This lovely double terminated Chinese Enhydrous Quartz Phallic Wand has "bubbles" in the water within it, which are small pieces of black chlorite. This unusual wand is terminated on both ends, with configurations toward the narrow end which almost appear to make this piece an elestial crystal. You can see one of the turrets in the photo on the very bottom of the page at the narrow tip. The varied inclusions within range from rainbows, bubbles, etchings upon the surface and even some babies which have begun to grow.

You can see the unusual shape of this wand, quite uniform on one side & narrowing on the other side. The narrowed area is where the turrets appear, making me think this may be an elestial. (The red markings on the phallic tip of the stone and the other end in the photos below. can be cleaned off with alcohol. They are placed there at the mine to make it easier to find the water bubbles. I have drawn white arrows on the photo to show where the bubbles &/or chlorite appear.) You can see the detail of the 'babies' to the right.

The word enhydrous comes from the Greek and means "having water within". The American Geological Institute’s Glossary of Geological Terms uses the term "enhydro" strictly to refer to "a hollow nodule or geode of chalcedony containing water, sometimes in large amounts".

Most rockhounds refer to any crystal containing a pocket of water as an "enhydro" and we prefer the common usage to technical terminology so we refer to water-containing crystals as enhydros. Enydros often contain bubbles of air trapped in the pockets of water within the crystal, and so they are also sometimes called "water bubble quartz".

Water bubble quartz enhydros like this small Chinese Sceptre were formed by some estimates as much as 220-400 million years ago. The edges of the quartz formation crystallized faster than the inner regions, forming troughs that trapped water and other material. As the inner troughs cooled, and were covered by yet more layers of crystal growth, the trapped liquid would cool and contract, forming air bubbles within the crystal. By the logic of their formation, enhydrous water bubble quartz usually contains more inclusions than other types of crystals, so you won't find stunning clarity in a water bubble quartz crystal. That would be against their nature.

These rare crystals have some unique metaphysical properties that lightworkers, meditators, and spiritual seekers will appreciate. Water is associated with the emotions, and the emotions are associated with the emotional body, often called the astral body, which is the home of our dreams, ancestral spirits and past-life imprints.

Enhydrous quartz contains water that has retained its purity over countless millennia and been continuously charged and cleansed by the surrounding quartz crystal formation, so that water represents emotions that have undergone a most rigorous and thorough purification.

Thus enhydrous crystals can be used to purify the emotions, to encourage the smooth flow of emotional life, to remove emotional blockages, and to facilitate the release of  emotional blockages caused by traumas in this and previous lifetimes.

Like most Chinese and Tibetan scepters & wands, this unique crystal is not perfectly uniform. It contains a couple of cavities and even a small chips on the tips resulting from somewhat difficult mining and shipping conditions but this in no way impairs the spiritual utility or mineralogical value of this piece.

This crystal has been cleaned with Universal Life Force Energy, and given an energy attunement using Reiki, a Japanese technique of energy healing, so it will continue to receive and transmit Universal Life Force Energy direct from the Source of Creation. It has also cleaned and charged with the natural energy of sunlight. It is ready for you to program according to your own needs and desires.

Use this powerful crystal with loving wisdom and respect its long journey in the Earth that has lasted for many long historical cycles. Accepting this crystal into your life is a responsibility as well as a delight. This crystal is a powerful tool, a love-gift from the Divine Mother, and should be treated with the utmost respect and appreciation.

Accept it into your life with gratitude to Mother Earth, and use it to heal yourself and to heal others.
