This is a larger Himalayan Quartz STAR BEING / ET / ALIEN crystal skull. Shown next to US quarter coin for size comparison. SUPER ENERGETIC! It ahs both clear areas and intricate inclusions for contrast, including shimmery areas and rainbows that catch the light as you move the stone around, as well as Hematite inclusions here and there throughout. The stone itself is Himalayan, from the Himalaya Mountains near the Nepal/Tibet border, and very energetic! Himalayan Quartz is also some of the most energetic in the world because of the seismic activity in the mountain range, and how those mountains were created over 40 million years ago. (Scientists have found that the range formed from the collision of two major tectonic plates - the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate.)
MUCH nicer in person than any photos could ever show - I guarantee it!
It weighs about 8.2oz (so just over half a pound) and measures approximately 64mm / 2 1/2" inches long X about 57mm / 2 1/4" inches tall. Code-080324-21974
It has a few small organic spots that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. You can feel some of them as you run your fingers/fingernails over the stone. They can resemble pinpricks/tiny indents, fine lines, or shallow notches on the surface. ALL inclusions present in this piece come from 100% natural formations in the stone. These do not affect the energy or, I think, the overall look. Some people do not appreciate natural inclusions. I think it adds to the overall effect to have the natural inclusions in place. It takes a skilled carver to work with and honor the natural the crystal and not break the inner energy matrix. (But that is a personal preference!)
Rainbows in Crystals aka Rainbow crystals. These are said to be able to manifest some of the purest energies on the physical plane and assist in raising one's spiritual vibrations. It is thought that they may assist one in moving through negativity.
They have long been thought to be very helpful in achieving Lucid Dreaming, and are also used in other types of dream work, as they are said to bring about spiritual understanding and clarity to dreams.
They are also used to help manifest, and become aware of, the true meaning of one's "waking dreams."
The Rainbows are believed to assist one in knowing what is appropriate to focus on manifesting.
Rainbow crystals are used during meditation and divination.
They remind us to enjoy and appreciate living in the present moment.
They are associated with the Third Eye.
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, Hematite is used to calm the nerves, reduce pain, decrease insomnia, and to align the spine and speed the mending of broken bones. Some Indigenous healers used it for blood disorders.
Hematite is associated with the Root Chakra.
Himalayan Quartz has all of the properties of normal quartz, but it vibrates at a higher octave; Himalayan Quartz is some of the most intensely energetic quartz in the world. It has been used for millennia to establish a strong, clear connection to your High Self and your Guides, and to meditate on the oneness of all life. It is said to bring clarity of thought and purpose. Himalayan quartz is considered a great support to let go of fear, and open your heart.
These crystals carry the vibration of the many shamanic and spiritual healers who have lived in this area of the world, or traveled there, to collect these precious crystals and stones, to use in their ceremonial, spiritual healing practices. For the most part, these crystals are still reverently collected by hand, and then carried down the mountains, on the backs of devoted locals. Himalayan quartz is harder and harder to get, every year.
These crystals relate primarily to the Crown and Third Eye Chakras, but they can be used with all of the Chakras.
Almost all of our Tibetan and Himalayan Quartz specimens are from an area of the mountains near the Nepal/Tibet border.
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.
