Astrologically, Sphatik (quartz crystal) is related to planet Venus and is used as a substitute for diamond. As planet Venus stands for wife, youth, beauty, vehicles, love affairs, sexual pleasures, wealth, flowers, scents and perfumes, dance, music, fine arts, etc. it is believed to provide the same to its possessor. Venus is also the representative planet of business, trade and advisory power, so, use of Sphatic bestows success in all these matters.
It is believed to have intimate link with the worship of Lord Shiva – the giver of both worldly success and salvation, and is also known as Shivaratna. It strengthens the aura of the concerned person and removes the negativity around him/her. One name of Lord Shiva is BhootNath, hence Sphatik has the power to counteract all the black magics. Lord Shiva is also known as VaidyaNath, hence in presence of Sphatik all other astrological remedies become more effective.
The relation of Sphatic with both Lord Shiva and the planet Venus, imparts its Malas (rosaries) and idols immense value both for worldly and spiritual advancement.
