This is a listing of the different types of growth that may occur with quartz crystal.
Artemis (Diana). Long crystal with sharp undamaged point resembling an arrow. Helps one to be strong, independent and to be good in competition.
Cathedral Quartz. No upper dividing line between at least one of its faces & sides (triangular upper point then straight down). Often has a receiver crystal shape on opposite side. Helps establish constant connection to the Earthkeeper. Large crystals buried deep in earth, usually a single snowy or milky point. Guardian and protector of that area of earth, resonating and setting that particular area’s energy.
Elestial. Smokey, burned look with tabular, rounded terminations and craters over surface with markings believed to be cosmic alphabet carrying information on universal laws not originally of Earth-origin. The foremost interdimensional communication stone. Jacare (Alligator) is a type of elestial with a more pronounced design and extracts energy blockages as well.
Generator (Merlin, Projector Crystal). Crystals terminating in 6 faces, all coming to a near-perfect point at the top center of the crystal. Can be very tiny to very large. Generate and project energy. Used to recharge other stones & crystals, to set the energy in a room especially a healing or meditation sanctuary.
Herkimer Diamonds. Only from Herkimer County, NY. Small, exceptionally clear, double terminated, barrel-shaped quartz crystals. Non-conformist powerhouses, helping us establish our own type of individuality.
Laser Wand. Resemble a wand, from very tiny to several inches, with 3-sided or slightly rounded points, usually not especially clear or attractive, a bit battered looking. DO NOT POINT these at anyone when examining; they direct energy and should be used only very consciously, for healing or psychic cutting and sewing of energies.
Left Handed. Quartz with an extra face on the left side of the larger face of the crystal. Means the crystal spiral within the crystal itself flows naturally to the left (can’t be seen). More receptive for energies of the left (feminine, yin, psychic, intuitive). Helps integrate right brain activities.
Life Path (Beauty Way). Long, thin crystals with one or more totally smooth sides. Helps you find, stay on, return to your path.
Master Channeling. Crystal with seven facets (sides). Helps you receive information from your teach masters.
Master Matrix (Master Programmer). Has most, if not all, of the currently know geometric shapes etched or engraved naturally somewhere on or inside the crystal. So powerful it hides itself, often unattractive
Mythic crystal. Double terminated snow quartz. Helps you move back & forth in history to access and explore the great myths and to explore and comprehend your own personal myths.
Needle Crystal. Long, clear, extremely thin and narrow (4xlong as wide). Used by healers to direct energy, on acupuncture points.
Osiris. Any naturally dark smokey quartz generator crystal. Channels energy from 7th chakra to lst chakra; descent of spirit solidly into matter.
Picture Window. Slightly rounded, naturally water-tumbled quartz with one end sliced off so that you can see into them, taking you into the inner meditative worlds. The naturally tumbled ones are stronger than the machine-tumbled ones.
Right Handed. Quartz crystal with an extra facet on the right side of the largest facet of the crystal. Energy flows naturally to the right. Helps activate the logical, intellectual, verbal, yang left brain and to deal with ego problems
Quantum. Three or more quartz crystals of equal or nearly equal size & length, naturally joined together. Have the power to influence probability waves – the probable outcome of a situation
Scanner. Crystal with one or more wide flat sides, often snowy looking. May also be a tabby. Used to scan energy systems. Impressions you receive are retained in the scanner so that you can more easily reaccess them. Helps to unwind energy knots.
Scepter. Crystal with younger overgrowth capping its termination, with phallic connection. Connecting to royalty, authority, whether spiritual or material.
Scrubbers. Crystal clusters of anysize whose points are all of even and nearly equal length. Used to energetically scrub down the energy around (not touching) an object. Needs to be cleansed often.
Self-Healed. A crystal severed from its original matrix and then later new solution poured in over and it grew new crystals over the break. Good for those who need to heal their own wounds.
Shard Crystal. Flat, broad slice of quartz that form in layered plate-like masses, either sheared off from original source or formed that way. Very soothing, useful in layouts. Helps you accept situations/self as you are.
Snow Quartz (Quartzite). Softer energy, supports one during lesson learning, helps maintain cooperation & tact.
Tabular (Tabby). Crystal with a flattened tabular shape, two of its opposite sides twice or more as wide as other sides. Communication experts, bridging and peacefully, productively integrating between all types of energies
