Metaphysical Information about some of the most common
Quartz Crystals
*By Shape, Special Formations and Types
Clear quartz
crystal
has been called the universal stone. Quartz contains the four elements of
creation. It helps us amplify, direct, focus, transmit and store energy.
Everyone interested in stones should have some! It corresponds to all of the
zodiac signs, and is a pure and powerful energy source.
It receives, activates, stores, transmits, and amplifies energy. It stimulates
brain functions and activates all levels of consciousness. It is excellent for
meditation and is said to bring harmony to the soul.
Its greatest attribute is known to be its use as an aid to opening the psychic
centers, enabling the ability to meditate at a deeper level and to free one's
mind from the mundane and the trivia. It releases the higher consciousness and
develops mystical and spiritual gifts.
It is particularly useful for meditation and when working to contact or align
with one's higher self. It is said to protect against harmful electrical
vibrations and assist the wearer to think intuitively.
Quartz and its various sub-varieties has been employed by humans and their
predecessors, the Neanderthals, for tens of thousands of years. Used to fashion
tools, (sub-variety flint) it was also used as talismans, wands and amulets to
aid in protection and healing.
Crystals emit vibrations that affect the wearer’s
body. Certain specific varieties are believed to have positive effects when
utilized on particular energy centers of the body, much like deep therapeutic
massage and acupuncture. These energy centers are known as Chakras.
Quartz
has a
long and lengthy history with regards to spiritual uses. Spiritually inclined
societies used it for balancing chakras, transforming energy and a host of other
metaphysical uses. Quartz crystals are used to this day in meditation, as they
are believed to possess healing properties and other metaphysical capabilities.
It has been used throughout the centuries to divine the future and commune with
spirits--this belief spans many cultures including Western, Chinese, Medieval
European and Celtic. The stone's ability to align one's psychic self with the
cosmos is often ascribed to the stone's piezoelectric properties - which means
that it becomes electrically charged under pressure. Quartz is also pyroelectric
- heating quartz also charges the stone electrically.
Many believe
that in the same way quartz is used in computer chips to transmit information,
it can also be used to commune with the spirit world, higher spirits and angel
guides. It is often said to "amplify" psychic power.
The Record
Keeper or Recorder Crystal
is identified by one or more raised triangular shapes on a crystal’s face. They
are thought to have been programmed by ancient Atlanteans and Lemurians to safeguard their
sacred and profound secrets. They are filled with wisdom & esoteric knowledge.
You can place them over the Third Eye to meditate or hold firmly, but not tightly
and ask to access your personal wisdom. You need have no experience with
crystals to use them - just a
sincere desire and an open heart. They promote peace and harmony.

spiritual energy to all ceremonies and rituals. They are thought to have been
used by Atlantians & Lemurians for healing ceremonies. They represent fertility.

the user to higher realms. They can help with Lucid dreaming and bring
understanding of dreams. Some believe that these crystals exhibit the
closest manifestation of pure white light that can be experienced on the
physical plane. Rainbow crystals are used during meditation to and bring depth
and clarity to dreams and move through negativity.
Faden quartz grew in two directions
simultaneously, so is typically made up of many double terminated crystals.
Where the growth started you can see a string of bubbles that show up as a white
"line." This white line is the hallmark of a faden crystal (pronounced "fah-den").
It seems to always take a
tabular formation (flattened), and is usually
Double or Multiple
Terminated.

ferns or other organic growths inside. It combines the many useful qualities of
Clear Quartz with Manganese, which is the actual mineral content of the "plant
life" within this stone. It facilitates a harmonious relationship with Mother
Earth, and a deeper connection with nature, including the nature spirits. It is
also used for facilitating Past Life recall and used to open and activate the
third eye.

solution to the situation is – thus a very valuable resource indeed for all
Crystal Healers. This type of crystal is also thought to bring strength,
stability, spiritual growth and calm reason.

Grounding combination and is thought to transform and transmute fear, stress and

Black Tourmaline is also used to repel negativity and psychic attack. It is
often used to combat negative effects from EMF radiation from TVs, monitors,
etc.
Elestial
Quartz: Elestials
are a rare form of quartz. They are not for everyone, since they do work with a
much higher vibration than regular quartz. Elestials are quite unusual to look
at and different in their formations and structure than other crystals. Often
called the "Enchanted Crystal," or the "Crystal of the Angels" which explains
the strong link with the Archangelic energies. They are also referred to as “New
Millennium Crystals.” They work on a higher octave of energy than regular
quartz.
Elestials assist
one in overcoming emotional burdens and are especially good for people who are
working on integrating the intellect and the heart and working through emotional
trauma from early childhood or past lives. They assist by transmitting
information about the past, present and future, via the person's "high-self."
An Elestial can
be used during times of change and transformation to help to stabilize and
transmute the energies. They are also used to uncover hidden secrets. An
excellent tool when learning to drop one’s attachments. It’s good to use with a
piece of fluorite, as that will help you to keep things on a practical level.
Elestial Quartz is also known
as Skeletal Quartz and Jacaré or Alligator Quartz. Jacaré, means Alligator in
Portuguese and refers to the patterns in the surface of many of these crystals.
The mineralogical term, Skeletal Quartz, refers to the fact that you can see
into the internal matrix of the crystal – the edges and planes of the crystal.
There are many unusual cavities and etchings on the crystal. Sometimes the
cavities are filled with ancient clay and/or water! There is often a wonderful
interplay of light within the crystal.
Spirit Quartz
is an incredible crystal! Spirit Quartz is a generator stone and can be used to
transmit subtle healing energies. These energies can also assist in a stronger
and more aware connection to one’s High-Self, as it is an energy of Oneness -
oneness with self as well as with others. It is used in meditation and
contemplation to assist in understanding and resolving group and family issues.
It promotes harmony and peace and can provide insights into issues and assist in
developing healthy connections with loved ones. It is a crystal of compassion
and is excellent in grief therapy work.
Generator crystals
are used to cleanse and balance chakras, and the subtle bodies. They act to help
disperse negative energies and replace it with more balanced energy. Natural
generators and crystals that have been polished in the configuration of
generators have similar properties and can be used in the same manner.
Tabular or ‘Tabby’ Crystal:
A ‘Tabby is a flat or
Tablet shaped crystal. It will usually have noticeable etching or major
striations on at least one side. Tabbys have been described as the best crystal
to assist in communication of all kinds and recovering lost information. Tabbys
are a great help in grounding various energies and are also very useful as
protection from psychic attack. They are useful for people who are interested in
developing psychic awareness.
Wands
are used to focus our energy and gain clarity. A wand may be more powerful than
an uncut crystal, especially when used by a healer to direct and focus healing
energy.
Vogel
Shaped Quartz This is a Quartz Crystal Wand cut in the style of a Vogel
wand. The Vogel cut crystal is named after Marcel Vogel who designed the very
precise cuts on quartz so that it acts as a very efficient, almost laser like
focusing tool. When used with intention and unconditional love, this shape can
really focus your energy for healing work or anything that you are working on
transforming. It is not an actual Vogel, rather it is cut in the Vogel pattern.
An original Vogel crystal is cut extremely precisely, and would cost hundreds or
even thousands of dollars. However, I think you will find that this crystal is a
great tool in it’s own right.
Star Quartz
is also known as the
"Blessings Crystal." Star Quartz is a very powerful crystal,
protective and gentle, used to disperse negative energy from your auric field
and in your immediate area. They are said to contain information from higher
beings that came from the stars. A very different type of energy! The 'stars'
are thought to be hollandite.

Phantom Quartz occurs when
several points start to grow over one another, in the same area - sometimes with
other minerals showing in the various layers. Phantom Crystals are associated
with the awareness of how all life is connected. It’s been used to assist in
clairvoyance. Polished and unpolished specimens are both excellent. Polishing
often brings out the beauty in the crystal and instills appreciation for the
hidden or the past. This is a crystal often used when seeking answers about Past
Life connections.
It’s said that a phantom crystal can also be used to help a person to meet their
spiritual guide or Angel. Some Healers have used them to help with hearing
disorders.

shape, carved quartz or other gemstone.

quartz geometric shapes supports ones inner explorations and awareness.
"Merkaba" is an ancient
Egyptian word to describe the energy or Aura
that surrounds all living Beings.
It translates as :
MER= Rotating fields of
light
KA= Spirit
BA= Soul.
A merkaba field exists around all
living things, protecting and nurturing them. Thoughts of love, acceptance,
forgiveness, truth, compassion, etc. strengthen your Merkaba, raising its
vibration. Fearful and negative thoughts weaken and
slow your Merkaba. Merkaba meditations are thought to facilitate spiritual
growth and strengthen your creative abilities.
They are also used when one wishes to create a positive change in life.

facilitate the connection between the inner and outer worlds. This includes
bridging the gap between self and others,
as well as between ones self and other spiritual Realms.
A Bridge crystal is also useful for teachers, as it is said to support
understanding and help build connections between the teacher and student.
It is also useful when
communicating with others about any kinds of metaphysical or spiritual concepts.
Lemurian Seed
Crystals -
Lemurian seed crystals are unique in many ways. They are found in sand banks,
and not in clusters or clay, as quartz is normally found growing. It is believed
that they were left there purposely, cushioned in the sand banks, holding and
preserving the knowledge of the advanced and ancient Lemurian civilization. Each
crystal is said to hold data and a message of unconditional love. Furthermore,
each one is connected to all of the others, through and beyond, space and time.
They are commonly used for channeling work, chakra balancing and clearing, lucid
dreaming, and working towards oneness in the world and in self. Their subtle
energy is incredibly strong, and looks are no indication of power. I've
seen crystals that are not at all lovely to look at - but are some of the most
powerful and active tools that I've ever seen. Just an amazing energy - more
than you can imagine.
Russian Lemurian Crystals
were found in rugged caves in
Russia, tumbled by numerous earthquakes and fractured by many geological
upheavals. Over the eons, these crystals continued to grow and many are
self-healed, with elestials and multiple terminations.
The Russian Lemurians have been called "Master Healing Crystals"
and also "The Sacred Scribes." These crystals contain information about healing
on all levels, as well as ancient information about the lost civilizations.
They, like all Lemurian crystals, are said to be connected via other planes to
one another, through and beyond time and space.
