Cactus/Spirit Quartz

Cactus Quartz, also known as Spirit Quartz, is a unique variety of quartz from South Africa. What makes it distinctive is its crystal habit - a large central crystal point surrounded by smaller crystal points, giving it an appearance similar to a cactus. The crystals can be amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow), smoky (brown), or clear in color.

In terms of healing properties, cactus quartz is known as a stone of harmony and alignment. It's believed to align the physical self with the spiritual realm, fostering a sense of peace and spiritual growth.

Specifically, it's associated with promoting group cohesion and resolving conflicts within a group, making it popular for families or workplaces. Its crystal form with multiple points is thought to spread its energy in multiple directions, connecting people together.

Additionally, cactus quartz is also said to help cleanse other crystals, making it a useful stone for those who use crystals for healing or other purposes.
