Clear quartz is also known as white quartz or milky quartz when it has an abundance of interior veils and planes. Often crystals will have a mixture of different clarities throughout the crystal. Quartz crystals are judged on their clarity, luster, and overall condition of the stone, with the higher degrees of clarity being more valuable. Clear quartz is the most common tool in the mineral kingdom, as well as the most versatile. I like to call it the general practitioner of the crystal world. Clear quartz works with all chakras. Brazilian quartz has an amazing energy perfect for healing work and has soft heart energies. Their energy tends to be vibrant and refreshing at the same time.

I love the form of this delightful spirit from Brazil. He's somewhat squat, fitting nicely into your hand. His main face is a large eight sided grounding face, and is an unusual find. Grounding faces makes quartz's energy more accessible, no matter how high vibrational the energy is. Beautiful etchings cascade down his sides, with plenty of self-healing at his base where he was once attached to matrix. Several record keepers can be found ranging from small to large making him a bridge to higher knowledge. He's perfect meditation or dream work companion.

The crystal measures 3" x 1.5" x 1.2" and weighs 4.8 oz.

A crystal with an eight sided face is called a Grounding crystal. They are quite rare. It is believed that this crystal will help you deal with practical matters in a realistic way. They will help you think and express yourself clearly when dealing with issues of every day life.

A crystal that has pyramidal or triangular shaped symbols that are either engraved into or are raised on one or more of a crystal faces is called a Record Keeper (RK) or Recorder. These symbols are not easily seen and usually need to be searched out by looking at the crystal in a bright light while closely examining the faces. It is believed that the Record Keeper is one of the most sacred crystals because it holds the wisdom and knowledge of the universe. When a person is properly attuned to a Record Keeper, this knowledge is readily made available. This knowledge is ancient knowledge and contains profound secrets and esoteric knowledge of the whole of the Higher Consciousness. It takes an open mind and a pure heart to access this knowledge.

The etched quartz crystal can be recognized by the existence of abrasions upon the outer areas of the crystal. The abrasions appear to be a type of hieroglyphics. This formation has been used to facilitate contact and the transfer of information from the Ancient Egyptian civilizations and from Lemuria and Atlantis. The transliteration of the symbols brings information relevant to ones life at the time of translation. They were once used the healing temples of the ancient civilizations and the markings also contain information of experiences in which they have participated. They also have contained information with respect to the healing methodology which has been proven successful over eons of time and throughout the universe. They have been accessed during the meditative state and have provided information concerning techniques utilized in the ancient civilizations of the Earth and of other locations in the universe.

Etched quartz is usually a personal meditation crystal. Meditation with the crystal is easily accomplished by placing the hieroglyphs upon the third-eye. Subsequent to placement, close the eyes, still and open the mind, initiate circular breathing, relax, and be prepared to receive the information.
