As an aspiring Wiccan, I have found many uses for the mineral clear quartz. But I am having troubles obtaining the quantity I desire. I would prefer them raw and would go out in look for them myself but where I live all their is is sandstone. So my biggest concern is what site would I go about looking for, for a large quantity of clear quartz?
Quartz is a tetrahedral lattice of common silica, SiO2. It is piezoelectric, which means it has electric potential under stress. Quartz clock, balances and, in the old days, phonograph needles. ( ask you grandma about those ) Go to wiki and you will see a picture of quartz.
