Blue Quartz Meaning and Metaphysical Properties
Blue Quartz (sometimes called Blue Aventurine) is a gemstone for inner peace, communicating from a place of healing, and cleansing away negative, stagnant energies. Because of this, Blue Quartz is used very often as a meditation stone by those going on inward journeys. Known for promoting clarity and wisdom, Blue Quartz assists us in creating an internal sanctum, insulating ourselves against the stresses and frustrations of daily life so that we can asses situations rationally and carefully. Resonating with the Higher Chakras (Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and Crown Chakra) and the Water Element, Blue Quartz assists us in spiritual cleansing and emotional healing, allowing us to express, envision, and embody the most divine aspects of our ideal self.

What is Blue Quartz?
Blue Quartz is a natural variety of Quartz crystal whose grey to grey-blue coloration occurs because of inclusions within the stone. These mineral inclusions may feature Crocidolite, Magnesio-riebeckite, or even certain types of Tourmaline. The name Blue Quartz is also used when referring to massive Quartzite with inclusions of blue minerals. Although the presence of Dumortierite can also cause Quartz to take on a violet-blue hue, this is rarer, and the intergrowth is referred to as Dumortierite Quartz, rather than Blue Quartz.

Are Blue Quartz and Blue Aventurine the Same?
Recently, it has become very common for the terms Blue Quartz and Blue Aventurine to be used interchangeably for Quartz gemstones with blue mineral inclusions, since they are mineralogically quite similar. Blue Aventurine is a term that has, in the past, mostly applied to specimens with higher clarity, featuring internal sparkles caused by inclusions of Mica, Hematite, Fuchsite, or even Copper. This is why we call these more opaque pieces "Blue Quartz" although the prevailing trend dictates that "Blue Aventurine" is also an acceptable moniker.

What is a Palm Stone? What is a Worry Stone?
Semi-flat round or ovular stones have been used as meditation tools and fidget toys across many cultures. Sometimes called palm stones, worry stones, fidget stones, or meditation stones, these gems are easy to hold and typically quite pleasant to rub with the thumb. Some feature a flat surface, while others are convex, and still others exhibit a thumbprint divot. The shape and style of crystal palm stones can vary widely, but the most important quality is that they should be comfortable to hold in the hand. Used as a method for grounding and stress relief, crystal palm stones can help us to release anxiety and focus on the present moment by channeling chaotic or negative energies elsewhere. The type of crystal or gemstone your worry stone is made of can also help remind you of your metaphysical intent, and assist you in connecting with the aspects of yourself most associated with that gem. By carrying your crystal palm stone with you in a pocket or pouch, you will always have a meditation tool available to you, even during times when full meditation is not possible.
