Description
This unique 6.375" long Curved Optical Quartz Phantom Scepter Energy Wand, weighing 14.4 ounces, or 409.6 grams, was created by Lawrence Stoller, critically-acclaimed artist and crystal cutter who is known world-wide as a fabricator of magnificent works of art created in partnership with Nature & Light.
This precision light instrument is a powerful subtle energy tool, and can be used for many kinds of healing work as well as for meditation.
The overall structure of this gorgeous wand resembles the geometry of a scepter quartz formation, since it displays a fatter female termination tip and lower shaft, with a narrower upper shaft and well defined hexagonal male termination tip.
The curve in the shaft makes this large, heavy wand very comfortable to hold during lengthy Reiki or crystal healing sessions, and during meditation.
Lawrence fabricated this amazing healing wand from extremely rare natural optical grade quartz to create a Lightworker's power tool with enhanced ability to amplify and transmit Universal Life Force Energy.
Optical grade quartz is used for the manufacture of windows, eyeglasses, and lasers. Optical grade quartz has a well-defined crystal lattice structure, minimal inclusions, and enhanced ability to transmit light and other forms of energy.
Energy healers and Lightworkers know that natural optical grade quartz is the ideal crystal for use in meditation and healing.
However most optical grade quartz on the market today is grown in a laboratory.
This remarkable wand is made from a large stash of optical quartz Lawrence obtained more than 20 years ago.
This optical quartz energy healing wand exhibits a gorgeous phantom formation in the lower end of the shaft.
None of the inclusions reach the surface of this wand. The finish on this Vogel wand is brilliant, the proportions are elegant, and the surface is pristine.
"'Creative genius' is a term I have seldom used in my life," says William E. Boyajian, President of the Geological Institute of America. "But I use it now to describe Lawrence Stoller, for these are the words that typify both his passion and his ability to preserve and protect beautiful crystals of nature -- and thereby transform them into creations that inspire countless thousands of people around the world."
Lawrence's work is in worldwide museums & collections. He has created a magnificent centerpiece for American Express's Eleven Tears World Trade Center Memorial.
Personal Experience
Energetically, this powerful healing wand resembles a laser wand in some ways and an elestial wand in others.
Using this wand for Reiki treatments and in meditation, I have found that it delivers a strong, broad stream of exceptionally warm energy that connects first with the physical vehicle and then interacts with the subtle bodies comprising the human bio-field.
During Reiki self-treatment the energy delivered by this optical quartz energy healing wand was qualitatively different from that of conventional quartz Vogel wands, no matter how elaborate their faceting.

I had been working on the computer all day, and I directed the wand to the palm of my left hand. I immediately felt a strong energy in the bones in the back of my hand and in my fingers, and then the muscles of my hand relaxed noticeably.
When I directed the wand to my crown chakra, I immediately felt a strong flow of energy in my solar plexus, lower chakras, and even in my feet.
Clearly this wand delivers a powerful, penetrating energy stream that connects with the physical body for healing purposes. In this way, it is like a laser wand.
Although Vogel wands with more facets can deliver a more focused laser like stream of energy, the energy signature of this optical quartz Vogel wand felt as strong or stronger than other wands of greater size, with more facets, that I've had over the years.
Some of this difference could be a result of the special properties of optical grade quartz, which acts as a more powerful transmitter of electromagnetic energy, and some difference could be from the fact that Lawrence cut this wand prayerfully, by hand, using his intuitive guidance.
Using this wand in meditation, I found that it functioned in some ways like an elestial crystal. This wand facilitates the creation of bubbles and fields of energy, as well as directing a highly focused and coherent laser-like beam of energy.

I set my intent to create a bubble of protective energy around myself, and felt a definite increase in my auric field and a quickening of the flow of Universal Life Force energy, prana or chi, throughout my body and bio-field. Doing my mantras and practices, I found my mind clear and energized, and I performed my practices at record speed.
Using this wand in both Reiki and meditation practices, I was delighted with the way I could easily hold the heavy wand for extended periods of time, thanks to the curve in the shaft.
Mineralogical and Metaphysical Properties of Phantom Quartz and Quartz Scepters
This phantom crystal was created when a faceted tip formed at one point in the crystal's growth, but the crystal's growth was interrupted for some reason, and then the quartz crystal resumed its crystallization, enclosing the phantom crystal outline within itself.
One possibility is that a pocket inside the earth surrounding the crystal dried out, stopping the crystal's growth, and the pocket was later resaturated, triggering another stage of crystal growth. The final result was the formation of a phantom crystal displaying the termination faces, as is found in this crystal.
Each phantom represents a different stage in the crystal's growth -- and each stage can last for hundreds of thousands of years! Each phantom crystal reveals its own evolutionary pattern -- it is as though we can see the record of the transmigrations of the crystal's soul.
It should come as no surprise that phantom crystals help us to unearth our own histories, and to come to terms with unresolved issues from our past. Phantoms help us to see our own messy histories and our painful karmic issues as part of a beautiful spiritual evolution. In this way, they help to restore a sense of inner balance, unity and an aura of magic where there had been pain and struggle.
Crystal scepters were used by ancient high priests and priestesses as a mark of their spiritual station.

Such scepters were traditionally used as energy transmitters and library crystals, providing spirit workers with access to Timeless Wisdom Teachings and to Spirit Guides residing in Higher Worlds.
Scepter crystals are considered by 21st century Lightworkers to be powerful amplifers of energy, which can transmit as much energy as other quartz crystals many times their size.
In addition, healers we have talked to say that the all Scepter crystals are ideal tools for healing work in various modalities.

Apply the tip to acupressure points, nadis, or chakras while doing Reiki, acupressure or other healing work, and the scepter will focus the healing energy at the desired location in a most powerful and efficacious manner.
Mineralogical and Metaphysical Properties of Clear Quartz Crystal
Used in meditation and energy healing, clear quartz stimulates the entire chakra system, stimulating the flow of prana, or Universal Life Force Energy, throughout the body mind and aura, and helps unite the seven lower chakras and the physical body with the energy frequency of the Higher Self, aligning the eighth chakra with the rest of the energy body.
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 is the low-temperature stable form of silicon dioxide or silica. Silicon and oxygen are the two most common elements in the Earth's crust. Quartz crystal is perhaps the most common mineral found on the face of the Earth. Sand and sandstone are considered “clastic” forms of quartz by mineralogists, meaning that they are formed of fragments of pre-existing rocks.
Although quartz makes up a large portion of the Earth's surface, there are only three places in the world that have enough high quality quartz crystal to warrant mining. These are Brazil, Madagascar, a small island off the coast of Africa, and Mt. Ida in the Ouachita Mountain range of Arkansas.
Quartz crystals have a unique ability to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy and vice versa. This is called the piezoelectric effect. Quartz crystals are ideal for receiving, storing, amplifying and transmitting energy. They are used in computers, liquid crystal display watches, radios, radar systems and many other types of advanced technologies.
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.
Thus crystals represent the unity that underlies the apparent multiplicity of material creation, the unity of both material and spiritual worlds.
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.
“The shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water, but the blood of our ancestors,” Chief Seattle explained. “If we sell you our land, you must remember that it is sacred. Each ghostly reflection in the clear waters of the lakes tells of events and memories in the lives of my people."

"The water’s murmur is the voice of my father’s father," Chief Seattle declared. "The rivers are our brothers, They quench our thirst. They carry our canoes and feed our children. So you must give to the rivers the kindness you would give any brother.”
Quartz crystals, in this worldview, act as the Earth’s brain-mind, through which Spirit, the Universal Mind, maintains communication with all parts of Earth’s organism, equilibrating the earth’s temperature, moisture levels, and other important variables.
In addition, quartz crystals and other gemstones collectively create and modulate an electromagnetic field around the Earth, which is a vital component of the Earth organism’s auric field, and clear quartz crystals, identified with white light, represent the unifying vibrational frequency that harmonizes the seven rainbow rays of Earth’s many varieties of gems and minerals, within that auric field.
Thus in the Native American tradition, any human being who can attune to the power of the quartz crystal is in tune with Grandmother Earth, and obtains the ability to communicate directly with Spiritual worlds.
