This is a listing of different kinds of surface alterations that can occur in a crystal.
Comet
A crystal with a number of tiny crater-like indentations on one or more sides ending in a spray brailing behind, like a comet. Helps you locate and control the tremendous power & energy rushing towards humans from inner, spirit worlds.
Crater
At one time it had one or more other crystals growing attached, now missing, leaving a crater-like depression. Helps you to detach & let go – as of people, jobs, ideas – and to continue go on as a whole individual.
Gateway (Aperture)
Cup-shaped depression large enough to hold liquid, for making elixirs and scrying into other times/places.
Key (Aperture)
Indentation that narrows as it penetrates the crystal, often 3 or 6 sided. Provides doorway/portal to hidden parts of self/energy/universe.
Tube
Has natural troughs running along the side of the crystal, helping healers to direct energy.
Warrior and Empathic Crystals
Crystals that have been mishandled & badly treated at sometime in their lives and now have broken parts. Warriors are less damaged; they help us overcome our own damages when we still have the fighting spirit. Empaths are severely damaged and nurture those whose issues have caused a collapse of confidence and the ability to cope.
