Rutilated Quartz has a perfect balance of cosmic light and grounded energy. This crystal illuminates your soul and promotes spiritual growth. It attracts the highest forms of spiritual guidance, draws off negative energy, and dispels connections to past negative energy. Through this, rutilated quartz facilitates interdimensional contact.

A protective and forgiving crystal, this is an ideal stone for therapists and counselors. It filters out negative energy from others while supporting their aura when going through an emotional release or confrontation. It also helps protect yourself and others from psychic attacks and the effects of depression.
