A collector could easily have hundreds of quartz specimens and not have two that are the same due to the many broad categories. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quartz is usually clear, but in granite it is also cloudy white or grayish in color. It can also be dark {as in smoky quartz}. Many gemstones are actually less common colored varieties of quartz. Examples include purple amethyst,yellow citrine, and pink rose quartz. Because quartz is so resistant to weathering due to its chemical composition and atomic bonds, it accumulates as the other minerals in a rock erode. Light colored beach, Aeolian and alluvial sand is composed of mainly quartz grains. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The use of Crystals for crystal healing or gem healing, has been linked to mental, physical, spiritual health, charkas' energy, whose Healing Power followers of the New Age, Psychic Healing and Atlantis and Crystal Healers have long revered for relieving pain, stress, depression, anxiety in the mind, body and spirit. Spiritual Healers believe this approach to alternative medicine is essential for ensuring health. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Spiritual Healers, no stone is as essential to their craft as quartz. Embodying all the qualities they seek, it is the quintessential healing crystal. Part of this faith they place in Quartz comes from its scientific properties that make it useful in electronic devices. From this one truth, Crystal Healers make huge leaps in logic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proceed now &lt;a href="http://www.philippine-resorts.com/diamonds/quartz.htm"&gt; Quartz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7203061899045677578/posts/default/4492757683240426679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7203061899045677578/posts/default/4492757683240426679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.philippine-resorts.com/diamonds/2008/09/quartz.html' title='Quartz'/><author><name>Internet Marketing Coach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01525705223220075055</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203061899045677578.post-4638246007162122896</id><published>2008-07-08T19:37:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2008-07-08T19:39:17.632+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Quartz 2</title><content type='html'>Rose quartz is the essential stone for increasing love and for times of extreme emotional turmoil, such as divorce, bereavement or career set backs because it helps to remind the wearer of the importance of self-love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It stimulates the body's love centers and can result in peace and fidelity in committed relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more Quartz 2 at &lt;a href="http://www.philippine-resorts.com/diamonds/quartz2.htm"&gt;http://www.philippine-resorts.com/diamonds/quartz2.htm&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7203061899045677578/posts/default/4638246007162122896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7203061899045677578/posts/default/4638246007162122896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.philippine-resorts.com/diamonds/2008/07/quartz-2.html' title='Quartz 2'/><author><name>Internet Marketing Coach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01525705223220075055</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203061899045677578.post-6111897823875330477</id><published>2008-06-20T13:47:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-20T13:47:25.926+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Are you unhappy with the appearance of your face?</title><content type='html'>- Do you have scars, problems with acne, excess fat and skin, or is your face starting to show the early signs of aging?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Do you feel that your teeth are having a negative impact on your otherwise glowing smile?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether you are looking to get a tummy tuck, a facelift, or a breast reduction, you may be curious as to what all of your options are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the fact that you do have a number of different treatment options, many men and women in your shoes opt for cosmetic surgery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, is cosmetic surgery right for you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a big step.
