I have recently discovered the incredible power of highly faceted crystal gemstones for meditation and vibrational healing. Although natural crystals have always been my favorite, I began to use Vogel cut crystals in my Reiki healing practice and my interest in faceted crystals led me to experiment with crystal gemstones.

The number of facets, the intricacy of the design, the mastery of the cutter the quality of the materials used, and other factors, all contribute to the difficulty of cutting crystal gemstones. The power of polished, highly faceted gemstones for healing and meditation has been documented in the Hindu Vedic and Western alchemical traditions for millennia, and what I have discovered is that there is a special magic to crystal gemstones, just as there is to highly faceted diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires.

The word crystal comes from the Greek word "krystallos", meaning ice. The Greeks found quartz crystals high in the frigid Alpine mountains, and Pliny (c. 62-113 A.D.), the foremost historian and mineralogist of his time, believed quartz crystal was ice that had frozen so hard it would never thaw.

One common legend is that crystals were originally heaven’s holy water, poured out by God into the aethers. As the holy quintessence descended toward the Earth, it froze into ice in outer space, where it was petrified into permanent solidity by angels so that when it fell to Earth it would be available permanently for the protection and blessing of mankind. [See “Rock Crystal: Nature’s Holy Stone”, by Frank Dorland]

Quartz crystals have been used by healers, spiritual teachers, and scientists of the sacred throughout history to receive, transmit, store, focus, amplify, transform and balance the various forms of energy found in our Universe, all of which can be considered to be interchangeable forms of Universal Light.

Quartz crystals have this marvelous ability because, metaphysically, quartz crystal expresses the unity of the five elements (Earth,Air, Fire, Water, and Ether or Spirit).Crystals grow deep in the earth and form much of the earth’s crust, yet crystals, like the element air, allow light to pass through them. Crystals are fiery in that they have piezoelectric properties yet they are watery in their hexagonal molecular structure which resembles snowflakes, and in their ice-like appearance. Crystals are quintessential expressions of the element of Ether or Spirit, which is synonymous with Universal Life Force Energy, the fundamental energy that sustains all forms of energy in the known universe.

From a metaphysical viewpoint, quartz crystals are cosmic tuning forks, harmonizing the soul, mind, heart and body of the user with the vibrational frequencies of Spiritual worlds – which are after all simply realms of light resonating at a much higher frequency than the material world.

Native Americans revere quartz crystals as the brain cells of Grandmother Earth. Viewing the Earth as a living organism, primitive stones such as granite and sandstone comprise the skeleton of the organism, the Earth’s crust is the skin. Vegetation and water channels make up the lifeblood of Earth’s body, and metals and minerals function as glands, nerves and sensory organs.

This beautiful crystal gemstone is basically water clear, with only the tiniest of internal inclusions, visible in the photo at the top of the page, seen toward the bottom of the stone. Needless to say, it is extremely difficult to find natural water clear smoky quartz crystals of the size necessary to cut such a gigantic gemstone.

The clarity of this gemstone is imparted to the bearer during meditation or when placed upon the body of a person during energy treatments. The healer could also place this powerful gemstone on an altar or table nearby the recipient during a treatment.

This amazing gemstone is a stunning additon to any altar and enhances the energy in any environment. It is ideal for placement on a coffee table, bedside table, or even by your computer, and will raise the vibrational level of any room in which it is placed.

This gemstone is the perfect size to hold in the hand during meditation, and can also be placed upon the body of a person receiving Reiki or other healing treatments. In meditation with this amazingly powerful gemstone, I felt my etheric body energized, my aura strengthened, and chakras opening from root to crown. This clear quartz works to quiet the mind and open consciousness to Higher Mind and Higher Wisdom. It has a deeply comforting presence & energy signature.

I have found that meditating with highly faceted quartz gemstones and using them in Reiki treatments can yield extremely powerful results. In my experience, there is a sharper focus to the energetic transmission of a faceted gemstone crystal and the clarity of the energy being transmitted is enhanced.
