Design Using Quartz Crystals

Quartz crystals are abundant around the earth.


Quartz crystals have been sought after by rock hounds across the earth for generations. With the multitude of options in color, size and shape, these stones offer a beautiful decorative piece to any home. Quartz crystals are also highly regarded for their supposed healing properties and abundant energy vibrations. Crystals have a vibration frequency that has been suggested to enhance the healing cycles of the body, suggests CrystaLinks.com. Whatever reason you choose to indulge in a quartz crystal, applying it to your home decor can offer beauty and dimension in a variety of applications.


Instructions


1. Choose a quartz crystal that is large enough to house a votive candle or two and has a flat side that can rest stably on a table.








2. Clean and polish the crystal with warm water, toothpaste and a soft bristled brush. This will remove all dirt and debris to reveal the brilliant tones and striations of the actual crystal.


3. Measure the votive size in diameter and depth, then attach a drill bit to your drill that will bore a hole that is just slightly larger than the actual votive candle.


4. Check the depth of the hole in the crystal every so often, by placing the candle in the hole. Once you have drilled adequate space for the votive, dust the particles off the surface of the rock.


5. Clean the rock again with toothpaste and water to reveal the quartz crystal's beauty. Polish the crystal with vinegar for added shine. Place the votive candle into the drilled hole, then position your crystal candle holder in a prominent area of your home to be enjoyed throughout the day.
