We do not buy dyed or irradiated crystals, not even cut and polished ones. 5. Elestials Quartz Crystal Section: Elestials are often called the King of quartz crystals, justifiably so in our opinion! Elestials are special and very advanced crystals that can have one or all of the following form - Have a bulbous appearance. Elestials often do not conform to the usual rules of Quartz crystal growth and can "seemingly" grow in a haphazard fashion. Elestials are often skeletal formation [made up of layers] , this also leads some of them to be Enhydro crystals [crystals with water bubbles inside, some of which move!] Elestials often have etching which we believe to be a universal language read by eyes and touch. These crystals are sought after and used by many crystal workers, esp the very advanced light workers. We have often seen people who are just starting on their crystal journey who think Elestials are ugly, only to fall in love with them as they have evolved into a position to utilize them. Elestials on the whole are PACKED with information. They are true Master Class Crystals. For the definitive online information center on Elestials click here 6.

Here At Majestic Quartz, you can always find a stunning selection of some of the finest Quartz Laser Wands in the world! You can find out more information on Laser Wands by clicking here. 7.

Included crystals are rare and precious gifts from Mother Earth. We take delight in offering a unique and unusual crystals in this section. 12. White Wisdom Quartz Section:This section has the finest quality Milky Quartz crystals around. White Wisdom Quartz Crystals are a key part of upgrading the human consciousness pool.

They promote relaxation and helps relieve stress, almost a prerequisite when using computers! 15. Faden QuartzSection:Though most dealers say these crystals originate in Pakistan, they more often than not come from Afghanistan, or right on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. I guess to some dealers it sounds more politically palatable that way. As these crystals play a very important role in this contentious region, there is no room for the head in the sand approach here at Majestic Quartz! 16. Included Quartz Section: Are you looking for Rutilated Quartz, Tourmaline included Quartz or Chlorite included Quartz? Congratulations, you have found the perfect place to meet these wondrous crystals and many other forms of Included Quartz! These fascinating combinations of minerals and quartz come together, fusing two or more energies together in perfect harmonious synchronicity.

We are very humble and grateful to the Universe and the "All That Is" that has enabled us to share these beautiful wonders of Mother Earth with you. Back to Top
About the Crystal Stands/Bases at Majestic Quartz We make bases for just about every natural Quartz crystal and mineral we sell. The reason we do this, is so the aesthetic properties of the crystal specimen will stand out more prominently. The crystals can come alive noticeably when standing proudly in their stands. Moe-Awhi uses modeling clay, which being a very grounding neutral energy will enhance rather than clash with the crystals energy. Often, we inlay the bases with New Zealand Paua shell. New Zealand has the brightest form of Abalone shell in the world bar none. We do not charge for the bases nor do we charge freight for them. These are just a few more bonuses you get when dealing with Majestic Quartz! We use white modeling clay so people may dress them up if they so choose. We have painted many of our personal ones gold for instance. We know other people have painted them as to look like matrix and such and they look great! The stands/bases may also be decorated using materials such as glitter, tiny tumbled stones, paint, dyes and many more. Making the Stands/Bases for Yourselves If you are a long term Majestic Quartz customer, you may wish to make these stands for specimens purchased from us prior to us making the stands or crystals purchased from other suppliers. Well, here is how you do it. 1. The modeling clay we use is the DAS brand. DAS may be purchased from most hobby and craft shops. Many toy shops also stock it. 2. Using a knife, cut off a section of the DAs Roll it up into a ball between your hands. Place a piece of plastic cellophane/lunch wrap or equivalent on the ball of DAs This will protect the crystal from the wet DAs saving you the trouble of cleaning the crystal later. 3. Now get the crystal and gently push it into the DAs until it is well supported, it will be necessary to knead the DAs a little around the sides of the crystal. 4. Once you are happy with the stance of the crystal, gently pull it out, remove the plastic from the base ant let it try for a few days. 5. Once the base is try, it may have shrunk just a little. Get a sharp knife and gently carve away any DAs until you are able to sit the crystal in the stand/base. Back to Top 6. Decorate it if you want to, sit back and enjoy :-)
Here at Majestic Quartz we have a real passion for crystals. This is reflected in our descriptions. All Majestic Quartz crystals are hand picked by either Anthony or Moe-Awhi. For this reason, the crystals at Majestic Quartz are all excellent examples of their kind. In each crystal description we tend to concentrate on to the aesthetic properties of the specimen. At the end of most crystal descriptions we have provided clickable links for further information on that crystal type (Once clicked on, the information page will open in a separate window.) Due to our natural passion for crystals, we frequently use superlatives in our descriptions. Considering the crystals we write descriptions for each day, it is hard not to! Back to Top

Good condition - Minor damage visible but does not detract from the overall look of the crystal. 5. Average condition - Has damage, but is still a nice crystal.

Below the Description and photos you will find a Dimensions/Price/Code Table with the following details. 1. Weight: We give the weight in both metric and imperial units.

Size: We use both Inches and Centimeters. Where we can, we measure the length, width and depth of crystals. For spheres and such, we can only give the diameter. (We recommend you have a ruler handy when viewing the crystals. You may also wish to draw the dimensions onto a piece of paper for a more accurate idea of size.) 3. Price: We show the price in US Dollars. 4. Code: The crystal code is the unique identifier for that particular crystal. (Should you have any queries on a particular crystal, please quote the crystal code number in the E-mail to us.) Back to Top
We do not consider a crystal sold until the customer receives it and is satisfied with the specimen. We realize that it takes a lot of trust to order a crystal from a Website, especially one that may be in a different country to yourself. We are honored that over 1000 people have chosen to do so with Majestic Quartz. At the time of writing this, we have processed well over 11,000 crystals spread over 4000 orders. Of those specimens sent, less than 0.012 % have been returned and less than 0.005% have been lost in transit. These figures show that most of our sales are via returned customers. We believe this fact speaks for itself. The Majestic team would like to thank all our current and future customers for showing us this trust. We take this honor of trust in our integrity seriously and will continue to strive to bring you quality specimens that will always be an an investment of knowledge and beauty. Back to Top
