Alabama – STAR BLUE QUARTZ

One of the most beautiful gemstones on earth, Alabama's state gem is the Star Blue Quartz.

Different colored quartz stones are popular state gems. New Hampshire has the smokey quartz, South Dakota the rose and Arkansas and Georgia share the star blue with Alabama. Commercially, quartz is made into glass, eyeglasses, electrical components, abrasives, and gemstones. Since it is so prevalent, the blue quartz is a popular but not costly jewelry selection.

The Star blue quartz is a good healing stone. It eases throat tension, aids the immune system, calms over-stimulation and hyperactivity and assists with detoxification.

It helps the wearer to expand self expression and creativity, enhances organizational abilities, and promotes self-discipline and orderliness. It encourages one to see and accept reality as it actually is.

As a stone of hope, the star blue can lift depression and replace it with peace and happiness. It also has been known to reduce stubbornness and emotional tension.

If you sit with blue quartz between your hands and focus on a person you want to send good thoughts to, you may hear from that person soon. It can also help one express their thoughts and dreams and aid in meditation.

The addition of the Star Blue to my necklace will bring peace and happiness, reduce emotional tension and moderate stubbornness (never happened).

The Star Blue Quartz was named the Alabama state gemstone in 1990.
