Associations

Amplification, clarity, and stored intention. Often called the "master" stone because it is paired with almost any other crystal or purpose.

Common uses

• Program it with an intention, then keep it on your altar or in a pocket
• Place at the center of a crystal grid
• Pair it with another stone to strengthen that stone's purpose

Cleansing

Moonlight, smoke, sound, or running water all work.

Metaphysical properties are traditional and modern folk associations, not scientific claims.
