Beta quartz can only exist at temperatures above 573°C and forms a nice symmetrical hexagonal crystal structure. Beta quartz is not stable at room temperature and falls back to quartz.

Beta quartz is also known as "high quartz" and can form both left and right handed crystals. These crystals are found in Indonesian West Java where they, in a volcanic area, have been able to grow under a high temperature. Typical for these crystals is the double pyramid shape.

Beta quartz is very suitable for meditation purposes. It gives deep insights and answers to hidden questions. Beta quartz can also support in penetrating dreams and provide access to answers to inner questions.
