This is beautiful XL Brazilian Quartz crystal cluster specimen composed of Tabular crystals. Shown next to standard 12oz/355ml soda can for size comparison. This particular piece has been part of Sherry's personal collection since 1991, and charging with Synergy since the beginning in early 2001. It's ready to go out into the world and work with someone new now.
"Tabular" means that it formed in flat, or tablet-like, crystals. This is a cluster as it has multiple crystal points throughout both ends. It is fantastically energetic! Traces of reddish orange Hematite are present throughout, and there are SO many sparkly facets and individual crystals. There is also an area of Self-Healed Quartz running along one edge.
ALL inclusions present are 100% natural formations in the stone. I pick all of my stones by energy FIRST. Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 1lb 1.6oz and measures approx. 6 1/2" inches long X 4" inches wide at the widest point X about 2" inches thick at the thickest point (varies a bit throughout). Code-112724-1
Self-healed Crystals are crystals that have been damaged in some way, due to geological changes
that happened millennia ago, while the crystal was still growing. When the crystal broke, it slowly began to heal, smoothing the breaks and sealing the "injury."
Because they have healed themselves, they are viewed as particularly powerful healing stones.
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.
Hematite in Quartz - Hematite is a must for anyone interested in working with crystals and stones. It is said to assist in grounding and calming and in manifesting Divine Light in your life.
It is a calming energy and is said to attract "kind" love and act as a stabilizing force.
Some forms deflect and dissolve negative energies, especially the crystals with gray, silver and black inclusions.
Hematite is said to help one to 'sort things out' and can be used for memory enhancement, original thinking and technical knowledge.
Hematite, especially in its natural crystalline form, is traditionally thought to bring peace, self-control and support an inner happiness.
In Crystal Healing, it is used to calm the nerves, for insomnia, to align the spine and speed the mending of broken bones. Some Indigenous healers have used it with blood disorders.
Hematite is associated with the Root Chakra.
Hematite that is found in quartz can be several colors, including grays, silvers, blacks, browns, reds, oranges or golds. It is a high iron content mineral.
Quartz with hematite is also called ferruginous quartz or Eisenkiesel (German for "iron pebble" pronounced "i-zen keezle")
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.
