Shaman's Window Crystal aka Scenic Quartz is a piece of quartz crystal with unusual organic looking inclusions inside that form patterns and shapes that can create a sort of screen or focal point.
This focal point can be used for scrying or crystal gazing. They can be useful in scrying for past life information.
The inclusions are usually
Chlorite: green, cream or tan/gold;
Kaolinite: white, cream, tan, grey, yellow, or light orange.
Hematite: grays, silvers, blacks, browns, reds, oranges or golds;
Rainbows formed from refraction and inclusions;
Phantoms that have formed in layers;
They may also contain rutiles and, rarely, tourmaline needles.
Without slicing or crushing the crystal and then testing the minerals, it's impossible to know for sure what the inclusions are that form the 'scenes' inside the crystals. For example, white, gold and orange inclusions can be Kaolinite or Chlorite or Hematite.
In recent years, these formations are also known as: garden quartz, landscape quartz, and
under the trade names of Lodolite, Lodelite or Lodalite.
Any way you spell it, Lodelite is a strangely unappealing name for something potentially very beautiful, since the literal translation means "mud stone" or "sludge" stone - from Spanish lodo = mud, sludge. Lodolite is NOT a type a quartz: it is a trade name.
In the last year or so, there has been a rash of brightly colored "garden quartz" sold that is not natural. It appears that the same kind of high pressure dying is used to treat a less colorful piece of quartz.
**Shaman's window quartz is not to be confused with "Time Window" quartz: they are two separate types of crystals, with very different properties.
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.
