This is a natural Mongolian Quartz crystal. This is a natural piece, not polished or altered. It has an overall frosted look with interesting striations and etchings all over. Very energetic. I have loved Mongolian Quartz for years! It has a lovely silvery Marcasite "blossom" inclusion, plus multiple Bridge crystals, and is self-healed in areas.
There are organic textures and formations present throughout that you can feel as you run your fingers over the stone. ALL formations are 100% natural parts of the crystal.
It weighs about 3.1oz and measures approximately 3 1/4" inches long X 2" inches wide at the widest point (varies a bit throughout) X 1 1/4" inches thick at the thickest point (varies a bit throughout). Code-082124-18
A Bridge Crystal facilitates the connection between the inner and outer worlds, the self and others, and the self and other worlds. It is beneficial when you are attempting to share this knowledge with others. The bridge crystal is also useful for all types of teaching and helps with understanding and connections between the teacher and student.
Self-healed Crystals are crystals that have been damaged in some way, due to geological changes
that happened millennia ago, while the crystal was still growing. When the crystal broke, it slowly began to heal, smoothing the breaks and sealing the "injury."
Because they have healed themselves, they are viewed as particularly powerful healing stones.
Marcasite aka “White Iron Pyrite” is a form of Pyrite. It is used to enhance and balance male energies. It is said to afford protection and shielding of the physical, emotional and subtle energies. (aka the eggshell.) and is thought to promote good investments.
It is not commonly used in Crystal Healing.
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 the energetic quality of a quartz crystal, and in fact, inclusions and impurities can make the crystal much more energetic, and increase its ability to store and 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, those impurities will change the frequency that the crystal oscillates/vibrates at.
Quartz in any form is a powerful stone. 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 has long been used to direct and amplify thoughts and intentions. All thoughts are a form of energy and strong intentions will shape and affect subtle energies. Because of this, quartz can be 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 simply another form: an energy pattern. Quartz may be held directly on the third eye to increase clairvoyance abilities: help with the clarity of a vision.
Indigenous Healers. Medicine people and other crystal healers use quartz to perceive and communicate with Higher Beings, other realms, in dream work, for scrying or crystal gazing, perceiving Devas (Nature Spirits) and other kinds of spirits.
In the right hands, Quartz may be used to dispel and clear negative energies. For example, Tabular or 'flat' quartz is used to protect against harmful vibrations and even a directed psychic attack. It absorbs the dark energy and must be cleared regularly.
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.
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.
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.
