Lithium Quartz is the trade name for Quartz with inclusions of the element Lithium, a silvery-alkali metal or Lithium-rich minerals. Lithium is one of the first few elements formed during the Big Bang. While only a small amount of Lithium was created during the Big Bang, Lithium is produced from the nuclear reactions that power nova explosions. The word lithium is derived from the Greek word "lithos" meaning "stone". Lithium Quartz is found in Brazil, Colombia, Madagascar and the United States.

Lithium has a wide variety of uses from batteries, in heat-resistant glass or ceramics, and in certain medications that psychiatrists prescribe. Lithium metal is used in alloys with aluminium and magnesium, to improve their strength and reduce mass. Aluminium-lithium alloys are used in aircraft, bicycle frames and high-speed trains.

Quartz, also known as “Rock Crystal”, is pure silicon dioxide. Quartz is named from the Greek word “krystallos”, meaning “ice”. Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen, with a chemical composition of SiO₂. All other varieties of Quartz, such as purple Amethyst, yellow Citrine, green Praisolite, or pink Rose Quartz are colored due to tiny inclusions in the silica. Quartz is the most abundant mineral on Earth and found all over it! Most of the sand in the world's beaches is actually the mineral Quartz. Quartz is resistant to weathering so as some rocks weather away, Quartz will remain. It forms at all temperatures and is abundant in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
