Clear Quartz
The Picker's Rock guide calls clear quartz the 'master healer'. The Greeks believed it was ice frozen so hard it would never melt (krystallos). In crystal tradition it amplifies intention and the energy of other stones, which is why it shows up in almost every grid and toolkit.
How people use it
Programmed with an intention, placed at the centre of a crystal grid, or held at the crown in meditation.

Hard and water-safe; the Picker's Rock guide notes it 'can be charged effectively in the sun.'
General cleansing methods from the Picker's Rock beginner's guide: running water, moonlight, selenite bowls and brief sunlight. Read the guide.
