Some of the highest energy quartz that we have worked with comes from the massive range of Himalayan Mountains in Central Asia. This region is scattered with the sacred sites of several religions, and is known as the Heart of the Earth in esoteric traditions. The mountain range is blessed with an intense energy which streams forth from the Earth. We have been privileged to work with quartz crystals from several locales in the Himalayas, and we are delighted to present these amazing quartz clusters from high on the Kangchenjunga Himal.

Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain peak in the world (28,169ft), and is considered sacred by several local traditions. Translated from Nepali, Kangchenjunga means “The Five Treasures of the Snows” as the mountain has five peaks. Because it is revered as sacred, permission to climb the mountain is rare from the Indian side of the mountain. The extremely difficult access from Nepalese side means Kangchenjunga is very rarely explored. The difficult access makes mineral specimens from the mountain very rare as they must be collected by hand and brought back down the mountain in an arduous trek.

These clusters rest on matrices that are included with mica. The quartz crystals have a high, clear energy that has a pristine quality to it. It makes me think they’ve absorbed the icy winds that wrap Kangchenjunga. They have absorbed the vibrations of the sacred mountain, and they resonate with an unrestrained and pure energy that is ideally suited to meditation. Place a cluster in a healing room, on an altar, or in any environment that would benefit from the cluster’s highly spiritual energy.

Growth interference quartz occurs when another mineral grows with a quartz crystal and then dissolves leaving behind a disrupted growth pattern in the quartz. Often the mineral is calcite. They appear to have deep cuts around the shaft made by a thin saw and in some cases appear to have had thin sheets of quartz cut and reattached off center. They often have the appearance of spiral growth patterns. Their high vibrational energy aligns the physical body and activates greater flow of energy through the chakras. They bolster the spirit to continue on both your spiritual journey and strive to reach your goals, no matter how many stops and starts you make. It assists one to remove of doubts and fears that inhibit forward progress.

The cluster measures 2.6" x 3" x 1.5" and weighs 7oz.

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.
