While most of this point has been polished to show off the beauty of the interior, a natural area has been left at the back showing the array of marks left by a past companion. Goethite is a different crystalline formation of lepidocrocite, they have the same chemical make-up but different formation. While lepidocrocite has a fiery red color, goethite is black to brown-black in color. These inclusions drape across her interior in a dotted phantom layer overlaying other white phantoms. Her interior is mist filled hiding her secrets well. Goethite's energy is slightly more sedate than lepidocrocite, but still has a fiery energy. Her energy is old and wise, and very mothering. She reminds you to take care of your basic needs, such as eating properly, and getting enough sleep. While it may sound silly, when crunched for time, these basic necessities are the first to suffer. Her warm comfort uplifts the spirit and keeps you motivated towards your goals. She teaches you to pace yourself, helping you to avoid burnout. She is a wonderful friend and companion and is from Madagascar.
Lepidocrocite included quartz goes by two names: harlequin or fire quartz. Lepidocrocite inclusions are fiery red specks that you can sometimes also find with hematite or goethite inclusions. Lepidocrocite included quartz is an uncommon occurrence that results in fabulously gorgeous, mostly small crystals; large fire crystals are rare indeed.
Fire quartz has a very bright, sparkling energy to it, and infuses us with vitality. Work with it to open your root or base chakra, and to encourage flow of Kundalini energy. Visualize that serpent of energy rising up through your physical chakras, into your heart. Infuse the serpent with love, and coax it into your crown. Practice this exercise in meditation with fire quartz, and feel the life infuse you!
It provides a beautiful "dancing" energy, which when activated, stimulates the energy flow on all levels. 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 can hence be used to direct and to intensify natural proclivities. It activates all of the qualities of the base chakra, the heart chakra, and the crown chakra, and provides physical energy and vitality to the physical body.
It further stimulates the healing qualities of the heart and the associated attributes of loving consciousness. It can also be used to balance the polarity of your body with the higher bodies and to open and balance the meridians of the physical body, stimulating alignment of the physical and ethereal nervous systems.
It has been used to traverse the gap between the physical world and the spiritual world, and can help one to understand transitions. It can be used in the treatment of disorders related to the blood, veins, mental acuity, memory, intravascular coagulation of the blood in the circulatory system, imbalances in the thyroid, and atrophy of the thymus. It has also been used in the treatment of depression, despondency, and to activate the will to progress.
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.
