Completely unassuming, it lay overlooked on one of our crystal trips. But the arrangement of the crystals caught my eye, so I picked it up and pumped my dealer for as much information as I could get out of him. Alas, it wasn't much. He confirmed my suspicions that this is an incredibly complex cluster of Japanese Law Twin crystals. To be a true Japanese Law Twin it is defined as contact twins of two individuals, with the c-axes inclined (to each other) at the angle of 84 degrees 33 minutes. The common composition plane in all instances is (11-22) which reads as one one negative two two. In one of the 4 twin types this plane is a twin plane and in the other 3 it is a pseudotwin plane in that it only describes the angular relation between the axial system of the twinned parts. (Did I bore you yet???) There are places that try to term their twin crystals as Japan Law twins, however they do not meet the physical requirements. This formation is an exceedingly rare formation, and is only usually found in crystals coming from Japan. Recently, some nice examples have been found in Arkansas, but I was surprised to learn this formation is from Sichuan China.
Brown inclusions trace throughout the entire cluster and its matrix. The quartz has a frosty luster, and doesn't present the prettiest face to the world. Its energy seems rather sleepy, but the complex energy will awaken when its guardian is ready.
Japanese Law Twins help us to accept duality. It reminds us that love will set you free from that which holds you down. It can help free us from the bonds of the modern lifestyle. It shows us the holographic overlay which is masquerading as reality.
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.
