Crystal Meaning 
“Clear Quartz is believed to heal and energize the body.  It acts as an amplifier.  It absorbs the energy from nature & draws down light from angels and the cosmos.  This energy is then released as automatic ongoing cleansing and healing into your energy & chakras.  Clear quartz appears in traditions of almost every culture and age and was believed to contain pure life-force.  Even the smallest quartz carries the properties of a master healer/teacher because in its sparkling white light it contains the entire colour spectrum.  If you have only one healing crystal it should be clear quartz.”
 ~Eason, Cassandra, ‘The New Crystal Bible’, 2010, p133

~*~ The Crystal Light-Web Materials ~*~
Each crystal is made from high-vibration Himalayan crystal quartz & gemstones from Nepal. Local villagers who live in the mountains bring them to suppliers & i hand-select the pieces for their powerful energies. Most of the crystals are brought down from over 5,000m, where they’ve been growing with the powerful spirits of the Himalaya. At this altitude, the crystals are ready to be collected by hand (without dynamite or machines, meaning the Earth is loved and respected).

Getting to know the Chakras is a great way to know about gemstones.

Gemstones

Each gem is a gift from the Earth.  They share benefits with us & help us to activate our potential.  Gems will enhance different elements within us & support us in our daily lives. 
Here are the meanings of the gemstones i sometimes weave around the Light-Web Crystal Quartz (except Kyanite).
 

Kyanite - communication, high vibration, dreaming, connects to Higher Self and Guides. (Does not accumulate negative energies, so never needs to be cleansed or cleaned.)
