CRYSTAL FORMATION DESCRIPTIONS

[Guest guest]

CRYSTAL FORMATION DESCRIPTIONS

Most of these are the basic Katrina Raphaell descriptions. We had looked

at some of these in 2001 All Crystals have power wisdom and special

purposes of their own whether or not they conform to a specific

specialty form.. Crystals without the particular shape may also

facilitate the particular work of each specialty formation stone.

Rather than seeking a particular shape of crystal be alert for those

which wish to work with you for a given purpose.

 

" BARNACLE "

Crystals covered or partially covered with smaller crystals. The

larger crystal is the " Old Soul " and contains the wisdom and trust

which attracts the smaller crystals. Used in meditation to provide

insights to family and/or community problems. Also excellent for

those employed in " service organizations " to help stimulate a group

cohesiveness and willingness to work together.

 

" BRIDGE "

A large crystal with a smaller crystal(s) which penetrates and is

located partially in, and partially out of the larger crystal. It

facilitates bridging between the inner and outer worlds, between

the self and others, and the self and other worlds. It is

beneficial when working with the aspects of spirituality, the

advanced metaphysical areas, and attempting to share this knowledge

with others.

 

" CHANNELING "

Recognized by a large seven sided face located in the center front

position of the terminated end of the crystal; a triangular face is

located on the opposite (back) side of the crystal. It provides

for a conscious connection to the higher wisdom which is available

from the higher self and/or to the wisdom of experience and

enlightenment which is available from the " other side " . Channeling

crystals can be used to bring forth light and love from the most

truthful and knowledgeable portions of the self.

 

" CHLORITE "

Chlorite is one of the most favorable healing stones. Worn, carried or

placed in ones environment, the properties of chlorite

are overwhelmingly positive. It brings the energy to enhance

cooperation and stimulates ones personal affinity with " All " . It

is a purifier and is quite useful for cleansing the aura, the chakras,

and the energy meridians.

 

" CLUSTERS "

Crystals which have grown together, free-standing or on a sandstone

base. To foster protection, cooperation, purification, harmony,

friendship and intimacy; to break up negative energy in the environment.

 

" CURVED "

Crystals which have a curved shape or which the sides are curved.

Produced during the developmental stages, this is a rare

occurrence. They emanate a gentle yet powerful energy and can be used

to cleanse the aura, promote flexibility in ones attitude, and

provide strength in decisions, among other things.

 

" DOUBLE TERMINATED "

Crystal that is naturally faceted on both ends (terminals). To promote

psychic ability and dream recall; to balance the body, mind and spirit.

 

" DRUSY (pronounced 'DREW-zee') "

Very small points which are described as " a myriad of very closely set

tiny crystals " .

The Drusy Clusters consist of tiny crystal points in their very

formation, and are encrusted on either sandstone or quartz based

matrixes. We like to think of drusy crystals for people who want to

encourage ideas or thought forms ready to spring forth and grow.

 

" EIGHT-FACED QUARTZ CRYSTALS "

Eight-faced crystals provide conservation of energy, of resources. They

stimulate the removal of obstacles in ones path and provide

for further installation of energy in all endeavors. They are said to

be of other-worldly origination and to bring the capacity for

actualization on all levels. In addition, they are said to bring order

to ones life, to impart an energy of manifestation and to

produce a melding of the spiritual and the angelic realms.

 

" ELESTIAL "

The Elestial Crystal is recognized by natural terminations over the

body and face of an etched and/or layered crystal. Used to assist

one in overcoming emotional burdens, to bring the heart and intellect

into synchronicity, and to help one look within and to

find the love that has always been there.

 

" EMPATHIC "

Empathic crystals are ones which are chipped or damaged in some way.

They promote understanding, compassion, kindness and

empathy. They open and heal the hearts of those who have closed them

while also protecting the open-hearted from too much pain.

 

EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL CRYSTAL

A crystal with a single termination at one end and multiple

terminations at the other end. It is believed this crystal will help

channel space beings, celestial beings and guardian angels.

 

" FADEN " (pronounced " fah-den " )

A crystal in which the inclusion of one or more white thread-like

fibrous formations occurs. The Faden is visible within the quartz

structure because it is surrounded by either a fluid filled or gaseous

chamber. The fiber is located usually at or in proximity to

the center of the crystal, perpendicular to the termination of the

crystal and may be linear and undeviating or curved/bent. Is is a

crystal of connection, stimulating and furthering connective forces

between the self and that which is chosen as the recipient. It is

also a stone for astral travel.

 

" FAIRY FROST "

Clear crystal with fractures and inclusions within (sometimes called

" Devic " ). To facilitate communication with the spirits in

nature; to open our hearts to the beauty and magic of nature; to

encourage us to care for Mother Earth.

 

" GENERATOR POINTS " also called " MERLIN "

Excellent quality crystal points with a centrally located point (the

facets on the point or tip are equidistant from one another, desirable

for generators or wand making). They foster wisdom,focus, magical power

and the wisdom to use the crystal in a propermanner.

 

" GOLDEN HEALER "

A quartz crystal which is partially or totally covered with atransparent

golden-yellow mineral. This has been used to assist

one in attaining and maintaining contact with the spiritual worldsand to

incite healing on all levels. It is an excellent stone for

use in all healing situations and promotes the recognition of methods

and techniques which will further recovery from all

disorders.

 

" IMPRINTS "

Imprints left on the surfaces or facets of a crystal, where they grew

in close proximity to another crystal. The imprints show how

something is affected by outside influences, thereby changing the shape

or form of the original structure, but the original structure

adapts to its environment to allow for growth and change, while still

maintaining its basic inherent truth and beauty.

 

" INCLUDED or INCLUSIONS "

When one is attracted to and uses included quartz, the quartz inclusion

will work with the person to provide the further nourishment and

qualities required. Usually the chlorite and hematite included quartz

provide the most powerful healing-type of included quartz.

 

CHLORITE INCLUDED:

Chlorite is one of the most favorable healing

stones. Worn, carried, placed within ones environment, or used as an

elixir, the properties of chlorite are overwhelmingly positive.

It attacks anger, hostility, and exasperation, and dissipates the

dissenting energy.

 

MANGANESE INCLUDED:

I am told that most of the inclusions in the

crystal from the mines I gather crystal from are Manganese inclusions.

The color of manganese inclusions range from metallic

grey to grey-black to black. It is a mineral of bonding, bringing

others closer and activating the energies of cooperation in group

efforts. It furthers a firm impenetrable resolve, such that that which

one initiates, one completes.

 

" ISIS FACE "

A five sided facet to put you in touch with and help you strongly

amplify your feminine energy. They put you in touch with the power

of the Goddess. This is a helpful crystal for both men and women.

 

" JAPAN LAW TWIN "

Has been used to stimulate the synthesis of the perfection of the

subtle bodies to the state of the physical body. Also used to

dissipate and to transmute deviations, working out problems on both the

physical and subtle levels. Excellent for clearing the aura

and for aligning the auric body with the physical structure. Stabilizes

emotions, to dispel anger, and to encourage one to

" expect a miracle " among other qualities.

 

" KEY "

Recognized by a three or six-sided indented shape located on the

crystal. The indent becomes narrower as it goes within the

crystal, and ends within the crystal, usually in an apex termination.

It is used to unlock the " doors " to healing concepts

and to those aspects of the self which tend to be illusive. It further

helps to answer questions like - why can't I..?

 

" LASER WAND "

A long slender crystal with small faces comprising the termination.

The crystal is wider at the base than at the tip

(tapers inversely), and the angles of the sides of the crystal are

curved, rather than straight, in many instances. These crystals

have an intimate relationship with both inner and outer space.

 

" MANIFESTATION "

The Manifestation crystal is recognized by a small crystal totally

enclosed within a larger crystal, and they are very rare. The use

of the manifestation crystal requires the inner knowledge that one is a

clear and perfect channel, that a pure white light provides

the guiding way, and that the purity of the Divine is within the inner

self. They can also be used to facilitate artistic

creativity, creative thinking, agricultural pursuits, and to increase

or decrease any aspect of ones life.

 

" PHANTOM CRYSTAL "

The Phantom crystal is comprised of a white or colored material and may

be partial or complete. The phantoms within a crystal provide

an indication of the experiences and the transformations the crystal

has undergone in its evolution. The crystal represents the

many phases and the many types of life which may be experienced during

ones lifetime. It is one of the Earth stones to be used for

redemption and cleansing of the earth. The energy of the phantom works

to bring together the participants of humanity to save the

planet.

 

" POCKET "

The Pocket quartz formation can be recognized by the formation of

pockets in large quartz structures. Used to assist one in memory

stimulation and to increase ones memory capacity.

 

" PYRAMID "

Pyramids focus and amplify energy through their shape and molecular

structure of the crystal from which they are made. The pyramid

focuses energy in a tight beam through the apex and has been used to

both charge and preserve objects. The energy taken on by the

pyramid depends upon what type of crystal it is formed from.

 

" RAINBOW "

Crystal which has rainbows inside when viewed in bright light. Promotes

hope, happiness and optimism and awakens us to the beauty

in Nature.

 

" RECORD-KEEPER "

Crystals which have small pyramid-shaped marking on one or more facets

which designated them as record-keepers or recorders. They

are commonly thought of as " crystal memory banks " which contain ancient

knowledge awaiting for just the right person who has the

ability to decipher it's hidden power.

 

" RUTILATED CRYSTAL "

Rutile crystallizes in the form of prismatic crystals, or in this case,

as needle-like crystals. It has been known to represent both

the lovely hair of Venus and the " sweet " tipped arrows of love. It has

been likened to the appearance of wheat straw and angel hair.

The ethereal aspects of rutile bring strength with love, ease in

transition, growth in all avenues of ones development, and calm,

reason and order. Rutile is used for healing and balancing the aura via

repelling negative energy. It affects the physical, etheric

and astral bodies. It assists one in getting to the root of a problem

and hence, provides for access to the reason for a dis-ease

, so that one can remedy the situation. It is a stone for stabilizing

relationships, marriages, mental processes, and

emotional and physical imbalances.

 

" SELF-HEALED "

Crystals which have " sealed " over their broken end with small

triangular shaped facets, which also smoothes the broken edge

(happens millennia ago when the crystal breaks in it's formation).

Because these crystals have healed themselves, we view them as

particularly powerful healing stones.

 

" SOUL-MATE or TWIN "

Two crystals grown together (attached side to side) and of a similar

size. To promote loving contact, tender communication and

togetherness; to help find our soul-mate on a personal level; to teach

us our souls are joined to all beings on a spiritual level.

 

" SPIRAL "

The spiral quartz crystal can be recognized by the twisted

configuration throughout the body of the formation. It has been

used to bring the universal spiral of energy to the physical body and

to assist one in maintaining connection with the physical plane

during meditation. It inspires the energy of love, such that all

chakras are activated into a spontaneous flowing movement,

providing for a balance of the male and female energies.

 

" TABULAR or TABBY "

A crystal with a flattened shape. To enhance communication, smooth

energy flow and integration of ideas and balance; to facilitate

understanding and dialogue between people; to help us communicate with

nature.

 

" TRANSMITTER "

Transmitters are recognized by a configuration of two symmetrical

seven-sided faces with a perfect triangular face located between

them. Through the use of these crystals, one can connect to the highest

wisdom and can receive specific information to specific

circumstances, OR can receive the universal truth necessary for ones

growth to enlightenment.

 

" WINDOW CRYSTALS "

A crystal with an extra diamond shaped facet. To let us see the Spirit

realms, or to lead us within to see our own souls.
