Nirvana Quartz by Maryann Sanfilipp! Nirvana Quartz was first found in 2006 at altitudes over 18,000 feet in the Himalayas. They were exposed as glaciers receded due to Global warming. Also known as Ice Quartz, they are irregular crystals which resemble the ice under which they have formed. Meditation with one of these stones is an immersion into deep peace and silence. It is believed that this stone can aid in personal growth and letting go of old patterns, behaviors and thoughts which no longer serve your highest interest. It can be used to clear away negative patterns of thought and memories. They can relieve stress and help you move forward in your life. Nirvana Quartz is said to assist with inner peace, calming and focus. It can help give you the strength needed to make changes in your life. All in all, a good crystal for the coming spring season, fostering growth and renewal.
