Description
This extremely rare, natural Brazilian quartz Water Clear Octagonal 88 Facet 8 Gate Master Cut Vogel Healing Wand, cut by Brazilian Master Cutter Ray Pinto, is extraordinary in every way. For over 30 years, crystal healers and energy workers have been thrilled to experience the artistry and power of Ray's unique designs. It is a tragic loss for all of us in the crystal community worldwide that Ray died earlier this year. Ray's gorgeous wands are now collector's items as well as Lightworker's power tools.
This amazing professional lightworker's tool measures 5.95 inches long and weighs 10.2 oz., 288 grams, or .64 pounds, yet it is perfectly balanced, easy to hold in the hand during extended meditation or crystal healing sessions.
The female termination tip of this Vogel Phi crystal looks like a small pyramid, because this wand was cut to mimic the proportions of the Great Pyramid at Giza, which is thought to be a mammoth antenna and amplifier for Universal Life Force Energy, built with Phi ratio proportionality.
This unique Vogel Phi crystal wand has 88 sparkling flat facets on the female termination tip, 88 facets on the male tip, and 8 concave facets on the shaft.
This is a style of Dream Vogel Wand that Ray created in 2013, to improve the look and energetic power of these gorgeous healing tools.
Ray extended the concave faceting on the shaft of this wand onto the female termination tip, a testimony to Ray's unparalleled craftsmanship. These extensions interact with the intricate faceting on the male and female tips, creating an amazing kaleidoscopic effect that catches the light and creates brilliant sparkles within the tips similar to what you see inside a diamond or other cut and faceted gemstone.
These concavities on the female termination tip also serve an important energetic function -- enhancing the flow of Universal Life Force energy from the palm chakra of the individual using the wand, and thus increasing the flow of this healing energy through the wand.

We obtained this amazing Vogel Wand from the collection of Marcel Vogel's student Paul Jensen this month. It is one of the most ambitious and elaborate cut crystal healing wands ever conceived and executed on planet Earth.
This design was created by Brazilian Master cutter Ray Pinto to optimize the flow of Universal Life Force Energy from Source into and through this remarkable tool for crystal healing.
The energy of this amazing Vogel wand is that of clear water rushing down a mountain stream, refreshing and washing away all blocks, sorrows & detrimental energies.
Energetic Properties of the Eight Sided Vogel Wand -- and of the Eighty-Eight!
We are pleased to offer this one-of-a-kind Vogel healing wand to our customers!
This precision cut crystal, cut according to the specifications of legendary IBM scientist and crystal healer Marcel Vogel, is a powerful instrument, and can be used for many kinds of healing work as well as for meditation.
Marcel Vogel believed that a healing crystal cut with 8 sides has a very special energy signature, enabling crystal healers to work on the physical, astral, and mental bodies of the subject simultaneously. This amazing 88 sided 8 gate Vogel wand has the same octahedral sacred geometry but the power of this wand is like that of an 8 sided Vogel wand multiplied many times.
"The eight sided crystal moves beyond the physical body," Vogel explains in the manuscript of his previously unpublished book, soon to be published by Satya Center under agreement with the heirs of Marcel Vogel. "It is designed to remove multiple layers of pattern which do not come out with a four or six-sided crystal. The eight-sided crystal has even sharper angles on the tips. The rate of penetration is even higher. And the precision you must work with is even more exact. With an eight-sided crystal you can link with the subtle bodies of a person, their programming, and with the total intention of that person to be free and move on their path. It can be used for difficulties involving deep shock, severe trauma, difficult birth experiences, et cetera, touching down into the soul level. . .They are serious instruments to be used for healing and therapy and for a higher purpose, to serve mankind."
Marcel Vogel's Crystal Wisdom
This precision light instrument, with a unique cut based upon the specifications of legendary scientist and crystal healer Marcel Vogel, is a powerful subtle energy tool, and can be used for many kinds of healing work as well as for meditation.
“The crystal is a neutral object whose inner structure exhibits a state of perfection and balance,” according to crystal researcher Marcel Vogel, a senior scientist with IBM for 27 years. “When it's cut to the proper form and when the human mind enters into relationship with its structural perfection, the crystal emits a vibration which extends and amplifies the powers of the human mind. Like a laser, it radiates energy in a coherent, highly concentrated form, and this energy may be transmitted into objects or people at will.”
Marcel Vogel worked for IBM for 27 years doing research and development. He developed the magnetic coating for IBM’s disc drive, which acts as the storage unit for a computer's memory, he created the first liquid crystal displays, or LCDs.
From his experimental work with crystals, Vogel learned that by pointing a crystal at another person, the crystal would amplify the person’s thoughts and emotions. This often also led to putting the individual into an altered state of consciousness. The next step was for Vogel to utilize the quartz crystals for therapeutic purposes.
Marcel Vogel sought to use the power of science and of the lapidary arts to perfect crystalline forms of nature in order to maximize their potential for receiving, amplifying and transmitting Universal Life Force Energy charged with the intent to heal and with the force of love. Vogel cut his crystals to harmonize with the natural quartz structure to enhance the energetic properties of the wand for healing purposes, and the result is also aesthetically pleasing.
To learn more about Marcel Vogel and his techniques for crystal healing, read the first several chapters of his never-before-published autobiography, edited by Curtis Lang, which is in our Vogel Archives.
You'll find Marcel Vogel's instructions for using crystals for healing and meditation in the book along with a lot of other very important information for all metaphysical rockhounds.
Vogel believed that the most important thing to remember in working with faceted crystals for healing is that the purpose of the faceting should be to amplify and transmit an increasingly coherent stream of energy to a subject.
Some hexagonal quartz crystal wands occur naturally with six more or less equilateral sides and more or less equal triangular termination facets. Energy healers discovered that these six sided wands amplifed the energy being transmitted by the wand when the termination facets on the female end created a more obtuse angle and when the termination facets on the male end created a more acute angle.
In a naturally formed quartz crystal of somewhat irregular shape and symmetry, the energy within the crystal tends to move through the crystal in a less directed way than the Vogel style cuts. But when a crystal had a very definite symmetry, especially the hexagonal symmetry, then the energy gathers in the larger, receptive end of the crystal, and if directed by a knowledgeable human hand, travels in a series of tighter and tighter concentric circles around the interior of the crystal, and down into the tip of the male end of the crystal, where it would be emitted as a much more coherent stream of energy.
Energy healers also discovered that when the sharp male tip of the healing wand is congruent with the C-axis of the crystal, exactly centered within the circle formed when you look head-on at the male end of the crystal, this made the energetic flow stronger and more coherent.
When the sharp tip on the female end of the crystal, where the six termination facets meet, is congruent with the C-axis of the crystal, exactly centered within the circle formed when you look head-on at the female end of the crystal, this made the energetic flow stronger and more coherent.
Total symmetry created the crystal healer's version of the laser beam.
Marcel Vogel's healing wands were refined artistic versions of this well-known type of hexagonal natural healing wand, known for millennia to energy healers worldwide.
According to Marcel Vogel's written specifications for Vogel healing wands, good Vogel wands should have precisely equal facets on the shaft and tips; good clarity, preferably 90% or more; a well-defined C-axis that runs parallel to the shaft; and termination tips centered in the very middle of the shaft. The male and female terminations should be sharp, and the male should be more acute than the female. The female termination should be larger than the male tip.
The male termination tip of this gorgeous Vogel healing wand is fashioned to form an extremely sharp tip designed to maximize the coherence and strength of energy streaming from the wand, while the female termination tip was cut a little wider, to maximize the area available for input of Universal Life Force energy from Source, and particularly from the palm chakra of the crystal healing practitioner.
As the prana spirals down the shaft of the wand, the energy stream is amplifed every time it encounters a facet on the shaft. The super-charged energy stream coalesces at the male end of the wand, and is emitted as a highly coherent laser-like beam for use in meditation, vibrational healing and subtle communications.
Energy and crystal healers prize Vogel cut quartz crystals to this day. The art of cutting crystals for use in healing requires extensive knowledge of the high art of crystal-cutting and polishing, an intuitive feel for the subtle energies involved, and an awareness of the needs of the energy healer who will be using the wand.
In his early experiments with cutting healing crystals, which he conducted for many years, Marcel Vogel saw the Kabbalistic Tree of Life in a dream, which is shaped very much like four sided crystal wand with double termination tips. He created his first 4-sided healing wands in that shape, and told the story of their origin in the crystal healing workshops he gave students around the world.
Model created by Robert Wang, from his book The Qabalistic Tarot
Over time, Marcel also designed 6, 8, 12 and 13 sided double terminated crystal healing wands and 6 sided single terminated meditation crystals with a flat base. At first he and his family cut them and sold them to students of crystal healing. Later they involved other cutters as well.
Ray Pinto's brother Walber Pinto studied directly with Marcel Vogel, who is now deceased, and Ray and Walber have practiced crystal healing and precision cutting of crystal healing wands for decades. Their artisanship and dedication to energy healing is well known wherever Lightworkers gather throughout the world.
Since Marcel’s death in 1991, crystal designers and cutters like Ray Pinto and Drew Tousley, who was one of Marcel Vogel’s early cutters, have created healing crystal wands of new types with incredibly complex designs based upon principles of sacred geometry, which are still true to the basic ideas of Marcel Vogel.
Today, we have 24-sided, 33-sided, 44-sided, 88-sided 108-sided and 144-sided Kabbalistic crystal healing wands, cut in the highly geometrical style originated by Marcel Vogel.
In addition we have Dream Vogel wands, created by Ray Pinto after Marcel came to him in a dream in the early Nineteen Nineties.
Origins of the Dream Vogel Healing Wand
In 1997 Vogel appeared to Ray Pinto, who is the Brazilian cutter of this Vogel healing wands, in a dream. In the dream, Vogel showed Pinto the design for a unique healing wand with concave faces nestled among the traditional flat facets, on male and female ends. It took Ray nearly two years to refine the equipment he uses to cut the stones so that he could produce these exceptional precision healing tools.
The Dream Wand connects the bearer to a Higher Octave of Energy, the energy configuration that exists in the realms above the seven physical chakras and the eighth chakra which is the locus of the Higher Self.
Pinto says that the design is unique in its ability to connect us with our own Divinity so that we may more fully embody Unity Consciousness here on Earth. 
"The Dream crystal is composed of a combination of two facets," Pinto explains. "One is thin and flat and the other is concave and wide. The first thin and flat surface is termed a DOOR. The second concave and wide surface is called a GATE. At the upper and lower terminations of the crystal there are thin and narrow facets known as WINDOWS, or combinations of the fine narrow facets with the large concave facets that reflect the body of the crystal."
Pinto has designed the Dream wand to generate two kinds of energy fields. First, a concentrated laser energy field which flows through the focal points at the male and female termination tips of the wand. Second, a wide-angle plasma energy field that flows out through the concave faceted windows at the top and bottom of the wand's shaft.
Thus this wand combines a highly focused laser-like flow of light energy from the male termination tip with a broader field of energy that†radiates outward from the concave faceted sides of the wand on the male end, during normal use.
"The plasma field of energy is similar to that of a DNA molecule," says Pinto. "Since this plasma energy field has the same characteristics as the vibratory pattern of the DNA molecule, the Dream Crystal naturally resonates with the DNA of the cells, causing a release of genetic information that may be the cause of illnesses and certain abnormal behavior that inhibits our true freedom. Similarly, the laser energy field generated by the crystal acts in the psyche of the person, fully cleansing and organizing the matrix of the body/mind. In this regard, the Dream- Flower Healing Crystal is a powerful subliminal mind laser and a tremendously effective device for energy healing."
Pinto says that the design is unique in its ability to connect us with our own Divinity so that we may more fully emody Unity Consciousness here on Earth. For many years Ray produced 3, 4, 5, 6. and 7 gated Dream Vogel Wands, and only in the last couple of years has Ray produced the remarkable 12 Gate Dream Wand with 108 Facets.
Now Ray Pinto has created yet another breakthrough design, a 21st Century update of the extremely powerful and popular Dream Flower Wand. Pinto's latest design, contains an astounding 8 Gates on the shaft, connecting the receptive female tip with the shaft of the wand energetically, and enhancing the flow of Universal Life Force Energy into and through this unique crystal creation.
This amazing wand has 88 facets on the male and female termination tips, 8 concave facets on the shaft, and 8 flower petal indentations on the shaft to optimize the flow of Universal Life Force Energy from Source into and through this remarkable tool for crystal healing.
Look at the head on view of the female end, above, and the side shots of this amazing Dream Wand on this page, and you'll see the concave facets of the new cut Dream Wands very clearly. You can also see the beautiful intricate scalloping where the shaft meets the termination faces. This is truly the work of a master craftsman, whose intent is informed with a most modern understanding of the ancient wisdom incorporated in forms of nature as manifested in the art and science of sacred geometry.
This wand comes with its own FREE handmade pouch constructed of 100% polyester fleece and micro bonded suede that has the look and feel of real sheepskin. They are designed for a snug fit and come with extra padding to protect delicate tips and points.
