Snow Quartz

Snow quartz is the stone of nurturance and can be worn, carried placed in the home, or planted, to bring a gentle sustaining light to its bearer or area of placement. Also known as the 'milk of the Earth' it is common  across the globe and is very prevalent here in Perthshire, Scotland where it is found in the soil, in the walls of buildings, in drystone dykes and out on the mountains or on the riversides.

It has felt particularly key since our move south and today is being prepared for a garden healing cairn, for the relaunch of Starlight Crystals, and the reactivation of a crystal planting project I began in May 2024 as we were travelling south from Orkney to our new home.

Below it is shown in its tumbled form, as a larger natural piece destined for the cairn, and as lower quality pieces found on recent walks and travels.
