Information Regarding The Healing Stones and
Their Qualities
Crystals, gemstones and other types of stones or minerals have been helping
us to heal for years, a good example is the copper bracelets that people
wear to help with Arthritis, or the magnets people are now placing on
various parts of their bodies to help with pain.
"Most people are familiar with the crystals that have been around for
years such as Amethyst, Malachite, and Obsidian but nowadays "Stones for the
New Age". They have made themselves known to facilitate the evolution
of the earth and all those upon it. These crystals have an extremely
high vibration that raises consciousness and opens the higher Chakras to
communicate with the other dimensions. Knowing how to use these
crystals is vital if you are to make use of the gifts they offer." The
Crystal Bible, A definitive guide to Crystals by Judy Hall
Whenever you
receive stones, you will need to cleanse them. This can be done
in a few different ways. Smudging, which is sage that you burn
and pass the stone through the smoke several times. Natural
spring water, you can buy this in the grocery store where the
waters are, pour it over the stone and imagine the stone
eliminating all of the energy it has absorbed from other people.
And lastly, place a stone in sea salt, make sure to be careful of
this because all stones do not work well when doing this, the salt
can erode the stone, I put a crystal glass in a bowl and surround
it with sea salt, this will allow any stone to be cleansed in this
manner.
Ranging From Somewhat
Scientific to Eminently Esoteric
Abundance Crystal A crystal point with smaller crystals growing around its
base. These crystals foster prosperity and well-being, success, good fortune and
all good things in life.
Activation Left Crystal (also called a Time-Link Crystal) - This crystal has an
extra inclined facet located to the left of the main face of the crystal (looks
like a parallelogram). These crystals are used to activate the right hemisphere
of the brain. Some attributes are creativity, imagination, psychic ability, and
meditation.
Activation Right Crystal (also called a Time-Link Crystal) This crystal has an
extra inclined facet located to the right of the main face of the crystal (looks
like a parallelogram). These crystals are used to activate the left hemisphere
of the brain. Attributes include logic, intellect, and action-orientation.
Artemis Crystal See Candle Crystal.
Asterism The effect of light rays forming a star, usually created through
reflection of light by thin, fibrous or needle-like inclusions that lie in
various directions within the mineral.
Aura Quartz Crystals Clear quartz crystals that have first been heated in a
vacuum to extremely hot temperatures, then electrically infused with other
chemical(s), usually 24k gold and/or a combination of other chemical elements,
to produce a permanently bonded color coating. These crystals are known by a
variety of names, such as: Aqua Aura, Opal Aura, Copper Aura, Flame Aura,
Titanium Aura, Angel Aura, Rose Aura, Aurora, Tanzine, and others. These
specialty crystals are known as intense auric cleansers.
Barnacle Crystal A crystal that is covered or partially covered with smaller
crystals. These crystals can be used to stimulate group cohesiveness.

partially in, and partially out of a larger crystal. It facilitates bridging
between the inner and outer worlds and between self and others. This crystal can
also be referred to as a Penetrator, a Trigger, or an Inner Child Crystal.
Burr A crystal cluster with point terminations radiating out in every
direction, not just up and out (like a haystack of sorts). High quality large
specimens are rare.
Cactus Quartz A crystal that has grown so quickly in the long direction that
the end faces are not filled in on the crystal aggregates to form a single
crystal. Tiny faces terminate each point, all in the same orientation. Often
called Spirit Quartz, the effect is of a cactus with stickers going out in all
directions.
Candle Crystal A long crystal with a sharp, undamaged point, resembling an
arrow (ratio of 6 to 1 or greater, length to width). Also known as an Artemis or
Diana, this crystal could also be considered just an elongated Generator
Crystal. It is very supportive of those who are struggling for independence of
all kinds.
Candle Quartz This crystal is a type of Elestial quartz, and appears as a
candle would with wax dribbling down the side. It acts to induce sensitivity and
prudence.
Cathedral Crystal This term is used in several contexts:
In reference to clear quartz, a Cathedral is a crystal that has no upper
dividing line between the facet and one of its sides (relatively rare, and often
found as the opposite side of the receiver face of a Receiver Crystal). Another
usage is that of an upright crystal with all of its facets resembling the spires
and towers of a church cathedral.
Amethyst Cathedrals (or Churches) are usually tall, thin geodes (again,
resembling church towers) that have been cut to display the sacred inner sanctum
of amethyst (and other) crystals.
Channeling Crystal Also known as a Projector, this crystal that has a large
seven-sided face located in the front center of the termination and a perfect
triangle located on the back side. These crystals assist one in accessing innate
wisdom and effectively communicating verbally.

by the reflection of light by parallel fibers, needles or channels. This
phenomenon is most effective when the stone is cut en cabochon, as in cats-eye
quartz jewelry.
Chimney Crystal A thin sheet-like piece of quartz that connects two larger
points, usually lasers.
Chlorite-Included Crystal Any crystal with chlorite inclusions. These crystals
promote celestial contact with the highest order of angels.
Cluster A group of single terminated crystals that share a common base. There
may be hundreds of points, or only two, but they live together in an evolved
community of peace and harmony. The auric light that surrounds a quartz cluster
is very bright and strong, and will bathe an entire area or room in radiance.
Comet Crystal A crystal with a number of tiny crater-like indentations on one
or more sides, ending in a spray trailing behind (like the tail of a comet).
This crystal is a great aid to being in sync with the entire universe and seeing
the big picture.
Consumption Crystal A rare form of quartz that appears as one crystal
engulfing or consuming another. This crystal is a stone for progression and
allows for a liberal flow of emotions.
Crater Crystal A crystal that at one time had another crystal(s) attached to
one of its sides. The missing crystal left behind a crater-like depression.
These crystals symbolize our capacity to detach, let go, and continue on.
Creator Crystal A larger crystal with a tiny completely formed crystal growing
deep within. Creator Crystals remind us there is always a seed of creation
available to us whenever we want to bring something new into our lives.
Cross Crystal A formation of two crystals attached to each other in the shape
of a cross. It is a world teacher, and an excellent stone for studying
spirituality, and the arts and sciences.
Crystal A solid mass of mineral, having a regular geometric shape and bounded
by smooth, flat surfaces (crystal faces).
Crystallography The study of crystals, including their growth, structure,
physical properties, and classification by form.
Curved Crystal A rare crystal formed in a bent or curved shape that emanates a
gentle, but powerful energy that allows access to the interior of the physical
body.
Dendritic Crystal A crystal that contains branch-like inclusions which
resemble a moss or plant form. It can facilitate closeness with nature, and also
stimulate recall of past lives relative to this earth.
Devic Crystal A crystal that contains multiple internal fractures and
inclusions of trapped water, air and gases (often called wispy veils or fairy
frost). These crystals can be any shape, formation, or size, and do not even
have to have terminations. But they are a great aid to tuning into nature
spirits and other beings of light.
Diana Crystal See Candle Crystal.
Dolphin Crystal A crystal that has a smaller, shorter crystal fastened along
its side. Use these crystals to attune to the water dwellers of our planet, and
to protect the young, the defenseless, the sensitive, the innocent.
Double Terminated Crystal A crystal that has a single termination on each end.
The energy flows in both directions at once, and can draw or transmit energy
through both ends. These doubly powerful crystals are great for dreaming,
meditation, and astral projection.
Dow Crystal A crystal that has a termination with three perfect triangle
facets, separated by three seven-sided facets. This versatile crystal represents
near perfect balance, and can assist in just about all matters.
Drusy Quartz Crystal A crystal dusted with an encrustation of minute
projecting crystals, usually of the same material. Drusy Quartz is one of the
best energy tools for working through any self-exploration

accomplishment, balancing a desire for material things with spiritual growth.
Elestial (or Elestiated) Crystal This crystal, sometimes called Skeleton
Quartz, has a smoky look and appears to have been burned by fire. The youngest
form of quartz on earth, it is unlike any other form of quartz. Flowing
terminations (usually not sharp) have formed over the faces and body of the
crystal, and are usually tabular, rectangular or square, with rounded corners.
Markings on the surface can have the appearance of cryptic hieroglyphics, a
cosmic alphabet of sorts. Once you see one, youll always recognize an Elestial!
Empathic Crystal A crystal with damage. These crystals are considered
unattractive, through no fault of their own, and can assist us in developing
compassion for the suffering of others.
Enhanced (or Treated) Crystals Crystals that have been put through a process
to change or improve the crystal in some way, often affecting the color of the
crystal.

the surfaces from the body to the termination. The words facet and face are
commonly used interchangeably.

double terminated crystal found only in Herkimer County, New York. Exceptionally
clear, these crystals are the power horses of the crystal clan, no matter the
size, and true Herkimers are becoming difficult to find in the marketplace.
Included (Inclusion) Quartz Quartz that has any of the following included
within its interior: foreign particle or mineral, organic inclusion, liquid or
gas, irregularity in the crystal lattice, color striations, breaks and splits.

traits that give each crystal its unique identity.
Inner Child Crystal A crystal partially embedded in another crystal or a
smaller crystal cradled between two parent crystals. Protect the child in you!

These crystals strongly amplify feminine energy and are powerful healing
crystals.
Jacare Crystal A form of Elestial Quartz

joined in the same plane at an angle of about 84 degrees. This is an excellent
crystal for clearing the auric field.
Key Crystal A crystal recognized by a three or six-sided indentation that gets
narrower as it enters (and ends within) the crystal. What doors would you like
to unlock?
Laser Crystal A long, slender crystal that tapers to a small, sharp
termination. Sides are frequently uneven, some are etched, and they have a
slightly ancient, used look. The energy of this wand is well focused in the
small tip, and the use of a laser wand during meditation establishes finer
communication between other worlds.
Left-Handed Crystal A quartz crystal with an extra face on the left side of
the largest face. This means that the crystal spiral within the crystal itself
flows naturally to the left. This crystal is naturally most receptive to
incoming energy when held in the left hand or held on left side of the body.
Lens Quartz See Sheet Quartz.
Level Crystal See Enhydro Crystal.
Library Crystal A crystal that has many newer, flat, stubby crystals attached
to the outside surface of the larger crystal. These are overgrowths, and often

equidistant faces). These crystals simultaneously receive and project energy,
and are considered great multi-functional tools.

naturally etched into one or more of its faces. These figures will often appear
after awhile, even if they were invisible at first inspection. Wisdom is

and pure hearts can attune to the information held therein.

Self-Healed Crystal, and assist us in dreaming and transforming our lives.
Sheet Quartz Crystals that form in flat layers. Also called Lens Quartz, this
quartz provides windows to other dimensions.

Smelted Quartz This quartz has been refashioned by a man-made process of
melting raw, natural quartz at high temperatures, mixing in a few additives
(copper, for one), then cooling and shaping it into its new form (spheres are a
common choice). Resulting crystals are frequently of high clarity, and often
contain beautiful fluffy, cloud-like inclusions. Not-so-beautiful quartz is
given this wonderful opportunity to become more than it could ever be on its
own, resulting in beautiful art pieces to be treasured forever.
Soul Mate Crystal See Twin Crystals.
Spade Crystal This quartz has a face that is shaped much like a spade in a
deck of cards. Similar to a Shovel Crystal, the spade facet is shorter on this
quartz. Use this one for astral travel!

been used to activate the movement of kundalini energy through the chakra
centers of the physical body.

equal size and length, growing side-by-side. These crystals are a reminder that
we are never alone, and facilitate our connection with spirit guardians, guides
and teachers in other dimensions.

cactus cluster with stickers or spires sticking out. These crystals can be found
on both clear and amethyst quartz clusters (the amethyst clusters usually
display a lavender color rather than deep purple). Spirit Quartz can be used to
strengthen group cohesiveness, generate energy, and assist one when experiencing
loss.
Striated Quartz A crystal with shallow, parallel grooves on the side or face
surfaces, sometimes referred to as growth lines.
Tabular Crystal A crystal that is flat, with two of its six sides being at
least twice as wide as the others. Also known as Tabbies, these special crystals
emit a very high vibration and are not found in all mines. Tabbies are strong,
powerful connecting communicators, and are excellent tools for bridging any
gaps. Tabular Crystals often become personal meditation pieces or private
teacher crystals.
Tangerine Quartz A crystal coated with an orangish tangerine-colored material
that is not removed in the usual acid baths. This crystal is commonly used to
promote Inner Self evaluation and evolution.
Tantric Twin Crystal See Japanese Twin Crystal.
Teacher Crystal A crystal containing the shadow of a shape or form (human or
otherwise). These forms are symbolic, personal to the individual using the
crystal, and can appear in any other type of crystal personality.
Time-Link Crystal A crystal with a parallelogram as one of its faces (usually
much smaller than the other faces). If the parallelogram leans to the left, it
supports you in achieving your goals. If it leans to the right, it is a great
tool for sparking your natural inspiration and creativity. Trace the evolution
of your essence throughout physical time.
Toning Crystal A crystal that is most often found as a long, thin, perfectly
clear crystal, single or double terminated, with most angles at right angles to
one another. Unlike the used look of Laser Crystals, Toning Crystals almost
appear to be man-made. These crystals are used to intensify, amplify and store
sound.
Transformation Crystal A crystal of any configuration. It wont be recognized
until a change actually occurs in the crystal itself, such as its shape,
quality, and/or color. This crystal assists one in forward movement in all
aspects of life.
Transmitter Crystal A crystal with two symmetrical seven-sided faces on both
sides of a three-sided triangular face. The triangle will always be in the
center of the crystals faces, with a seven-sided face on either side of it.
Transmitters are often Record Keepers as well, and are outstanding tools for
sending and receiving telepathic messages.
Treated Crystal See Enhanced Crystal.
Trigger Crystal A crystal with a smaller crystal on one of its sides, near the
base (although it can be further up the side). Triggers can occur in any crystal
personality, and they allow for short, intense bursts of energy directed to the
target of your choice!
Trigonic Crystal A crystal with many small triangles on the termination faces,
pointing in both directions. Unlike Record Keepers with their perfect
equilateral triangles, these triangles appear wavelike, with many overlapping
each other.
Twin Crystal A crystal that has grown together with another (Contact Twin) or
intergrown with another (Penetration Twin) in such a way that parts of each
crystal are in parallel alignment and parts of each crystal are in reverse
position in relation to the other.
Also called Soul Mate Crystals, they are nearly equal in size and length, and
assist in the building of relationships at all levels.
Twin Flame Crystal Two crystals that are either joined at the base in a
V-shaped formation or at their sides. They are similar crystals, but not the
same size or length. These crystals help us attract kindred souls on a platonic
level rather than on a romantic one.
Veil (Wispy Veil) Crystal A crystal containing thin, wispy veils inside.
Sometimes called Fairy Frost, these veils can appear like silver foils or
mirrors, and often reflect prismatic colors. Veil Crystals are outstanding
meditation tools, especially when two sides of an issue are involved.
Wall Crystal A crystal with a veil stretching completely across, dividing it
into two sections. This type of crystal is used when simultaneous access to
past, present and future is needed.
Wand Crystal A long slender crystal tapered to a sharp termination, usually
longer than three inches. It carries the same capabilities as the Laser Wand,
but may not have the same etched appearance.
Warrior Crystal A crystal (most often a Generator, Laser or Quantum) that has
damaged, chipped or broken points. Warrior Crystals often display gorgeous
rainbows, reminding us to overcome our damage and shine our lights as they do.
These power pieces make great vision quest tools.
Window Crystal A crystal that has a perfect diamond shape in the center front
of its faces, large enough to easily peer into. The corners point to the four
directions, and often make up the seventh face of a crystal (see 7-Faceted
Crystal). Use a Window Crystal in meditation to gaze into your inner nature.
X Crystal Two crystals that have grown together naturally to form an X. These
crystals have the special ability to bring female/male energies into harmony,
and can be used when a well-balanced decision is needed.
Y Crystal Two crystals that have grown together naturally to form the letter
Y. A great companion piece to the X Crystal, these crystals balance female/male
energies and are good tools for developing natural intuition and telepathy.
