This amethyst is a sparkling 5 lb 9.1 oz, 6.9” by 6” by 3.5” fairy-castle like cluster with the softest amethyst color you’ve ever seen – like a frosty shadow at dusk.  Her faces bear subtle glyphs and her sides are softly frosted with very interesting Lemurian lines and glyphs that give her an opalescent look; she is glossy all over and was extremely hard to photograph as a result.  Her base is white quartzite and she has a small side contact area.  Many of her points glitter with the druse of tiny quartz crystals with siderite staining, giving a soft, etheric pale gold and pale violet mix that truly stimulates the Crown.  As you turn her, every angle shows a different and wondrous look!   You will be in awe as you explore her fully and try to take in the utter beauty you see before you!  There is one healed nick to a termination, but she is otherwise pristine and truly an altar cluster beyond measure!

The quartz coming from Russia simply fascinates me.  Mining is only possible for a few months a year, so it takes a lot of effort to extract these beauties.  Further, while in the earth, each endures some of the most extreme weather on the planet.  Like an angel’s kiss at dawn’s first light, she glows from an energy deep within.  Amethyst is generally considered a crown Chakra stone, and yet she seems so well suited for the heart – her energies remind me for the world like a rose quartz, and yet, sweeter and more melodic.  She is Lemurian (and not a Sacred Scribe Russian Lemurian) and as a result is able to transmit remarkable empathy and compassion to her Keeper.  She reminds her Keeper of the beauty we all keep inside, sometimes expressed and sometimes not.  When we express what is in our hearts, there is no greater beauty in the word!  She would make a stunning altar cluster to fill a room with love and compassion!

Huge, Rare Frosty Russian Amethyst Cluster with Golden Druse

This is a 3.5 lb single crystal of light smoky quartz from Halo, Brazil.  She has a frosted and “Old Soul” look to her with a deep key with albite inset to her back.  Her contact areas are healed and a bit golden healer stained and her sides are well-castled.  Her front has a dusting of mauve-colored mica near the base and a white frosting underneath.  The sides are very well glyphed, as are her faces, but what is really, really cool is the fact that the entire crystal looks like it was dipped in rose quartz, like a glazing, and has formed a ridge of rose along the edge of her terminal faces.  A stunning and beautifully colored rosette of rose quartz is to one side. (My apologies as larger crystals are very difficult to photograph, so if you want to see anything more up close, let me know and I’ll have another go at taking pictures.) There is a serene movement of crystalline expression across the expanse of her soft grayness that captures her being.  You will not believe how precious she is or how loving and exquisite she is in her detail.  She has two dings that are in the very early stages of healing and do not compromise her in the least. 

Many crystals have angelic energies and truly, when you see her, you’ll know that she is angelic expression personified.  As you hold her, you immediately feel engulfed in a cloud of fragrant, sweet, rose unconditional love!  She is everything warm and wonderful who loves you just for you – like a puppy who follows you around with sheer adoration on his face.  But her message is much, much deeper, fostering introspection.  True love begins with love of self.  If you do not truly, unconditionally love yourself and who you are, then change is necessary to make it so.  Once you reach that level, only then can you love someone else and they love you.  It sounds harsh, but it’s not really.  If you are happy with who you are, then you radiate that happiness; beauty exudes from every pore and you glow with an energy and enthusiasm that is beyond measure.  People perceive you differently and react differently.  If you look at the truly beautiful people, their beauty comes from somewhere deep inside – they may not be that physically attractive, but their happiness makes them glow.  Now, her smoky scepters remind her Keeper that knowing and loving Self is true inner power – true power and not corrupt power (like that associated with accumulations of things and prestige).  She reminds us that we ALL take some dings in daily life and yet, if we shake them off, there is still a beautiful expression that pervades.  Work with this Angelic Spirit and allow her to help you achieve that level of love!

Ancient Smoky Quartz with Crystalline Rose Quartz Glaze

This is a highly unusual and fascinating large, crystal cluster from Brazil, 1 lb 14 oz, 4.5” by 3.9” by 3.4” and is a perfect size for your special altar space.  She is three larger crystals with smaller students tucked between them.  Lovely, sable-toned rutile can be seen with a loupe as it’s very thin and hair-like … and blades of rutile are evident in her flat base. One student shows squiggles of toast and green chlorite … not a lot, but enough to make them look as though they were floating in the crystal.  The real show is the red ‘fireflies’ … bits of colored mica that dance among the rutiles … plus some tiny quartz manifestors, carried on the rutile needles!  The loupe will come in handy to see the kind of bulls-eye patterns on the fireflies and those little manifestors.  And believe me, she is well-endowed with those fireflies!  Her sides feature an abundance of starbrary glyphs!  One of her faces is polished and she is nothing short of breathtakingly beautiful!   She has teeny-tiny dings, but nothing of significance at all.

This Spirit really opens up the Third Eye in spiral, pulsing waves.  The brookite energies of Chakra activation are boosted by the rutile by an order of magnitude … I was astounded by the degree!  I like using her by holding with both hands, staring into her beauty.  Wet her with a little rainwater to allow her crystalline musk to rise to enhance the effect.  Now, close your eyes and your mind literally zooms outward and upward – kind of a weightless feeling that you will get used to as you work with her.  Focus on an issue of importance to you in the Now and she will help you bring information forward critical to the analysis and resolution.  You can fully understand why she would be important to Shamans and why such a crystal would be restricted in use to only one with a pure heart and even purer intentions.  She is a serious crystal for a Light Worker on a Shaman’s path.
