BENEFITS OF WEARING A QUARTZITE NECKLACE
Quartzite stabilizes positive changes by anchoring them in the fabric of your physical body and inner aspects. It helps prevent you from slipping back to your old state after you undergo any uplifting change, such as a healing or spiritual experience. Quartzite also ensures that changes do not occur so rapidly that your overall balance is upset; t holds the reins and prevents changes from occurring too swiftly.

Because a human being consists of so many levels, Quartzite cannot anchor every change on every level at once. However, people's changes usually have focal points, and this is where Quartzite does its work. It focuses on the area of your life that is experiencing the most change, activity, and growth. This area is usually reflected as the most highly charged part in your aura. Quartzite throws an anchor on this area. It produces a still point, in which the Quartzite essentially asks the body to stop these changes for a while, reevaluate itself, and make any necessary corrections.

Often when we place a great deal of attention on one area of our lives, we neglect other areas. Attention is life. If you focus most of your attention on the area that is changing most and withdraw your attention from other areas, these other areas will suffer from a lack of life force. When you wear Quartzite, the area that has received the most attention will be put "on hold." This will allow you to nourish and give attention to the other, neglected areas. If these areas need to release something, they will be able to release it; if they need to relax, they will be able to relax, and so on. With these needs taken care of, when the Quartzite is removed, you will be in a better position to handle your changes.

Because changes are regarded as a barometer of growth, people often perceive them as good things. Yet sometimes people don't feel completely ready for certain changes, or they feel overwhelmed by them and can lose perspective. When changes seem overwhelming to you, it is probably because they are happening too rapidly and your other aspects are trying to tell you they also need attention and nourishment. This is the time it is wise to wear Quartzite. Then, the primary focus of your changes will be put on hold, and your other aspects will be nourished and given what they need. You will also be better able to put your changes in perspective and to readjust your life accordingly. When you remove the Quartzite, its anchor will also be removed. Then you will be able to resume your changes at their previous rate, and the original focus of your changes will again receive your full attention. Hopefully, however, you will be able to continue in a more balanced way.

Quartzite's ability to produce a still point can be helpful for people who are hyperactive or whose minds are very overactive. As the Quartzite stabilizes the person's brain waves, his or her thought processes slow down. Also, people who suffer from mental illnesses caused by erratic brain-wave activity may experience some symptom relief when wearing Quartzite.

Quartzite can also be used to anchor a specific positive change. Often, when we have had an uplifting experience, we want to hold on longer to its beneficial effects. Such an experience might include reading an inspiring book, receiving a healing therapy, attending an illuminating seminar, or being blessed with a spiritual experience. When you have experienced a beneficial change, a healing, or some degree of progress, Quartzite helps stabilize that progress. Wearing Quartzite for several hours after such an experience helps stabilize your uplifted state, thereby helping you to integrate it more profoundly into your being. At the same time, it helps establish a new state of balance that includes this change. Then, when you remove the Quartzite, you will be more inclined to take the next step forward than to slip back to your previous state.

When you wear Quartzite, it encourages your physical body to slow down - not metabolically, but in its movements. The Quartzite doesn't discourage you from moving or moving quickly; instead it promotes efficiency in your physical movements. As you go about your activity, you may notice that your physical body is moving with more grace. Interestingly, you may not notice this effect until after you have removed the Quartzite.

CONTRAINDICATION IN PREGNANCY
A pregnant woman should not wear Quartzite around her neck or on her spine. Doing so could obstruct the vortex of life force centered on the fetus. Until her child is born, a pregnant woman should use Quartzite only on her extremities - such as her knees, feet, elbows, or hands - and only for very short periods.

A ONE-PERSON GEMSTONE
Because Quartzite stores records about the person who wears it, a Quartzite necklace should become the personal tool of only one person.

WEARING QUARTZITE BY ITSELF
Quartzite is the only gemstone that must be worn alone. If it is used with another gemstone necklace, the Quartzite's effects will be canceled out. This property is unique to Quartzite.

AMOUNT TO WEAR
Quartzite has profound effects when used appropriately and sparingly. An adult should never wear more than one Quartzite necklace at a time. A necklace that falls just above or slightly below the heart will work best. When the necklace falls to the area of the heart, its effects emphasize the energies of the heart chakra. Ideally, Quartzite's energy should affect your entire being and all your aspects equally.

A child should use one short necklace that, when worn around the neck, falls significantly above the stomach area.

TIME GUIDELINES
In general, wear Quartzite for no more than two hours at a time. Wear it constantly for no more than one week at a time; then wait several weeks before considering whether you need to wear it again.

When you remove the Quartzite, your attention will return to the original focus of your changes; by wearing the Quartzite for only short periods, your body will not be shocked by the effects of rapid change returning to your life.

THERAPEUTIC QUALITY
Therapeutic-quality Quartzite occurs in a range of clarity, from opaque to various grades of translucency. It has a rich, pure white color, with no impurities. To be therapeutic, Quartzite must have no impurities or other colors, specks, or spots within it.

Opaque Quartzite can be used to anchor purely physical changes or to help the body catch up to some of the inner changes resulting from other gemstone therapies. However, for general therapeutic use, translucent Quartzite is preferred over opaque. The spheres in a Quartzite necklace should contain a consistent degree of translucency. Spheres that display some opalescence possess an added therapeutic value.

The energy of transparent, clear Quartzite falls outside the frequency picture of therapeutic Quartzite and is more akin to Quartz.

THERAPIES AND PROCEDURES:
  POST-TREATMENT ANCHORING TECHNIQUE
Quartzite is placed on a localized area of the body or worn around the neck to anchor and stabilize the positive changes resulting from another life-giving therapy with either a physical or inner focus.

SUPPORT FOR SPIRITUAL FOCUS
A Quartzite necklace is worn during a contemplative period to turn the conscious attention away from the distractions of life and to help establish or reestablish a spiritual focus.

RESTORING A HEALTHIER STATE
Quartzite is used to restore a previous, healthier state that resulted from a life-giving therapy or other positive experience. This therapy utilizes Quartzite's ability to record and store information about the person who wears it. Quartzite is held on the brow to highlight and "download" the frequency picture of the earlier, healthier state into the brain and body.

TENSION RELEASE
Quartzite is used to relieve tension or pain in the head, neck, or shoulders or to ease insomnia or a feeling of being wired. Two spheres in a Quartzite necklace are held in the palms of the hands to induce a still point and drain the excess energy from the upper body that may be causing the discomfort.
