This is a very unique 1.5 oz, 2.15” by 1.2” by 1” DT Athena quartz from Diamantina, Brazil. She looks smoky but she is a clear quartz utterly filed with black tourmaline. From the side, she looks like a little tug boat with a tilted “stack” Thea is actually a thick crystal of black tourmaline. The little crystals that adorn both terminations add the the effect of water moving beneath her. And if the tugboat resemblance isn’t enough, thick crystal of black tourmaline really resembles the Devil’s tower! While you work with her, all this tourmaline seems to act as a guide for the energy moving through so that it radiates outward in all directions. She is truly excellent!
This is a stunning Athena quartz, named for the Greek goddess, Athena, who was supposed to have carried an owl on her shoulders when she talked to people so that both the spoken and unspoken could be heard, thereby seeing both sides to the truth. There are few better stones than tourmaline for dispelling negativity and quartz is a frequent companion of tourmaline. Both quartz and tourmaline are piezoelectric which means that they conduct electricity when put under pressure. That pressure can come from the energies that you impart during a crystal healing or Reiki treatment or meditation and amplify the intent, dissolving fear, promoting self worth and banishing a fatalist attitude. Ancient lore has held that tourmaline is a kind of “truth serum”, thus its critical inclusion in Athena quartz. Its energies are so cleansing and refreshing that it is difficult to hide the truth, especially from your Self. This all makes it much easier to make difficult decisions and shift consciousness in a positive manner. The double terminated nature of this Spirit represents the dual nature of the Self - what you are at the core and what you project to others, is often different things. This is an incredible Spirit for seeking and finding your own truth, and the balance in that truth, so crucial to your Spiritual journey.
