This is one of those spirits that is best appreciated in person. It is not immediately showy and there are not bright colors or flashy rainbows to catch your attention. There isn't even a defined termination. But these are just aesthetics, for what truly matters is the energy and its willingness to share its energy. It is a true worker. Tiny sprays of blue tourmaline needles give a section of this formation a soft blue glow. A close look will reveal tiny needles scattered throughout the quartz. The surface is pockmarked with some tourmaline, albite, and mica inclusions.
The energy is warm and comforting. Picking it up, it says "just breathe". Its just a simple seeming message, but when you are stressed and tense, your breath shortens, often leaving you more tired and lethargic than you normal. So its first message is to place it on your chest and breath. Expand your diaphragm down into your belly and fully feel your lungs expand to their fullest, and exhale out your worries. Keep breathing to feel your body relax and your mind begin to quieten. These first few steps will have you on your way to meditation. This spirit is perfect for those who have problems letting go to meditate. And from there, the sky is the limit. But baby steps, this one will let you know when you are ready for the next step!
Blue tourmaline is also known as indicolite and is a rare color in the tourmaline world. Blue tourmaline in quartz is a very rare combination, and has been stated to be rarer than ajoite! Blue tourmaline has a soothing energy and works both the throat and third eye chakras. They are emotionally healing, helping you to detach from the situation so that healing may occur. It is especially healing for those suffering post traumatic stress. It has a tranquil energy that also revitalizes you when you need it most. Blue tourmaline is also known for its ability to open the third eye and enhance your higher awareness. It assists one to accept and trust their intuition. It also assists with communications working with one to verbalize both thoughts and emotions with greater ease. The presence of quartz amplifies the energy of the blue tourmaline.
Clear quartz is made up of silicon dioxide, the most abundant mineral on the planet. No wonder it 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 as it works with all chakras. 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 interior. Quartz crystals are graded on their clarity, luster, and overall condition of the stone, with the higher degrees of clarity being more valuable. It is interesting to note that although chemically the same, quartz from different regions vibrates with subtle differences.
Quartz attracts and enables you to use more life force energy. Have it around you, on you, or in elixir form, in you! Quartz seeks to bring balance on all our bodies’ levels. Quartz has the ability to receive, store and send energy, this makes it a powerful manifestation tool.
Hold/gaze into the crystal, put your thought/need (what you wish to manifest) into the crystal, the crystal receives the thought (and the feeling behind the thought) then stores and transmits those thoughts and feelings into the ethers. Thus, even while you’re not thinking about that particular manifestation, the crystal is still putting it out. Thus drawing your manifestation towards you at a much greater rate than before. Power tools, you have to love ‘em!
Many refer to this process as programming; many books state that a crystal can hold only one program. They have just found a way to store terabytes of data into a single bubble that makes up the mist you see in the Quartz. My feeling is that Quartz crystals can in fact hold and run more programs than we could give in a life time! Quartz is one of the most flexible crystal tools around. It is very responsive to our intent, what you intend is what you get, to this point it is also one of the most powerful tools and should be treated as such.
