White Quartz Crystal as an Accent Piece

Due to their gleaming iridescent luster and milky white tones, White Quartz are often used in home design projects by interior designers.

 

As one of the most abundant stones in the world, White Quartz is often used in its most utilitarian form, serving as base material to build countertops or other solid surfaces. But consider and examine White Quartz crystals in their most authentic, raw formations when extracted from the earth: the variety of shapes and sizes from single to multi-point configurations and their gleaming iridescent luster, White Quartz displays an exquisite style and broad appeal to any interior space.

 

White Quartz’s universal look proves it works well in a busy maximalist setting or on its own in a minimalist aesthetic. Displaying this high-quality crystal in a foyer or entrance will deliver an unexpected but alluring presence, to be admired as nature’s grand work of art. Position smaller tabletop versions of the crystal on a dining room table or display it as a pièce de résistance centerpiece in any room to command attention. White Quartz’s intrinsic sculptural and natural qualities add a touch of glamour to every space it occupies.

Based in Venice, California, Mystic Journey Crystals is recognized globally as the purveyor for extraordinary, investment-quality crystals and geodes for residential, commercial and hospitality spaces.

Founder Jeffery Segal established the company in 2008 with the opening of Mystic Journey Bookstore and the intent to spread his growing passion and appreciation of large, sculptural crystals and the metaphysical properties they possess to the community. 

Often called upon by designers, architects and discerning homeowners, Mystic Journey Crystals’ founder Jeffrey Segal is fulfilling his lifelong passion while making a splash in the design community.

 

Segal, after spending 20 years as an attorney, decided to pursue his passion only after overcoming cancer using natural and alternative treatment methods. With a new outlook on life, Segal decided to make a career change in 2008 when he founded the Mystic Journey Bookstore located in Venice, California.

 

“I transitioned my life and career,” he says. “Ultimately, it came down to ‘What am I passionate about?’ The answer to that question was ‘my spirituality.’ After years of studying the healing power of crystals, Segal recently launched Mystic Journey Crystals gallery, also located in Venice. 

 

From discovering his passion for crystals and exploring his favorite projects to learning design tips for homeowners, Segal sharies it all.

When did you discover your passion for crystals?

 

Crystals have always played a part in my life. I have explored the world of crystals from my fascination as a young boy to my now regular trips not only to gem and mineral shows, but also to the sources in Brazil and Uruguay. I “know” each and every one of our crystals: where it comes from, who mines it, how it is prepared for sale and how it is transported.

 

 

What advice would you offer homeowners and designers when it comes to designing with crystals?

 

Crystals are sculptural statement pieces; they are really like fine art. Like an expensive painting or an antique figurine accent piece, crystals can serve as a center focal point of a room or more subtly as an interesting backdrop to complement the decor of a space. When it comes to design, regardless of whether the crystals are large, multi-point clusters or small, single point crystals — there isn’t a right or wrong way to incorporate crystals into home design. Homeowners and designers often come into our gallery and pick pieces that draw them in, whether it’s because of their visual beauty or they are drawn to the energy a piece emits.

 

 

What makes the amethyst a great addition to the home?

 

The enigmatic range of purples can bring energy and balance — while also adding a touch of glamour — to any room amethyst occupies. In the current design world where “less is more,” amethyst can coolly work as a focal point piece in a pared-down room. It is a favorite stand-out crystal, bringing a calming energy to a room as well as a vitreous luster. Amethyst helps to enhance higher states of consciousness and meditation. It has strong healing and cleansing powers and is often used for spiritual purification.

 

 

What have been some of your favorite projects?

 

It’s hard for me to compare them as I put my heart and energy into every project, so they are all uniquely special to me. Most recently, a couple came into our gallery looking for two large crystals to incorporate into their bay-area home. They chose a large white quartz cluster for their outdoor entryway and a beautiful rotating amethyst geode for their interior. Projects like this, where clients are looking for crystals to create a synergy between themselves and their living spaces, are always fun. I not only want my clients to think of how the crystal will work aesthetically, but also the crystal must “speak” to them on a deeper level.
