So I got a new crystal today, and I’ve been doing some research on it. I got a Spirit Quartz from our local new age shop in town. I’m just curious if anyone here is more familiar with this crystal and its properties. Today is the first time I’ve seen or heard of it. It’s so beautiful I had to have one lol. Here’s a picture. It’s somewhat phallic in shape lol

Ohhhhhhh 
All I can say is that it’s a pretty (and shiny!) one 
I don’t consider myself to be an expert with crystals- even looking at the Crystal ID chart, I wouldn’t place money on my guess haha. I’m going to step back and let the talented crystal experts of the forum work their magick. I am sure they will have some great guesses for you 
That being said, you might be able to run the pictures through a Crystal Identifier App and see what it says- here’s a link to Google Lens that might help give you an idea 
Whatever it is, it looks neat! May your new crystal serve you well @Assyla555 
Blessed be!

I’m no crystal expert yet lol but it looks like a calcite or clear quartz but don’t hold me to that like I said I’m not an expert but it is one beautiful crystal whatever it may be!

The owner of the shop said it is spirit quartz. I just like coming to you guys for info as well. 
Especially for crystals that are new to me.

Oh that’s so pretty! And you’re right about the shape 
that was my first though!
I did find some information on Spirit Quartz on MinDat, a very reputable source for minerals and crystals.
Quartz crystals encrusted by a second generation of smaller crystals grown on the prism faces. The small second generation crystals point away from the prism and their orientation is not related to the crystallographic orientation of the central crystal. Often the tips of the first generation crystals remain free.
Also called spirit quartz or pineapple quartz.
So it looks like it’s a quartz cluster on top of a quartz crystal. How interesting!

Oh wow, thanks @MeganB for looking it up. 
That is really interesting information. I haven’t had a chance to do too much research yet so thank you. And thank you for the reliable source. I’m going to add that to my list for crystal identification.

I saw this yesterday, before anyone had responded…You cannot imagine the restraint it has taken to not respond to the obvious likeness with a bunch of grade school jokes…

You’re very welcome! MinDat is very much a scholarly source, so if you’re looking for spiritual meanings of crystals, you won’t find those there 
but you will find what different crystals look like, their hardness score, and what they’re made of!

Part of me wanted to link that to a viagra or porn site - but I did not. As it happens spirit quartz doesn’t exactly treat ED.
Is it white or smoky? Smoky spirit quartz does “utilize Wood Energy.” Make what you want of that…

Every time I have seen spirit quartz it has a phallic appearance. I haven’t bought any yet, but my local shop has cards next to each type of crystal. From what I remember, it is a great stone for meditation. It also is good for aligning chakras. With less confidence I can say I think it is useful for astral travel.

I have to admit that my mind tends to reside in the gutter so I had to resist the d*** jokes, lol.
As for properties of Spirit Quartz, I love Tiny Rituals for their information on crystals. Here is a snippet on white spirit quartz. They have way more info about it on the site linked above.
White Spirit Quartz - Glistening in shades of white to icy opaque, the White Spirit Quartz activates all energy points in the physical body. With its cleansing and clearing vibes, it can shake loose any blockages, revitalize your soul, and bring everything into alignment.
It is also said to help with fertility issues…
You scored yourself a very beautiful crystal, even with the shape, lol.

Well, since we have the technical & metaphysical side down… phallic… yes… I actually have a piece that is very similar & a piece of “Cactus” Amethyst… & yes it’s the same. Everytime I look at them… there’s that gutter mind giggle… every day really… they are on my main altar
That’s my “Cactus” Amethyst. It’s really sparkly & more of a lavender color mostly… but that’s the side that always makes me think… “Well, someone’s ready…”

Puts a whole new twist on the old saying “go sit on a cactus” doesn’t it… 
Enjoy your crystals ladies, just maybe not internally… there are special ones for that
