystal and a cluster of amethyst. Could someone give me the advance and information on how to cleanse there clusters to get rid negative energy they might absorb in the store? Thank you.
Simply put: Quartz is very hard, Calcite and Gypsum are not. To expand, Quartz is a giant covalent lattice of SiO2 tetrahedrons. Each tetrahedron is covalently bonded to the next meaning the whole structure is both regular and very tough - the Si-O covalent bonds take a lot of energy to break! Calcite CaCO3 is not only very soft, but not as chemicaly stable as quartz (infact it reacts with acid), similarly Gypsum CaSO4.2H2O is an incredibly soft mineral, so soft you can scratch it with your fingernail! Now, Imagine all three of these chemicals are broken down into sand, and picked up by the wind and thrown against say a basalt rock face. Well, it's pretty simple to imagine whats going to do the most damage. If the rock being eroded is harder than the eroding particles it's going to take a very long time for it to be worn away. Soft Gypsum and Calcite grains will simply have no or very little effect on a rockface. Quartz however is harder than steel, and this means it's going to do the most damage to whatever it's hurled at by the wind. Now it's not like a bullet or anything, but millions of grains and billions of years with good wind and you can see the results all around you - most desert erosion comes from quartz sand.
