This is a beautiful Large QUARTZ Dragon Crystal Skull. Beautiful! VERY energetic! I only have a few Quartz pieces, and even fewer in this great larger size. So it's an extra special one! The crystal has intricate inclusions all throughout, including veils of HEMATITE here and there throughout. There are shades of reddish brown and black. Plus, some beautiful shimmery areas and hints of rainbow sheen that catch the light as you move the stone around in your hands. Best seen under a bright light or in natural sunlight.
You can feel a few subtle organic inclusions as you run your fingers over the stone. They can resemble pinpricks/tiny indents, or thin fine lines on the surface of the stone. ALL inclusions present are 100% natural parts of the stone. I inspect each piece very carefully before photographing it. A very special addition to any collection! Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 11.4oz (so just under 3/4 of a pound) and measures approx. 4" inches long X 2 1/4" inches wide at the widest point X 2 1/8" inches tall. Code-102723-21301
As a totem animal, the Dragon represents the supernatural, and the spiritual forces of change or transformation. The Dragon is a fierce protector, and brings vitality, enthusiasm, and courage! It will assist in overcoming obstacles and learning the qualities of leadership.
Hematite (sometimes spelled Hemetite) is used to assist in grounding and calming and in manifesting Divine Light in your life. It deflects and dissolves negative energies. Hematite is a stone for the mind. It helps one to "sort-out" things in one's mind and can be used for mental attunement, memory enhancement, original thinking and technical knowledge. It is a calming energy and encourages one to "reach for the rs". It is said to attract "kind" love and acts as a stabilizing force, brings peace, self-control and inner happiness. Shamans have used it with blood disorders. Hematite is associated with the root (base) chakra and is said to attract compassionate love. Hematite is a must for anyone interested in working with crystals and stones! In Crystal Healing, it is used to calm the nerves, for insomnia, and to align the spine and speed the mending of broken bones. Hematite is associated with the root (base) chakra.
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.
