This deep smoky quartz crystal is so dark from some angles that it can be considered morion quartz. I love the rich energy that wraps around you. The core glows with a beautiful golden hue when held in the light. It reminds you that even when all seems dark, the light and still penetrate. It has an easily seen moving bubble within a chamber a nice sized chamber. It help to move you out of stagnation, dispelling apathy and depression. It gives you the courage to try new things, to venture out as it bolsters you with its protective energy.
Enhydro means "water within". These are crystals that contain pockets of pure water, mysteriously trapped in ages gone by. Water has been found in chalcedony, agate and quartz and is usually perceived by the presence of moving gas bubbles in the water. Very occasionally, there are pockets of water with no bubble but a tiny floating inclusion. Even rarer are trapped bubbles of oil.
As water indicates the emotions, these crystals can have a profound effect on our emotional life. In Nature, water that cannot move becomes stagnated - as emotions that cannot be expressed stagnate. Enhydros contain water trapped in very limited space, but the water has remained clean and pure for millennia. The signature of these crystals indicates a purification of the emotions, even if those emotions stagnated under conditions of severe deprivation.
Our emotional health is paramount. Both the Earth and our bodies are 70% water. Analyze the impetus for action and you will see it is emotional, i.e. motivated by the emotions. Any crystal which displays the properties of Nature are clearly connected to emotional health is extremely important at this time. Their uses are extensive. They are beautiful, mysterious and powerful crystals, which you will rarely come across.
