This is a natural Self-Healed Mongolian Quartz Tabular crystal, with a smaller Bridge crystal near the base. Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. This is a natural piece, not polished or altered. It has an overall frosted look ass it is covered with tiny sparkly Druzy quartz crystals. Interesting striations and etchings all over. Light iron staining is present here and there (reddish brown), plus present under the layer of Druzy in the very tip (giving it a dark point). Very energetic! I have loved Mongolian Quartz for years!
There are organic textures and formations present throughout that you can feel as you run your fingers over the stone. ALL formations are 100% natural parts of the crystal.
It weighs about 2.4oz and measures approximately 3 5/8" inches long X 1 3/8" inches wide at the widest point ( including Bridge crystal - varies a bit throughout) Code-062524-16
Tabular Quartz aka Tablet, Tabby or "Flat" Quartz. Tabular quartz grew in a way that makes it flatter than a normal crystal. Some are very noticeably flattened and could have Jacaré like elestial formations; most look almost 'normal' at first glance.
Tabular quartz holds energy, rather than transmits it. It doesn't "let go" of the energy it absorbs easily.
They are excellent for protection from psychic attack and stray energies. "Tabbys" hold the energy they come into contact with, rather than transmit it, especially lower vibrations.
It must be cleared regularly, and fairly often, by putting into a light salt water solution for 10-15 seconds, followed by rinsing it under running water.
A Bridge Crystal facilitates the connection between the inner and outer worlds, the self and others, and the self and other worlds. It is beneficial when you are attempting to share this knowledge with others. The bridge crystal is also useful for all types of teaching and helps with understanding and connections between the teacher and student.
Self-healed Crystals are those which have "sealed" over their broken end(s) , which also smooths the broken edges (happened millennia ago when the crystal broke in it's formation). Because these crystals have healed themselves, we view them as particularly powerful healing stones.
Quartz is often said to be the crystal or "stone" that everyone needs to start with. Quartz is the most recognized type of crystal and is what many people think of when they hear the word crystal, although there are many, many different types of crystals in all kinds of stones.
Quartz can be as clear as ice (ancients called quartz ‘Holy Ice’ and thought that it came from the heavens) or milky white.
It can have inclusions, veils, bubbles, unusual formations, etc. Clarity is not important for the energetic quality of a quartz crystal, and in fact, inclusions and impurities can make the crystal much more energetic, and increase its ability to store and amplify subtle energies. Without a few 'imperfections, the energy is often not as intense. Lab crystals are grown with impurities on purpose, and depending on the type and placement, those impurities will change the frequency that the crystal oscillates/vibrates at.
Quartz in any form is a powerful stone. Quartz can store energy, amplify it, focus it, transmit it, transform it, balance it, absorb it… Various types and formations are better for some things than others.
Quartz has long been used to direct and amplify thoughts and intentions. All thoughts are a form of energy and strong intentions will shape and affect subtle energies. Because of this, quartz can be useful for healing work, meditation, protection, and manifesting and channeling.
Quartz is thought to store information of all types and make it available again for retrieval. The idea behind this is that information is simply another form: an energy pattern. Quartz may be held directly on the third eye to increase clairvoyance abilities: help with the clarity of a vision.
Indigenous Healers. Medicine people and other crystal healers use quartz to perceive and communicate with Higher Beings, other realms, in dream work, for scrying or crystal gazing, perceiving Devas (Nature Spirits) and other kinds of spirits.
In the right hands, Quartz may be used to dispel and clear negative energies. For example, Tabular or 'flat' quartz is used to protect against harmful vibrations and even a directed psychic attack. It absorbs the dark energy and must be cleared regularly.
In Crystal Healing, Quartz is said to be effective for chronic fatigue, arthritis, depression, bone ailments and gastrointestinal troubles. It is also used to improve mental and physical stamina.
Clear quartz is associated with the crown Chakra, but in the hands of someone skilled and focused, may also be used to energize all of the Chakras.
Native legends speak of crystal skulls as an inheritance from ancient times. Said to “talk and sing” they are believed to carry messages for all mankind, including what may be discovered when we overcome our fear of death.
