All quartz crystals have
6 primary properties. They are able to structure, store, amplify, focus, transmit and
transform energy, which includes matter, thought, emotion and information.
Metaphysical quartz formations possess
additional properties, based on their geometry and
other specific features.

Quartz is natural silicone, S102,
without which, you would now be gazing sadly at a blank screen!

"It provides a beautiful "dancing"
energy, which, when activated, stimulates energy flow on all
levels."
Harlequins contain red dots or strands
of hematite or lepidocrocite. They combine the properties of quartz
with hematite or lepidocrocite, which being red, stimulates physical
energy and circulation.
 |
"It can be used
to stimulate the base chakra and to provide for a direct pathway
between the base chakra and the heart chakra... It activates all he
qualities of the base chakra, the heart chakra, and the crown
chakra, and provides physical energy to the physical body .. it
further stimulates the healing qualities of the heart."
They are said to intensify devotional proclivities. |
Recognized by the presence of other
minerals within the quartz structure. In Celtic quartz these are chlorite, pyrite,
gold and undefined black inclusions - graphite and/or black
tourmaline. However, all quartz can contain a variety of minerals, many of
the most useful are described here.
"Each inclusion in quartz
provides the extra properties of that included mineral to work
"hand-in-hand" with the properties of the quartz"
The included minerals work in
harmony with the qualities of quartz, providing the additional properties of the
mineral. These properties are then amplified and structured by the quartz in such
a way that they can be more easily utilized for healing.
The ability of quartz
to be programmed, means greater direction can be given to the vibration of the
included mineral. This is done primarily through clear intention.
A brief summary of the properties
of the included minerals will give the clearest insight into the uses of these
crystals. Here are some recognised for their healing properties.
Amethyst
|
Manganese in clear quartz produces the beautiful shades of pinkish
lavender to deep purple. Amethyst often appears in
quartz as phantoms.
The name comes from a Greek word which translates literally as "not
drunken". Amethyst is said to help one to both avoid and recover
from addiction to intoxicants. |
 |
Amethyst helps one identify more with the higher spiritual self than the
temporary material body. It balances the intellectual, mental,
emotional and physical bodies which encourages insight, stability, peace
and strength respectively. An overwhelming positive stone, helping
to transform the dysfunction that modern living encourages.
|
Chlorite
One of
the most powerful healing minerals available. Chlorite provides a powerful
"Earth" energy, which cleanses the aura, chakras and meridians of
obstruction. It helps dissipate anger, hostility and frustration. |
 |
Undefined
Black Inclusions (carbon, graphite and/or black tourmaline)
Black inclusions enable the clear quartz to act as a
powerful cleanser and activator of the base chakra, increasing physical
vitality. Graphite, as an efficient electrical conductor, increases the
flow of energy in healing and can be used to align the chakras.
|
Black
Tourmaline
A very purifying and protective stone on all levels. An excellent aura
cleanser as it both repels and transforms negative energies. It is so
good at this that it is said to repel radiation and appears to help if
placed in front of computer monitors. As is common with black stones, it
is an extremely effective base chakra cleanser and grounding stone. |
 |
"As a protective stone against "spells" which are cast by the negative
side of another, it is a special stone to Native American Indians; black
tourmaline in quartz not only dispels the "spell", but energizes the
"victim" and actually increases well-being.... The African
shaman have used the tourmaline to promote the awakening from the "dream
of illusion" and to promote the experience of the self as part of the
universal spirit....It acts to stimulate the reflex points associated
with the lower back. It can be used in the treatment of arthritis,
dyslexia, heart dis-ease, anxiety, and disorientation. It can also
provide for both the stimulation and the balancing of the adrenal
glands."
Pyrite
Usually
formed in brass yellow cubes. It creates a protective energy within the aura
which is able to prevent/reduce the intrusion of all forms of negative
vibration. A uniquely protective stone.
"This
mineral [pyrite] possesses a defending quality and is an excellent preventative
which will shield one from many forms of negative energy. Simply having a piece
of pyrite on ones person brings in the protective, shielding aspect of this
stone which works on the physical, etheric, and emotional level, due to an
energy field it creates within the aura. It is a unique protector and an
excellent stone to keep in ones possession".
Gold
|
 |
Appearing
as flakes in Welsh quartz, this is the purest Gold on Earth and is mined
in only tiny quantities. Jewellery made from this rare ore is
considerably more expensive than any other, and is favoured by the
British Royal
family.
Gold has
been called the master healer ,
symbolizing purity of heart, the perfection of
alchemical transformation. Purifying at all levels, the beneficial effects of
gold are considerable. Welsh gold unified with quartz by Nature is
extremely powerful and exceedingly rare.
|
"If one is fortunate enough to
become an Earth-keeper for a quartz crystal containing gold, the uses are
extensive. The properties of gold and the properties of quartz crystal are
combined and produce "dynamite" results."

Isis crystals are
recognised by possessing a relatively symmetrical five sided face. Not as common
as you might imagine.
 |
These crystals enhance
the feminine principle, helping restore the balance lost through a misuse of
masculine energy, assertion, ego and power.
Teacher crystals, helping to
promote an understanding of what we need in the human
condition. The five sided face indicates these crystals are
especially suited to working with people, as the number 5 has always
indicated the human condition.
Geometrically, 5 is the number of regeneration, making the Isis crystal
powerfully regenerative.

Key crystals are
recognized by an indentation on the side or face of a crystal, usually six
sided. They are used to gain access to information from which you are normally
excluded. Healing concepts and illusive aspects of ourselves can be unlocked.
"Used to unlock the "doors" to healing concepts and those aspects of the self
which tend to be illusive. It also assists one in accessing that which is hidden
in any situation. One can place the crystal on letters, photographs, etc., in
order to gain admittance to concealed or obscure messages which are inherent."
Very useful for
healers and intuitive diagnostics.

These are of two types of the prized, beautiful and mysterious
Manifestation formation. One is where a crystal that previously bridged into
a larger one, has become enclosed. The other where a DT
literally grew within a larger crystal. The latter are seriously
rare and the choice of the purist. Both are extremely beautiful with
unique energies.
From a geometric point of view, they represent a
"world within a world". They are used by mystics to help manifest
desires on the physical plane.
"The Manifestation crystal is recognized by a small
crystal totally enclosed within a larger crystal, and they are very
rare. The use of the manifestation crystal requires the inner knowledge
that one is a clear and perfect channel, that a pure white light
provides the guiding way, and that the purity of the Divine is within
the inner self. They can also be used to facilitate artistic creativity,
creative thinking, agricultural pursuits, and to increase or decrease
any aspect of ones life."
The "phantom" is caused by
a pause in the crystals growth, leaving a partial or complete "phantom" within
the crystal after it continued to grow. This pause in growth can last for thousands of years. The phantom usually appears as a fine white
veil, but sometimes as a coloured mineral.
The butterfly
principle. Growth, apparent inactivity and rebirth.
Out of limitation appears something of
beauty. These amazing stones help us to see before, after, and the struggles
in-between, as part of an evolutionary process. They help to instil a sense
of "magic" many of us lost along the way.
A valuable stone for the spiritual
seeker, clearly showing how the inner is the foundation of the outer,
subtle the foundation of the gross, spiritual the foundation of the
material.
"The phantom symbolizes universal awareness. It is one of the Earth
Stones to be used for redemption and cleansing of the Earth. Both
polished and unpolished are excellent energy sources for initiation of
the healing.
The phantom is an excellent tool for meditation and for assisting one in
connecting with the higher realms of knowledge. It can also be used to
access the records of ones progression through past-lives."

Amethyst
Phantom
"These
crystals stimulate the recall of ones state just prior to birth; This
information can be accessed for each of the beginnings of the life
cycle. One can hence, gain information of the multitude of
experience/lessons." |
 |
|
Black Phantom
"Black
Phantom Quartz Crystals are very unusual. They provide the energy of
the quartz, coupled with the property of grounding; this grounding is
via the perfect alignment of the physical energy centres, which occurs
with the use of this mineral. Hence, with a black phantom crystal, one
does not require an additional stone for grounding." |
 |
|
Green (Chlorite) Phantom
These are
gorgeous phantoms, sometimes resembling vast green landscapes in
miniature!
“These crystals [green phantoms] have been used to provide access
to, and transfer of, information from the purity of the angelic
realms. It assists in clairaudient endeavours, affording lucid,
distinct, and articulate verbalization of the messages received...They combine the energy of quartz crystals with one of the most
healing minerals...Chlorite
is one of the most favourable healing stones. Worn, carried, placed
within ones environment or used as an elixir, the properties of
chlorite are overwhelmingly positive." |
 |

Red Phantom
"Red
phantom quartz crystals additionally contain the properties of
limonite, kaolinite and hematite. These crystals are rare. The
red phantom is also used to stimulate the first 3 chakras, to combine
the energies to produce highly recognizable vitality directed toward
creativity, intellectual advancement and intuitive endeavours." "Red

Silver Phantom
Very
occasionally, the phantom (or part of it) becomes covered in tiny
sparkling crystals. However, these are so small; the only the
glistening silver pyramid or triangle (as in a partial phantom), surface can be seen.
These
crystals combine the properties of phantom, barnacle and rare
manifestation crystal. They are excellent tools for those working with
creative visualisation and manifestation. |
|
White Phantom
These phantoms often appear as gorgeous, translucent veils - a
kind of holographic pyramid. As well as the general properties
of the phantom, these posses an ability to instil a sense of
wonder in the world around us. Helping us see old situations
with new eyes. A wonderful crystal for the mystic and "seer". |

Imagine many of the above formations combined in a single crystal.
We have most formations in some combination and some crystals are
literally laden with recognized formations. This is a particularly
true of Celtic Quartz. These extraordinary metaphysical tools have
been used extensively by healers, shaman, psychics and others who
are aware of the more subtle properties of metaphysical quartz
crystals. |
