Quartz can be called a whole group of minerals, as it is a rock-forming stone. Amethyst, citrine, crystal, topaz, jasper and many others are derived from it. All of them are most often used as decorations due to their beauty. In nature, there is not a single shade, which would not have quartz stones.

Especially from this long list stand out rainbow quartz and mystical topaz. Each such stone is truly unique. They have bright and unusual colors. In addition to the charming appearance, rainbow and mystic quartz have useful and even magical properties. In this article we will tell you about who these noble stones are most suitable for and what benefits they bring to their master.

Features

Rainbow quartz, in fact, is an ordinary quartz stone, inside of which various cracks appeared in the process of its formation, water droplets or air bubbles fell. Thanks to these defects, the crystal is able to refract light rays, creating a well-known rainbow effect, for which it received its name.

However, the demand for rainbow quartz today is great, but to extract so much natural stone is very problematic. Often, various companies resort to creating rainbow quartz by artificial means. To do this, take the intact crystal (otherwise it may collapse in the process) and is subjected to rapid temperature changes. That is, it heats up and immediately cools, which entails the appearance of the necessary cracks.

In the laboratory also get 2 more popular varieties of quartz, which does not exist in nature. The first one is titanium quartz. To create it, the rainbow crystal is placed in a vacuum chamber, where it is exposed to high pressure and temperatures up to 900 degrees Celsius. The heated stone becomes pliable enough to inject titanium fumes into it, which give it a unique bluish tint.

The second species is mystic quartz, or mystical topaz. It was opened relatively recently, in the early 1990s. The cheapest raw materials are colorless stones. They are irradiated with radiation, and then deposited from gold, silver or titanium.

Thus, this very mystical view is obtained with a variety of iridescent shades and a mirror reflection.

It should be noted that, depending on the place of their formation and external conditions, crystals may have different colors. That is why each stone is unique.

It is an essential element in various electronic and optical devices. People found quartz at all times, inscribing it in the mythology of their people. For example, the already mentioned ancient Greeks considered these crystals as gifts of the goddess Iris, who scattered them all over the Earth.
