CLEAR QUARTZ CRYSTALS

CLEAR QUARTZ CRYSTALS

 

This is just a brief introduction to clear quartz crystals . The crystal

most used in crystal

healing is quartz . Sometimes called frozen light, quartz crystals form

of silicon dioxide

under heat and pressure. .Quartz has both piezoelectric and pyroelectric

properties which

means that the polarity of quartz crystal will change when subject to

pressure or heat as

well as when held.

Piezoelectricity is that quality by which electricity and sometimes

light is produced by

compression . Many cultures and spiritual traditions have used crystals

in ritual, often

striking them to produce flashes of visible light. Pyroelectricity is

that quality of an electrified

state or polarity which is produced by variation in temperature.

To scientists, engineers and communication specialists quartz crystal is

a key

component in radio, radar, sonar, television, watches, and computers.

 

Quartz can transmit and receive, amplify, focus, project and store

energies .

They are the most versatile of stones . They are used in healing, in

meditation, in

manifestation , for protection and communication on all levels . They

can work on every

level for spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental healing .

Clear quartz crystal or rock crystal is found all over the world and is

among the most

common minerals on Earth. The natural crystal formation is six sided or

faced .Quartz can

be used for any crystal purpose and can substitute for other crystals.

Single and double

terminated and tumbled quartz are probably the most used forms for

crystal work.

Clusters are also used a lot . Clusters are two or more crystals joined

together in some way

as bunches of crystals

There are many different variations in the growth and faces of quartz

crystals and many

specific variants are used in specialized ways.

 

Single terminated crystals have one six sided point on one end

and primarily direct energy in one direction .In most healing techniques

the point of the

crystal is pointed toward where you want to send energy. To increase

energy in an area you

point the tip of the crystal in to the center of your treatment area .To

remove energy or for

cleansing you may point the crystal away from the center. There are

other traditions where

the point is used for either projection or reception of energies.

Single point crystals are used to charge chakras, disperse negative

energy and for

programming of many kinds. Virtually all crystal work can be done with

single termination

crystals and most people who work a lot with crystals will want to have

a number of these

in various sizes . Single point crystals are often worn as jewelry or

carried as personal

stones .

 

Double terminated crystals have a point on each end. The natural

crystals may have grown

in soft clay or as part of a cluster. The naturally formed doubly

terminated crystals are

usually considered to be more effective than crystals which have been

carved into a double

terminated form. The human carved double terminated crystals are often

used as healing

wands . They are multi-functional energy moves outward in either

direction or in both

directions simultaneously.

Double termination crystals are used to open a line or channel of energy

between two

chakras or points and to exchange energy or enhance communication

between two people

or organizations. They are often used in dream work, astral travel,

journeying and to

enhance meditation and visualization. They are also used for protection

and help to maintain

energy shields and filters. They are also sometimes used as tools for

moving , removing and

transforming energies from one location or condition to another

 

Clusters are groups of crystals the terminations may go in many

directions .

often they emerge from a joint matrix or base

The crystals reflect light and energy back and forth to each other .

They have a strong cleansing and healing vibration. They can be used to

clear energy in

rooms and to assist family and group activities. They are often used as

a focus or symbol

for group healing and meditations. They can help harmonize the

individuals in a group

They can be used to program for organization of multifaceted activities

such as studies ,

writing or business plans.

Other stones and crystals can be cleared by resting on a cluster and

clusters have been used

to activate and enhance the energy of other crystals.

 

Male / Female

Much crystal is milky white at the base and gradually gets clearer

toward the tip

Some crystal is as clear as water or cut glass . Other crystals are

milky white and opaque.

The clear crystals are often classified as Yang or Male crystals and

said to represent action,

power, force , strength and creativity . Milky white crystals are often

classed as Yin Or

Female crystal and said to represent receptivity, love, communication,

negotiation and .

A crystal with both clear and milky is believed to represent a balance

of the active and

receptive energies. Most crystal seems to have a combination of clear

and milky crystal.

The Male / Female quality of the crystal is not really of particular

importance for most

forms of crystal work. Some people feel that the clearest crystals help

with mental clarity

and rational thought and that the milky crystals promote intuition and

sensitivity but I have

not found that the difference if any is significant for most work .

 

Rainbow Crystals are those which have veils or fractures within them

which reveal rainbows

These are very uplifting crystals which promote joy and inner peace and

are often used as

meditation crystals

 

Veils and inclusions are often present in crystals these are said to

represent the ability of life

to transform stress and trauma to light and beauty some of these

crystals can be profoundly

healing of emotional and mental pain and sorrow.

 

Tumbled quartz which is polished to smooth out the configuration or

water tumbled quartz

which is naturally smoothed also has many uses often it is placed as the

center stone in

sections of crystal layouts or used as a meditation or seer stone .The

energy is projected

from the entire surface of the stone so the energy might be sensed as

more diffused or

gentle

 

Many methods of using quartz and information about colored quartz

crystals, other

members of the quartz family and uses for special formations of quartz

will be discussed in

several different sections of this workshop.
