This is a special Quartz Crystal Shaman's Window stone! (Not to be confused with a "Time Window" crystal.) Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. It has been here charging with Synergy for 16+ years and is finally ready to go out into the world. It is A quality Quartz, with a high level of clarity to the crystal surrounding multi-colored HEMATITE and CHLORITE inclusions that form very intricate patterns. REALLY cool! The longer you look, the more detail and beauty you will see! The base has been smoothed but left more natural, while the front/dome is polished. The perfect size for holding in your hand while meditating. It could also be wire wrapped for a nice focal pendant, or used in a crystal grid.
There are small organic spots here and there from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. ALL inclusions present are 100% natural and do not effect the beauty or energy of the stone. Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 2oz and measures approximately 1 5/8" inches long X 1 9/16" inches wide at the widest point X 7/8" inch tall. Code-112024-114
A Shaman's Window stone is a piece of Quartz crystal with unusual organic looking inclusions inside that form a sort of screen which can be used as a focus for scrying or gazing. Usually these inclusions are Chlorite and/or Hematite. (Not to be confused with a "Time Window"! They are 2 separate types of stones, with very different properties.)
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.
Hematite (sometimes spelled Hemetite). Hematite is a must for anyone interested in working with crystals and stones. It is said to assist in grounding and calming and in manifesting Divine Light in your life. It deflects and dissolves negative energies.
Hematite is said to help one to 'sort things out' and can be used for memory enhancement, original thinking and technical knowledge. Hematite, especially in its natural crystalline form, is traditionally thought to bring peace, self-control and inner happiness.
It is a calming energy and is said to attract "kind" love and act as a stabilizing force.
In Crystal Healing, it is used to calm the nerves, for insomnia, and to align the spine and speed the mending of broken bones. Some Indigenous healers have used it with blood disorders. Hematite is associated with the root (base) Chakra.
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.
The inclusions are usually
Chlorite: green, cream or tan/gold, mauve;
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 formation is 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.
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.
