Quartz belongs to the trigonal crystal system, has a Mohs hardness of 7, and commonly forms prismatic crystals with vitreous faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTraditional \u0026amp; Metaphysical Associations\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn crystal traditions, hematoid quartz is associated with grounding, focus, determination, and balancing practical action with clear intention.
