This is a Quartz Crystal that has been cut and polished in the style of a 12-sided Vogel wand. It has been here charging with Synergy for 10+ years.
The crystal itself has both high clarity areas and interesting patterns/inclusions for contrast. Including teeny tiny green Chlorite inclusions, and subtle white/cream Chlorite PHANTOMS that become visible from different angles. The Phantoms are subtle, but definitely there. Highlighted with ORANGE ARROWS in some close-up photos. Small shimmery areas and hints of rainbow sheen are present here and there, too.
The photos show different angles of the same piece. You are receiving ONE (1) piece - the exact one shown in the photos.
As is common for this style, there are a few tiny empathy dings here and there. They may be around the edges of the facets, or near the points. They do not affect the beauty or energy of the stone, and the price has been adjusted accordingly. I inspect each piece very carefully before photographing it. Much nicer 'in person' than the photos can show! Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 1.5oz and measures 2 3/8" inches long X 7/8" inch at the widest point. Code-250
The Vogel cut crystal is named after Marcel Vogel who designed the very precise cuts on quartz so that it acts as a very efficient, almost laser like focusing tool. When used with intention and unconditional love, this shape can really focus your energy for healing work or anything that you are working on transforming. This piece is not an actual Vogel, rather it is cut in the Vogel pattern. An original Vogel crystal is cut extremely precisely, and would cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. However, I think you will find that this crystal is a great tool in its own right!
Chlorite - Chlorite inclusions combine with the energy of the quartz crystal, forming what many believe are one of the most powerful healing crystals available. It is used to stimulate inspiration that one can take action on. They are also used to connect to Angelic Beings and Guides.

Quartz is often said to be the crystal or "stone" that everyone needs to start with. Quartz is the most recognized type of crystal and is what many people think of when they hear the word crystal - although there are many, many different types of crystals in all kinds of stones.
Quartz can be as clear as ice (ancients called quartz ‘Holy Ice’ and thought that it came from the heavens) or milky white.
It can have inclusions, veils, bubbles, unusual formations, etc.
Clarity is not important for a quartz crystals energetic quality and in fact, inclusions and impurities can make the crystal more energetic and increase it’s ability to amplify subtle energies. Without a few 'imperfections, the energy is often not as intense. Lab crystals are grown with impurities on purpose and depending on the type and placement, will change the frequency that the crystal oscillates at.
Quartz can store energy, amplify it, focus it, transmit it, transform it, balance it, absorb it…
Various types and formations are better for some things than others.
Quartz in any form is a powerful stone.
Quartz has long been used to direct and amplify thoughts and intentions - because all thoughts are a form of energy and intentions shape and will effect subtle energies. Because of this, it is useful for healing work, meditation, protection, and manifesting and channeling.
Quartz is thought to store information of all types and make it available again for retrieval. The idea behind this is that information is just another form of an energy pattern.
Quartz may be held directly on the third eye to increase the clarity of a psychic vision.
Many Indigenous healers and Crystal Healers use Quartz to perceive and communicate with other worlds, for dream work, scrying or crystal gazing, perceiving spirits and for channeling. Quartz may be used to dispel and clear negative energies.
Clear quartz is associated with the crown Chakra, but in the hands of someone skilled and focused, may also be used to energize all of the Chakras.
In Crystal Healing, Quartz is said to be effective for chronic fatigue, arthritis, depression, bone ailments and gastrointestinal troubles.
It is also used to improve mental and physical stamina.
Native legends speak of crystal skulls as an inheritance from ancient times. Said to “talk and sing” they are believed to carry messages for all mankind, including what may be discovered when we overcome our fear of death.
