First Things First: What Is Quartz?
Quartz is one of the most abundant and versatile minerals on Earth. It's made of silicon dioxide and comes in a variety of forms—clear, smoky, rose, amethyst, citrine, and beyond. But every so often, Mother Nature decides to throw a twist on a classic and creates something with a bit more edge—literally.
So What Does “Double Terminated” Mean?
A Double Terminated crystal has a natural point at both ends, instead of the typical single-terminated point that grows from a base. This means the crystal grew freely in a pocket of rock (often called a “vug”), surrounded by space instead of attached to a host rock like most crystals. The result? A beautiful, symmetrical piece of Quartz with energy that flows in both directions.
What Makes It Special?
Aside from its eye-catching shape, Double Terminated Quartz is often believed to:
-
Channel energy in two directions
-
Enhance balance, clarity, and flow
-
Bridge gaps between two points—whether that’s people, ideas, or emotions
Think of it as a two-way street for energy, intention, or communication. It’s especially popular among energy workers, Reiki practitioners, and crystal lovers who are drawn to its symmetry and strength.
