Pineapple Quartz is the name given to the formation of (usually) cloudy white Quartz in which the main crystal point is covered by tiny terminations that point towards the termination of the main crystal. The formation resembles wax running down a candle. Pineapple Quartz, also known as Celestial or Candle Quartz, is a comforting crystal that is soothing for the heart chakra and can be useful for any kind of pain or unhappiness. A stone of hope, it can alleviate feelings of depression and despair and allow you to feel emotionally balanced. Emotionally, Pineapple Quartz teaches us that we are never truly alone, and connects us to the divine love of our inner being. This stone helps develop emotional independence and interdependence, showing when it is beneficial to rely on and share with a partner in a mutually supportive situation, and when to stand alone. It assists our partners in not feeling isolated when we practice emotional autonomy and, if necessary, helps us to leave a partnership that no longer serves us with loving grace.
