 CRYSTAL ABUNDANCE

In this companion volume to The Crystal Bible, you will find more than 200 crystals and combination
stones not detailed in the first volume, plus a few crystals into which there has been greater exploration.
This additional volume has become necessary because of the abundance of crystals on the market. Most
have high vibrations that bring about spiritual alchemy and multi-dimensional healing. Some are higher
resonances of existing stones – Greenlandite of Aventurine and Spectrolite of Labradorite, for instance –
and take the energy of the existing stones to a new level. Other stones have been used for millennia but
are finally more accessible – Russia is now sending crystals to the West, as is China, and the Himalayas
have also revealed their bounty. Though far from accessible, the incredibly ancient rocks of Greenland
revealed by receding ice are also offering up remarkable stones.
Not only are new sources of stones opening up, but the internet and online auction sites now make it
possible to obtain a stone from anywhere in the world almost instantly. While online descriptions of
stones – especially of their size – should be checked carefully before making a purchase, some excellent
crystals can be obtained this way and the fun of bidding makes the process more special: success
indicates that a stone is truly meant for you.
When buying stones, try to remember that biggest is not necessarily best, nor does the most beautiful
stone equate to the most potent. It also is not necessary to obtain a faceted stone. Although faceted
stones make beautiful jewellery and are a delight to wear, raw rock can be as powerful, depending on
what you want to do with the stone. Try to make ‘fit for purpose’ your criteria when buying – and consider
the energy of each particular stone. When your heart feels the energy, you choose wisely.
The Crystal Directory describes how stones work spiritually, karmically, environmentally,
psychologically, mentally, emotionally and physically, so that you can choose exactly the right stone for
your needs. Indicating where to position the stone for maximum impact and healing, the Directory helps
you to combine and place stones to enhance energy, protect your space, open chakras and subtle-
energy meridians, and journey safely into the multi-and inter-dimensional worlds that enfold us. All
crystals need cleansing and activating before use and at the back of this book you will find an essential
Quick Reference section to get you started, including a chakra guide.

CRYSTAL VIBRATIONS

No one knows how or why humans first came to use crystals, but there is evidence that they have
been doing so for thousands of years. Amazing crystals are still making themselves known to us, and
all but a few have their origin deep within the earth. The exceptions are the result of ‘supernatural’
events, such as Fulgarite, born from lightning-struck sand. The resulting crystals seemed like gifts
from the gods and how highly they were prized is illustrated by the use of Libyan Gold in the funerary
ornaments of Tutankhamun.
Miniature storehouses, born as the earth solidified, crystals record the development of the earth
over millions of years. They metamorphosed as the planet itself changed – we might think of them as
the earth’s DNA or a mineral blueprint of evolution. Whatever form they take, the crystalline structure
of these stones absorbs, conserves, focuses and emits energy, especially on the electromagnetic
waveband. And because crystals are such efficient energy-enhancers and space-clearers, by gridding
them you can create a safe space to live, love, work and play.

21
 CRYSTAL HISTORY
You may think that crystals are a New Age fad, but they are actually one of the oldest forms of healing
and have always been used for protection. Flint in the form of a pebble or a polished axe has been found
in many Neolithic graves and crystals were sacred across the ancient world. Specularite, for example,
was mined in Africa from 40,000 BCE for cosmetic and ritual purposes, symbolizing the blood of the earth,
and was sprinkled on the bodies of the dead for thousands of years. According to an ancient medical
text, in Iraq 5,500 years ago Lapis Lazuli and Jasper were laid around a living person to cure their ills and
Bloodstone was used for diseases of the blood, exactly as today. In Egypt in 1900 BCE, Lapis Lazuli,
Jasper, Carnelian and Turquoise were placed around the necks of newborn babies to protect them.

Crystals are an integral part of mythology. Wearing Lapis Lazuli jewellery, the Sumerian goddess
Inanna (a forerunner of Aphrodite and Venus) journeyed into the underworld carrying her Lapis Lazuli
rods that measured time and the length of a person’s life. It was believed that crystals were the flesh of
the gods and that the gods were crystal beings. The Libyan Gold Tecktite, Blood of Isis, Lapis Lazuli and
Turquoise in Tutankhamun’s funerary jewellery were not just for decoration: they protected and conveyed
his soul to the next world. A journey of over 800 arid kilometres (500 miles) had been undertaken to
obtain Libyan Gold for the scarab in his pectoral, which depicted the daily voyage of the sun and the
moon boat through the sky.

22
 In India, astrological remedial gems have been used for thousands of years and, just as in Egypt,
mythology tells that a pair of celestial serpents fought and their perspiration fell to earth as gemstones. In
China too, crystals belonged to the realm of the gods and in both China and Japan it was thought that
gems rained down from a lapidary sky. Many cultures envisaged a series of crystal domes surrounding
the sky around which the planets rotated and stars held their place. Indigenous Australians took the view

23
that fossils and gems came from the Dreamtime, an idyllic period rather like the time of the Garden of
Eden. Norwegian Vikings erected a chapel on the Isle of Man floored with Quartz, with a Quartz reliquary
box, possibly to intensify the vigour of the holy bones within it. Quartz had been used for thousands of
years to amplify energy and construct stone circles. The builders of Stonehenge, in the English county of
Wiltshire, laboriously transported Preseli Bluestone 400 kilometres (250 miles) to the centre of their
sacred healing circle.

BIBLICAL CRYSTALS
In Ezekiel 28:12–14, the prophet Ezekiel addresses the King of Tyre, saying to him:

Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the
diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the
workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so; thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast
walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

This nostalgic picture of a king adorned with crystals walking among stones of fire in the Garden of
Eden is in the Old Testament, a book revered by three world faiths. Throughout both the Old Testament
and the New Testament there are numerous references to crystals. According to the Revelation of St
John the Divine, the New Jerusalem will be built upon a crystal foundation, which in turn rests on an
essential piece of priestly apparel – the Breastplate of the High Priest, an item adorned with gems. In
Exodus 28: 17–20 the breastplate is described as follows:

And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a
carbuncle: this shall be the first row.

And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

24
 Translation problems make it impossible to know exactly which stones were used in the breastplate –
different versions of the Bible cite different ones. Sapphire, for instance, was unknown in that part of the
ancient world, so ‘sapphire’ refers to Lapis Lazuli, which itself was brought all the way from what is
present-day Afghanistan. ‘Sardius’ is Sardonyx, but ‘carbuncle’ may be Garnet or Carnelian, ‘emerald’
may be Green Aventurine and ‘diamond’ could be Clear Quartz. Contrary to popular opinion, the stones
of the breastplate could not have been the source of the birthstones we know today.

Onyx was mounted on the breastplate’s shoulders and this stone often has markings that are said to
resemble heavenly writing. Josephus, a Roman historian writing some 1,500 years after the Exodus,
gives in Jewish Antiquities a description of the use of the breastplate as an oracle:

For as to those stones that the high priest bore on his shoulders, which were sardonyxes (and I think it needless to
describe their nature, they being known to everybody), the one of them shined out when God was present at their
sacrifices… bright rays darting out thence, and being seen even by those that were most remote; which splendour
yet was not before natural to the stone.

25
 Although Josephus is not the most reliable witness, it is interesting that he assumes everyone is
familiar with the nature of a Sardonyx.
To return to Ezekiel, the prophet saw many wondrous things and gave vivid descriptions of his
visionary experiences. Ezekiel 1: 4–28 illustrates how his call to prophesy was filled with crystal imagery:

And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness
was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber [also translated as ‘awesome crystal’], out of the
midst of the fire…

Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth, by the living creatures, with his four faces.

The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl…

And the likeness of the firmament [dome] upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible
crystal…

And above the firmament [dome] that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a
sapphire stone…

As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round
about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

This describes the famous ‘chariot of fire’ that so many people today interpret as a spaceship coming
down to land. So, for Ezekiel, there was nothing ungodly about crystals, they were an integral part of his
divine world.

26
 CRYSTAL STRUCTURE
The internal structure of any crystalline formation is constant and unchanging. It is this inner structure,
rather than the minerals from which a crystal is formed, that is crucial to crystal classification, and each
family of crystals has its own specific identity due to chemical impurities, radiation, earth and solar
emissions and the exact means of their formation. In some cases, the mineral content differs slightly,
creating the various colours. While a number of crystals may be formed out of the same mineral or
combination of minerals, each type crystallizes out differently and the shapes affect the way in which
energy is focused.

THE EARTH’S CRUST

The earth began as a whirling gas cloud of cosmic debris containing the raw materials for crystals. This
contracted into a molten ball that was white-hot. Over millions of years this molten magma cooled into a
thin crust – the earth’s mantle – that is relatively about as thick as the skin on an apple. Inside the mantle,
mineral-laden molten magma continues to boil, cool and bubble and new crystals form. Some, such as
Quartz, form from the fiery gases and molten minerals in the magma. Superhot, they are propelled
upwards by the movement of tectonic plates on the earth’s surface. As gases penetrate the crust and
meet solid rock, they cool and solidify – a process that may take eons of time or be fast and furious.
Large crystals grow if the process has been relatively slow or if the crystal forms in a gas bubble. Faster
processes create small crystals. Stopping and starting the growth process creates effects such as
phantom or self-healed crystals. If the process is exceptionally fast, a glass-like amorphous crystal is
formed.
Other crystals are formed when minerals melt and re-crystallize under intense pressure and enormous
heat. These crystals, known as metamorphic, undergo a chemical change that reorganizes the original
lattice. Calcite and other sedimentary crystals form from a secondary process when rocks at the surface
weather and mineralized water drips through rock, or travels along a river laying down eroded material as
new crystals or the minerals become cemented together. Other crystals form from evaporation – these
crystals are laid down in layers and are softer in texture. Crystals are often found attached to or
embedded within the bedrock, known as the matrix.

27
 CRYSTAL PROTECTION
Crystals subtly affect all the levels of your being and the space in which you live and work. Symptoms
labelled as illness may, in fact, be signs of dis-ease, blocked creativity or emotional angst – the final
manifestation of spiritual, environmental, psychological, karmic, emotional or mental imbalance or
distress. Healing means bringing your mind, body and spirit back into harmony, and facilitating evolution
for the soul. This does not imply a cure, particularly in cases where the soul is evolving through an –
outwardly negative – experience, but crystals adjust how you perceive that learning, support optimum
well-being and accelerate insight and spiritual growth.

CRYSTALS SPEAK
So how do we know what crystals do? Well, it’s simple. They tell us. The ancients thought that stones
were alive but only took a breath every one or two hundred years, and many cultures believed that they
were incarnations of the divine. Crystal healers agree that these wonderful gifts from Mother Earth are
living beings and see them as incredibly old and wise. Treat your crystals like friends. Talk to your
stones, hold them, meditate quietly, invite them to assist and ask how they wish to work. You may be
surprised by how easy it is to communicate with them and how much more effective energy-work is when
the language of crystals takes on a whole new meaning. Talking to crystals is particularly useful with the
newer, high-vibration stones because each one is individual and not every crystal will resonate with
everyone. Communicating with them will tell you which one is right for you.
The first thing a crystal communicates is that it is an efficient tool for energy-enhancement, healing
and spiritual growth, but each crystal works uniquely according to your individual vibration and needs. Do
not limit your crystal by assuming that it only does certain things. All possibilities are open, and the more
you attune to and harmonize with crystals, the more they will delight – and surprise.

HIGH-VIBRATION CRYSTALS
Many new crystals have an exceedingly high vibration that brings about multi-dimensional healing and

28
spiritual alchemy – if your vibrations harmonize. These crystals may take some getting used to since they
emphasize that you must do your own healing and evolutionary work in this dimension before moving
onto a higher vibratory level – which is then expressed on the physical plane. As with most crystals, they
act as a mirror of your inner energies, which may come as something of a shock if you have
unacknowledged qualities within. Although they assist in embodying your highest being and manifesting
your core spiritual identity – love – in matter, crystals are not a short-cut to bliss or ascension. However,
they do facilitate that shift when appropriate and ground it.

To see if a high-vibration crystal will resonate with you, hold it gently and sit quietly. Your body may
vibrate as it attunes to the crystal or you may be instantly transported to another energetic dimension,
which means this crystal will work with you. If this does not happen, choose another crystal and try again
later when your vibrations have shifted. Most high-vibration stones work slowly to bring about physical
change, if indeed they affect the physical body, because they act on the subtle levels of being first. If a
high-dimension stone provokes a healing crisis or catharsis, remove it and hold a Smoky or Chlorite
Quartz between your feet to stabilize your energies.

POWER STONES
Crystals such as Smoky Elestial Quartz, Quantum Quattro or any of the red Quartzes re-empower you if
your physical or psychological energy has become depleted or drained. Pink stones assist with emotional

29
empowerment as do many specific stones (see the Crystal Directory). White or Amethyst Elestial Quartz,
Selenite and other high-vibration stones empower at a spiritual level, and these stones are particularly
effective in a sceptre formation (see Orange River Quartz).
To empower yourself with these stones, simply relax and hold the appropriate crystal for 10–15
minutes. Breathe gently, let your eyes go out of focus and be open to an in-flooding of energy as you ask
that the stone restores your power. You can also empower yourself by wearing a Activating your Crystal.

BORROWING VIRTUE
Most stones work exceedingly well if they are small, especially the high-vibration crystals, but
occasionally the power surge of a large stone is required to bring about a particular effect. If you need the
energy of a huge crystal but cannot afford one, or it has to be portable, ‘borrow virtue’ by placing a
smaller stone on top of the large one and leave the two to attune to each other for 15 minutes or so. The
small stone will draw on the energy of the large to do its work, no matter how distant they are from each
other. When cleansing the small stone (see Awakening Crystals), ask that the cleansing also works on
the larger one.

ENERGY ENHANCEMENT AND SPACE CLEARING

Energy depletion occurs when your environment is affected by geopathic stress or electromagnetic
smog. Placing crystals around a room or in the environment neutralizes and cleanses negative energies,
making the space safe and sacred, energetically balanced and purified. A space can also be ‘polluted’ by
negative emotions emanating from those within it. Hang a large Chlorite Phantom or Smoky Elestial point
down in the lavatory cistern to energetically cleanse the whole house. You can also place crystals to
draw more love or abundance into your life or to enhance an existing loving relationship or family life.
After environmental factors, the most common cause of personal energy depletion is family, friends
and clients. Needy people ‘hook’ into the subtle bodies or physical organs to gain the nourishment they
crave – they are psychic vampires – and thoughts may be sent to control what you do. If your energy is
high, your chakras aligned and your auric protection strong, it is much more difficult for negative
energies, psychic vampirization or controlling thoughts to affect you. The simplest way to raise your
vibration is to wear an appropriate crystal – remember to cleanse and activate it before use and to purify
it regularly (see Awakening Crystals). The best way to establish which crystal to wear is to dowse for it
(see Finger Dowse) or simply choose one to which you feel strongly attracted.

30
SPLEEN PROTECTION
Using a combination of crystals and the power of your mind helps to cut off energy vampirization. If you
feel tired in someone’s company or when they phone, or have an ache beneath your left armpit, tape a
spleen-protection stone such as Greenlandite or Gaspeite about a hand’s breadth under your left armpit.
Visualize a large, three-dimensional pyramid going down to your waist at your back and front to protect
your spleen (make sure the pyramid has a floor). To re-empower yourself, replace the stone with
Quantum Quattro or another power stone. A similar stone-and-pyramid set-up can protect your liver from
other people’s anger and your solar plexus from those desperate for emotional nourishment. Place the
stone a hand’s breadth under the left armpit for emotional nourishment, and a hand’s breadth under the
right for the liver and anger.

SAFE SPACE
Crystals can hold the space while you leave your body and travel the dimensions or go deep within
yourself, and they make your living or working environment a much nicer place. Holding the space in any
kind of gathering dramatically alters and enhances the dynamics and is essential if you are to work safely
spiritually. However, you need to be grounded in your body to create and hold safe space. If ungrounded,
you are open to subtle invasion. Fortunately gridding with crystals both grounds and guards your physical
body and facilitates your movement into multi-or inner-dimensions. Large Smoky Elestials are the perfect

31
stones for creating safe space, but large raw Labradorite works equally well. To protect your space from
environmental pollution, large Amazonite or Black Tourmaline are favourites, but Greenlandite or Poppy
Jasper work well too, as do Elestials. A basic triangle of Bronzite with a reversed triangle of Black
Tourmaline over the top prevents ill-wishing or other negative energy from bouncing back and forth (see
Star of David).

Gridding three stones in a triangle or six in a Star of David cleanses, protects and energizes your
space, and other layouts are also possible (see Triangulation). Sick building syndrome, for instance,
needs the powerful energy generated by a zig-zag pattern. It is worth experimenting with the energetic
effect of various stones and shapes, then add a high-vibration or grounding crystal and feel the
difference.

GRIDDING
Gridding is the art of placing stones to create an energetic net to protect and energize space. The easiest
way to grid a room or other space is to place a crystal in each corner since this creates an energy grid
across the whole room. However, you can grid a room with whichever pattern feels right at the time.
Dowsing establishes the exact placement for crystals when gridding – join the crystals with a wand or
long-point crystal, such as a Lemurian, to set the grid. Wands are the traditional tools of shamans,
healers and metaphysicians. The magic wands of myth and legend are believed to have been used by
crystal healers in the ancient civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria. Wands have the ability to focus energy
tightly through their tip, and the healing ability of wands is vastly expanded when dedicated with intent
(see Awakening Crystals). When using a wand, it is important to consciously allow universal healing
energy to flow in through your crown chakra and down your arm to the hand holding the wand, and then
into the wand where it is amplified and passed on (using your own energy for this purpose is inefficient as
this makes you weak and depleted and in need of healing). Remember to cleanse and activate crystals
before use, setting out your intention clearly (see Awakening Crystals).

32
 When gridding, the lines of force may have to pass through walls and solid objects. Use either the
power of your mind or a crystal wand to connect the points: take it up to the point on the wall, watch it
pass through the wall and then walk around to the other side to recommence the line. See also the one-
way portal.

TRIANGULATION
You will need:
• 3 cleansed and activated crystals
• Crystal wand

Triangulation gridding works well to neutralize negative energy and bring in positive energy.
Place one crystal centrally along a wall and two others on the wall opposite at an equal angle if
possible. If working on a whole house, the lines of force pass through walls, so connect the points with a
wand to strengthen the grid.

ZIG-ZAG
You will need:
• 8 cleansed and activated crystals
• Crystal wand

The zig-zag layout is particularly useful for dealing with sick building syndrome and environmental

33
pollution. Place appropriate crystals as shown on the diagram, remembering to return from the last stone
laid to the first. Cleanse the stones regularly.

FIVE-POINTED STAR
You will need:
• 5 cleansed and activated stones
• Crystal wand

This is a useful protection layout or caller-in of love and healing and it enhances your energy. Follow the
direction of the arrows on the diagram when placing crystals and remember to return to the start crystal
to complete the circuit. Like the Star of David, this layout can be used to grid around a body and also for
a room or other space.

FIGURE OF EIGHT
You will need:
• 5 cleansed and activated high-vibration stones
• 5 cleansed and activated grounding stones

This layout draws spiritual energy down into the body and melds it with earth energy drawn up from the
feet to create perfect balance. It also opens a cosmic anchor to ground you between the core of the earth

34
and the galactic centre, creating core-energy solidity that equips you to ride out energetic changes and
channel high-vibration energy down to earth. Place high-vibration stones, such as Amphibole,
Cacoxenite, Blue Moonstone, above the waist to the crown of the head, and grounding stones, such as
Poppy Jasper, Agate, Septarian, below the waist, down to the feet. Remember to complete the circuit
back to the first stone placed.

STAR OF DAVID
You will need:
• 6 cleansed and activated crystals
• Crystal wand

The Star of David is a traditional protection layout but also creates an ideal manifestation space when
laid with large Grossular Garnet, Ammolite or other abundance stones. Lay the first triangle and join up
the points, then lay another triangle the other way up, over the top. Join up the points. (If using Bronzite
and Black Tourmaline to neutralize ill-wishing, lay the Bronzite triangle first and cleanse the star daily.)

 THE GREENLAND STONES
Exciting new stones on the market today come from mysterious Greenland, source of the most ancient
rocks on earth. The world’s largest island, Greenland is a land of contrasts: hot thermal springs and ice-
cold glaciers; towering mountains and deep fjords. Home to the fascinating aurora borealis (the northern
lights) and the midnight sun, this is a place of spectacular nature and extremes, from deafening silence to
a winter of perpetual darkness. This remote country was inhabited over 5,000 years ago by Inuit people
from Canada, and the Vikings under Erik the Red reached Greenland in fragile boats over 1,000 years
ago.
Dangerous exploration continues in Greenland to this day. One intrepid miner describes edging up a
treacherous path on a cliff high above a fjord to reach stones that he has to carry gingerly down the
mountain in a backpack. The path is so narrow he cannot get his high-tech mining gear up and has to
pick the stones out of the beds by hand. Another miner has to helicopter his stones out as there is no
road. Not surprisingly, the supply of stones such as Tugtupite, Ussingite and Nuummite is limited,
although some of these stones are found in other countries, too. Greenland gems such as Greenlandite,
Hackmanite and Fiskenaesset Ruby are exquisite, many having high vibrations that quietly facilitate
spiritual evolution, returning us to oneness and a gentle energy that teaches us to respect and honour the
earth and everything in and upon it. Out of the ancient past comes hope for humanity’s future.
Most of the Greenland stones are fluorescent, which means that under energetic activation, such as
from the sun or ultra-violet rays, they emit electromagnetic radiation that we perceive as coloured light –
a truly magical experience. Fluorescence is the result of a shift to a higher energetic state within the
stone, so it is not surprising that these stones are particularly effective energy healers. Other Greenland
stones are tenebrescent, changing colour in heat or daylight. To shamans, such stones have an aura
around them, which may be why they were sacred to ancient people.

CRYSTAL DIRECTORY

It is important to identify crystals accurately and the stones are, where possible, shown both raw and
polished or faceted. Rather than picturing exquisitely beautiful crystals, we have shown what you will
find in a shop. Identification of stones is complicated because some old stones have new names or the
same stone might have different names. Cathedral Quartz, for instance, is now known as Lightbrary
and Atlantis Stone, a name also applied to at least three other crystals. Some new Quartzes are
particularly difficult to tell apart. Although their appearance varies only slightly, their energy is hugely
different. ‘Shift Crystals’ from Brazil look and feel like Himalayan Growth Interference (also named
Nirvana Quartz and Ice Quartz) and Glacial Etched Quartz (also known as Ice Quartz) is similar, while
the term ‘Celestial Quartz’ is applied to two distinctly different stones.
This Directory helps you to navigate your way to exactly the right stone (the contents are listed in
Crystal Reference at the front of the book). If you can’t find specific combination stones, use two
crystals together and ask their energy to synergize.

APPEARANCE Closely banded opaque stone

RARITY Easily obtained

SOURCE Botswana, United States, Morocco, Czech Republic, Brazil, South Africa

ATTRIBUTES Banded Agates stimulate the crown chakra, bringing celestial and earth energy into the
subtle bodies and harmonizing them with the physical body. A powerful holistic healer, Banded Agates
remove dualities and conflict, maintaining well-being. This crystal is extremely effective for multi-
dimensional healing and soul-work, the bands across its surface taking you travelling into another reality,
different streams of consciousness or other lives.
A useful environmental healer when gridded around a house, Banded Agate prevents out-of-body
visitations from another soul and turns back unwelcome spirits. Traditionally, Banded Agate has been
used to overcome physical, emotional and mental poisoning or toxicity and is a useful receptacle for
negative energy.
Placed on the third eye, Banded Agate quickly cuts mental cords to a guru, a partner from a past life or
a parent who manipulates an earlier childhood connection to retain control in the present, replenishing
the energy lost in such situations. It is particularly useful where someone is being ‘prayed for’, whether by
a priest or cult-leader, to bring that person ‘back to the fold’ – or under control once again – since this
stone returns the compulsive energy back to its source and leaves the person free to live life as he or she
wishes.
Psychologically, Banded Agate teaches that sexuality is a natural function and that sensuality is the
appreciation by the senses of the fullness of life. It releases emotional repression and encourages artistic
expression. Useful for people who are easily hurt, this stone teaches users to look for solutions rather
than dwell on problems and shuts off obsessive thoughts and destructive mental patterns. Giving the
broader picture, it encourages you to explore unknown territory and creativity while at the same time
paying appropriate attention to detail.
Emotionally, this stone can be programmed (see Awakening Crystals) to protect you and your family
and to encourage supportive love, which is objective and non-smothering.
Botswana Agate also assists anyone working with fire or smoke, and aids smokers who want to quit. It
is said to repel spiders.

fertility, the brain, oxygen-assimilation, the chest, skin and the circulatory and nervous systems. It is

 BLOOD OF ISIS

COLOUR Red

APPEARANCE Transparent crystal with ‘smoke’ effect

RARITY Rare and expensive

SOURCE Red Sea, Egypt

ATTRIBUTES Blood of Isis is gem-quality Carnelian, which was popular for protective amulets and
offerings to the gods not only in Egypt but also in Europe, Myanmar and Japan. It was almost certainly
one of the stones used in the Breastplate of the High Priest and attunes to Isis energy, the divine
feminine principle.
The goddess Isis was both a powerful priestess, with power over life and death, and the archetypal
devoted wife and mother. Each year in her honour, a great mystery was enacted in the temples: that of
birth, death and regeneration. Meditating or sleeping with this stone under your pillow invokes a profound
connection to the universal feminine and the goddess-within, and also helps remove the veils of Isis to
reach spiritual clarity and true sight.
The medieval lapidary of King Alphonso the Learned of Spain, translated from a much earlier Arab text
preserving very ancient knowledge, calls this the ‘stone of sleep’ and also attributes to it the quality of
emitting light. Said to impart a deep stupor, it was apparently used to dull pain, especially during surgery.
Spiritually, the stone assists in re-membering the lost and forgotten parts of your self, especially the
opposite gender to the body you now inhabit. It facilitates making an inner marriage, uniting your
masculine and feminine qualities, and is helpful for men who have lost touch with the creative,
empowered feminine part of their psyche.
Psychologically, Blood of Isis is an excellent stone to foster forgiveness. The ancient Egyptians wore
Carnelian to calm anger, jealousy, envy and other negative symptoms. The goddess Isis forgave her
sister for stealing her husband, and her brother-in-law for killing him. She knew the depths of grief and
the stone also assists with grief work, ameliorating loss and bringing acceptance of the cycles of life.
Physically, this stone is helpful at menopause for a woman who mourns the loss of her fertility and for
‘empty nest syndrome’, attuning her to a new purpose – becoming a truly wise woman.

HEALING Traditionally used for healing blood and the organs of fertility: said to help with PMS, infertility
and menopausal symptoms.

POSITION Wear or position as appropriate.

yang energies, leading to optimum well-being.

SOURCE Russia

ATTRIBUTES A refined, high-vibrational stone, colour-infused Blue Moonstone is an activation stone par
excellence, having a powerful effect on unawakened potential and creating a gateway to exceedingly
high levels of consciousness and multi-dimensions. This stone creates a subtle geometric merkaba-
shaped energetic pathway in the physical brain, linking the alta-major (past-life) chakras with the
hypothalamus, hippocampus, pineal and pituitary glands, and the third eye and soma chakras. This
opens a higher-dimensional space within the brain, anchored to the thymus and higher heart chakra so
that it manifests within the physical world. Blue Moonstone attunes the metabolism to assimilate the
minerals and nutrients that the activated lightbody requires to function on the earth plane.
Spiritually, Blue Moonstone enables you to have a foot in both worlds – physical and spiritual – being
‘here’ and ‘there’ at the same time with no duality or conflict and complete clarity of awareness. It also
activates a cosmic anchor. On the soma chakra, it brings ideas into manifestation by first creating an
energy structure.

HEALING Placing Blue Moonstone on the neck where the spinal column meets the skull has the same
effect as a craniosacral treatment, releasing muscle tension and bringing subtle energies, blood vessels
and nerves passing through this area into more perfect function.

Rainbow Moonstone carries the vibration of cosmic light and offers spiritual healing for the whole of
humanity. Taking you on inter- and multi-dimensional journeys, it reminds you that you are part of an

you to see the unseen, intuitively read symbols and synchronicities, and opening you to spiritual gifts,

65
Rainbow Moonstone may leave sensitive people feeling psychically or emotionally overwhelmed,
although it provides insight in appropriate circumstances. This stone is powerfully attuned to the cycles
and phases of the moon and may need removing at full moon. Rainbow Moonstone is beneficial for the

intuitive process. Spiritually, by assisting with visualization and creating your own reality, Bornite fosters
concern about all beings on the planet, advocating social justice and equality for all.

Bornite teaches how to negotiate obstacles with ease and encourages finding happiness in the present
moment. This stone assists in dealing with traumatic situations and identifying the lessons behind them.
Integrating mind, body, emotions and soul, Bornite filters out what is no longer relevant and assists in
moving on.
Mentally, Bornite identifies the source of detrimental thoughts so that they are eliminated. An effective
tool during any kind of rebirthing work, this stone can be programmed (see Awakening Crystals) to send
or receive healing from a distance – in which case it should be carried or worn over the thymus.

HEALING Assists with regeneration, cellular memory, cellular structures, metabolic imbalances, over-
acidity, assimilation of potassium and swelling. It dissolves calcified deposits and calms spasm.

POSITION Hold, grid or place as appropriate; wear set in silver.

COMBINATION STONE
Bornite on Silver reinforces the silver cord that connects the subtle bodies to the physical, ensuring safe
return during journeying. Silver is a stabilizing metal that strengthens the qualities of the stone to which it
is attached and focuses its energy appropriately. Silver is a feminine, moon-attuned metal and,
heightening perception and intuition, this combination acts as a reflective mirror for mystic visions,
scrying or inspiration. It assists with accessing and reframing the source of third-eye blockages,
especially where these have been deliberately induced in the past. Emotionally, Bornite on Silver
enhances mothering oneself and the nurturing process, and heightens platonic or romantic love.
Physically, this combination facilitates the reprogramming of cellular memory, supports the cellular
structures in the body, the assimilation of potassium and metabolic imbalances. It assists in dissolving
calcified deposits and swelling.

 BRAZILIANITE

COLOUR Yellow-green

APPEARANCE Transparent, slightly ribbed

RARITY Rare

SOURCE Brazil

ATTRIBUTES Brazilianite has a zingy, high-energy vibration that empowers the spiritual will and assists
manifestation. Said to connect to Atlantis, this highly creative stone spiritually opens metaphysical gifts
and shows how to achieve apparently supernatural feats that are within expanded human capabilities. If
you misused such energies in Atlantis, it cleanses the past and re-empowers your soul integrity.
Psychologically, if you have difficulty in establishing boundaries for yourself and others, Brazilianite
assists in knowing where you end and others begin, teaching how to say no and preventing psychic
intrusion into your space. It overcomes a victim or martyr mentality, especially if this has a past-life root,
teaching instead how to be a proud survivor. A stone of right action, Brazilianite assists in setting limits
and is particularly helpful in laying down rules for teenagers testing parental boundaries. Brazilianite also
assists if others push your boundaries inappropriately – and shows how to expand your boundaries if
these are too tight because of fear or previous abuse. It helps in taking responsibility for yourself,
standing on an edge and moving forward confidently knowing that you follow the rightness of your soul
path.
Emotionally, it assists in becoming aware of your vulnerabilities, especially if these have long been
denied. If emotions such as resentment have been holding you back, this stone transmutes them and
assists in forgiving yourself. Giving emotional strength, Brazilianite teaches how to find your core strength
rather than growing a carapace to cover vulnerability but leaving a black hole in your emotional centre.
Physically, Brazilianite assists energy flow and circulation within the body, clearing meridians and
removing excess heat.

HEALING Said to release pollutants such as heavy metals, supporting the kidneys and other excretory
organs.

 BRONZITE

COLOUR Brown and black

APPEARANCE Mottled stone

RARITY Easily obtained

SOURCE Germany, Finland, India, Sri Lanka, United States

ATTRIBUTES Bronzite facilitates simply ‘being’, entering a dynamic state of non-action and non-doing.
Spiritually, this is the perfect stone if you have difficulty in stilling yourself, since it brings total serenity.
Marketed as effective against curses and sold as a magical protector, Bronzite turns back negative
thoughts and ill-wishing. However, it returns ill-wishing, curses or spells back to the source considerably
magnified, perpetuating the problem as it ‘bounces’ backward and forward, becoming stronger each time,
and makes the ill-wisher feel extremely ill while the ‘recipient’ remains protected but aware of the
energetic disturbance. It is more effective to use Bronzite in combination with Black Tourmaline, as this
absorbs the ill-wishing, immediately stopping the interaction and taking attention away from the source.
Psychologically, this ‘stone of courtesy’ strengthens non-judgemental discernment, pinpoints your
most important choices and promotes decisive action. This protective, grounding crystal is helpful when
you feel powerless in discordant situations or are in the grip of events beyond your control. Holding
Bronzite increases self-assertion, restores composure and assists in keeping a cool head. With its
assistance, you can take an objective perspective and see the bigger picture. It is helpful for overcoming
stress and reversing wilfulness, teaching how to go with the flow of divine will. If you have become stuck
in any negative pattern, Bronzite releases it.
Physically, Bronzite is useful for supporting and balancing masculine yang energy within the body or
the psyche.

HEALING Helpful for chronic exhaustion, the assimilation of iron, cramp and nerves, and for removing
pain and over-alkalinity.

POSITION Hold, grid or place as appropriate. Use in a Star of David formation with Black Tourmaline to
turn back ill-wishing.

conscious dreaming and intuition, Bustamite enhances channelling and accesses the angelic realms. It is
said to lose its lustre in the presence of danger.

back from disharmonious experiences while remaining physically present, or facilitating your physical
absence from detrimental situations. This stone turns ideals and ideas into positive action.

cellular memory. Physically, this stone realigns the energy meridians of the physical and subtle bodies.

headaches and fluid retention, Bustamite supports the legs and feet, heart, skin, nails, hair, motor nerves,
muscle strength, spleen, lungs, prostate gland, sexual organs, endocrine and digestive systems, and

 CACOXENITE

COLOUR Yellowish-orange

APPEARANCE Radiated, feathery inclusion

RARITY Rare

SOURCE England, Sweden, France, Germany, Holland, United States

ATTRIBUTES Known as a stone of ascension, Cacoxenite heightens spiritual awareness. Spiritually, this
stone is used in meditation or past-life regression. It takes you to core soul memories that require healing
or integration before present-day spiritual evolution can occur. Included within Amethyst, Cacoxenite
activates the third eye and crown chakras, increasing receptivity to receive new ideas. This crystal
heightens the effect of full or new moon rituals.
Psychologically, it is helpful for overcoming fear and clearing stress. Harmonizing the personal will with
the Higher Self and accentuating the positive in all that you do, Cacoxenite assists in releasing inhibitions
and restrictions. If apparently insurmountable problems confront you, Cacoxenite creates a peaceful
space to withdraw into, encouraging you to see events in a positive light.
Environmentally, Cacoxenite assists with planetary re-alignment to stimulate the vibratory evolution of
the earth and can be gridded for earth healing.

 CALCITE FAIRY STONE

COLOUR Greyish-beige

APPEARANCE Smooth, rounded and flattened discs

RARITY Rare

SOURCE Canada

ATTRIBUTES Looking rather like little aliens, insects or ancient earth goddesses, these Calcite Fairy
figures are pseudomorphs created when calcite settled into glacial clay. If a Calcite Fairy Stone adopts
you, it acts as a ‘little helper’, taking care of details and providing a safe and nurturing space in which to
work both spiritually and practically.
Spiritually, Calcite Fairy Stones have a strong link to the nurturing energies of the Earth Mother and to
female power, and remind us that raising vibrations, or ascending, does not mean losing touch with the
necessities of the earth. This stone teaches care and concern for the planet and all those upon it at a
pragmatic rather than an idealistic level. It believes in getting things done in the most practical way
possible. It assists in channelling, but there is nothing airy-fairy about the information it offers – it is basic,
grounded and to the point. A useful stone for opening a shamanic anchor for lower-world journeys or the
earth portion of a cosmic anchor, it attaches you to the earth’s core so that you can ride out and ground
earth-energy changes, but it requires a higher-vibration stone, such as Stellar Beam Calcite, to reach the
galactic centre.
Psychologically, Calcite Fairy Stone assists in dismantling defensive walls you have built around old
hurts that lock you into old pain. In dissolving a ‘flight-or-fight’ reflex or conditioned reaction, it teaches
how to respond positively to each new situation.
Each stone has a unique energy according to its shape; meditate with it to learn how it wants to work
with you and the specific gifts it offers.

HEALING Excellent for arthritic pain and dissolving calcifications.

POSITION Hold or position as appropriate.

SOURCE
Romania

ATTRIBUTES Cobalto-calcite symbolizes unconditional love and forgiveness and is attuned to the pink
flame of pure, compassionate love. A stone of self-discovery, it connects heart with mind. If you are
uncertain where you need to go spiritually, gentle Cobalto-calcite helps you to find your innate talents and
life purpose.
Psychologically, this beautiful crystal helps to transfer ideas into action without forcing the pace. It
harmonizes the intellect and the emotions, bringing the two into balance. This compassionate stone is
effective for emotional healing and overcoming emotional blocks, loneliness, grief or a broken heart. It
calms intense feelings, assisting in loving yourself and others, and promotes a sense of feeling good
about your life. Encouraging emotional maturation, it sends out a profoundly nurturing energy that helps
you to mother yourself. It is extremely supportive for those who have chosen to carry pain for other
people or the planet, and for those who have given up hope. It also shows whether taking on other
people’s pain is appropriate, gently cutting the ties if it is not and promoting forgiveness on both sides.
For distance healing, programme Cobalto-calcite (see Awakening Crystals) to send pink light to
support someone in becoming all that they might be, then place the stone on a photograph of that
person, or programme it to heal dis-ease wherever it may be.

HEALING Works best at the emotional level of being, erasing scars and bringing more love into the
physical body.

 CALCITE: HEMATOID CALCITE

COLOUR Reddish yellow

APPEARANCE Large squares or planes of opaque crystal

RARITY Fairly easily obtained

SOURCE United States, Britain, Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Peru, Iceland, Romania

ATTRIBUTES Combining the stabilizing power of Hematite with the purifying energies of Calcite,
Hematoid Calcite is an excellent stone for grounding and assimilating influxes of energy – hold it or place
over the base chakra for five or ten minutes or until the energy stabilizes. Carry this powerfully protective
stone when you are in a strong energy field, particularly if the energies clash, as it quickly cleanses and
harmonizes the environment.
Psychologically, this stone is helpful for anyone who has become locked into a predator pattern,
stopping at nothing to get what they want and ignoring the needs and feelings of others; or for someone
who is the apparent victim of such a person, but who is, in reality, punishing themselves for their own
perceived guilt and inadequacy. Hematoid Calcite enables you to step forward to mutual cooperation.
Mentally, Hematoid Calcite is a supportive stone for the memory, so if you have ‘senior moments’ or
lose things or cannot remember birthdays or names, keep this stone with you. It ameliorates mental
confusion, restoring lucidity and structuring thought.
Physically, Hematoid Calcite instils vitality and supports self-healing, encouraging the body to mobilize
its natural defences.
Environmentally, Hematoid Calcite is helpful for gridding a workplace, particularly if this is a site of ego
conflict or manipulation. Hematite stabilizes the emotional field and Calcite pours soothing energy into the
environment, restoring peace and harmony.

HEALING Beneficial for the memory, blood cleansing, oxygenation and stress.

POSITION Hold, grid or place as appropriate.

 CALCITE: ICICLE CALCITE

COLOUR Whitish yellow and orange

APPEARANCE Long, finger-like, opaque bi-colour crystal

RARITY May need searching for

SOURCE United States, Britain, Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Peru, Iceland, Romania

ATTRIBUTES Icicle Calcite is a spiritual and pragmatic guidance crystal that fires creativity at all levels.
Spiritually, it is a powerful amplifier of energy with strongly purifying and cleansing properties that quickly
remove stagnant energies wherever they are located. The white portion of Icicle Calcite acts like a wand
to pull multi-dimensional dis-ease, disharmony, negativity or blockages from the physical or etheric body
and, once the crystal has been cleansed, the site can then be repaired and re-energized with the orange
portion, bringing the body back into balance on all levels.
Psychologically, Calcite connects the mind and the emotions and increases the ability to see things in
a new way. Icicle Calcite helps you to understand and clear the root causes of psychosomatic dis-ease or
ancestral-line DNA imbalances. It takes you back into past situations, reframes them and transmits
healing backward and forward down the ancestral line so that the problem does not arise in the present.
Emotionally, Icicle Calcite gently releases fear and alleviates emotional stress, replacing it with
serenity. It insists that you step forward into the future to live out your purpose with courage, conviction
and the certainty that you are following the path of your soul. Whenever you feel in need of support, hold
Icicle Calcite and request assistance.

HEALING Works etherically or physically to remove blockages and re-energize cells.

COLOUR Amber, yellow or whitish-yellow

APPEARANCE Clear, blade-like double-terminated crystal

RARITY Available from mineral suppliers and crystal shops

SOURCE Tennessee (United States)

ATTRIBUTES Named for its multi- and inter-dimensional properties and for its perceived ability to link to
spaceships and extra-terrestrials, the double terminations of Stellar Beam Calcite channel a dual beam of
powerful energy that lifts to an exceedingly high vibration and, on the soma or stellar gateway chakras,
facilitates travel across vast distances in time and space. It is excellent in the centre of the medicine
wheel.
Spiritually, on the third eye or crown chakra, this stone opens the higher crown and soul star chakras
and facilitates attunement to divine energy, higher guidance and elevated levels of consciousness.
Taking you directly into the heart of All That Is, it lights the way back and assists in remembering what
happens in outer or inner dimensions, accelerating spiritual growth. Stellar Beam Calcite takes you to the
galactic centre to anchor the upper end of a cosmic anchor, but requires a lower-vibration stone, such as
Calcite Fairy Stone, to anchor into the earth’s core.
Psychologically, it assists in breaking old patterns, including spiritual beliefs or pathways that no longer
serve your purpose, and moving forward on your soul path. It takes you to the ‘planning meeting’ in the
between-life state to ascertain your soul purpose and the life you were born to live and brings forward
wisdom and skills from the far past. It attunes to your soul group and the higher purpose of the group.
Emotionally, Stellar Beam Calcite helps you to immerse yourself in mutual love, desire and
tenderness. An amplifier and purifier of energy, this stone cleanses anything negative picked up during
spiritual journeying or healing work.

HEALING Works beyond the physical level of being to heal the soul, aligning and integrating energies
into subtle bodies and healing the etheric blueprint.

POSITION Hold or place as appropriate. Grid to encourage extra-terrestrial contact or to create sacred
space.

ADDITIONAL STONE
Starburst Dogstooth Calcite disperses blockages, connects you to the infinity of All That Is and takes
you travelling through past, present or future lives on earth or with the stars to map your overall soul
purpose. It can be used to stabilize brain patterns in epilepsy, ameliorate vertigo or tinnitus and restore

79
the etheric body following drug abuse or the side effects of prescription drugs.

SOURCE

ATTRIBUTES Epidote increases spiritual attunement and removes ingrained resistance to spiritual
awakening. Not everyone responds well to this stone, however, as it can have the opposite effect –
increasing negativity and bringing to the surface feelings and thought patterns that require considerable
effort to transform.
Psychologically, Epidote enhances perception. Offering you the courage to enjoy life to the full and the
ability to manifest dreams, it strengthens your sense of identity and personal power. This is the perfect

body, releasing grief and old emotional trauma. It keeps you centred no matter the situation you find
yourself in. Its detoxification effect may create a powerful release of negative energy from the subtle
bodies and physical body, sometimes experienced as a once-and-for-all catharsis, or abreaction (best
undertaken with a qualified crystal therapist), which clears the emotional blueprint and cellular memory.
Physically useful in convalescence, Epidote supports the body’s healing processes and ensures that
you look after yourself in the best way possible. It may well surface the underlying core causes of obesity
and so facilitate weight loss, but you may need the assistance of a qualified therapist or healer to work
through the issues.

relationship to end, Eudialyte assists in doing so with grace and peace rather than conflict.
Spiritually, if you feel angry at God, Eudialyte assists in exploring why, facilitating journeying to past
lives if necessary. A stone of purification and at-onement, it heals the split and reconciles you to the
divinity in yourself and aligns you to your true purpose.
Psychologically a stone of personal empowerment, Eudialyte chases away depression and
dissatisfaction, releasing negative emotions such as jealousy, anger, guilt, resentment and animosity.
Promoting self-forgiveness and healthy self-love, it expedites profound change, instils confidence and
assists in learning from apparent mistakes. This stone teaches that you cannot be well – or happy – if
your creativity is blocked or unexpressed. It assists in finding an outlet, treasuring your gifts.
Emotionally, drawing together soul-companions, it reveals the reason for the reunion. If you meet a
‘soulmate’ who does not want to know, or you are strongly attracted to someone but question whether a
sexual relationship is right or whether there is some other purpose to the meeting, meditating or sleeping
with Eudialyte reveals the answer – which may come about in an unexpected way.

and are not dependent on any external source, including a partner or loved one. However, passionate
Ruby also deepens true love and rekindles libido.

the dead to the next world, Flint calls guides and power allies. Protective, it turns back curses and ill-
wishing and is said to prevent nightmares.
Spiritually, Flint hones the spirit and cuts away all that is outworn and outgrown, slicing through
psychological blockages and problems and ties etherically linking people. At the chakras, it dissolves

etheric blueprint, physical or etheric bodies. With its stabilizing action, Flint brings structural integrity to
mental and physical bodies. Creating a shamanic anchor for journeys to re-member your soul, Flint

power. Perfect for rites of passage that mark the transitions of womanhood, it assists men in connecting
to their feminine qualities.

 FRONDELLITE

COLOUR Pinkish-bronze

APPEARANCE Ribbed and opalescent

RARITY Rare

SOURCE United States

ATTRIBUTES A form of Fuchsite mica, Frondellite is a powerful cleanser for psychic infections especially
those lodged in the third eye, removing negative energy, implants and power struggles that cross the
psychic airways from a different time and space and dissolving thoughts and ill-wishing from the present
day. However, the effect can be nauseous as a psychic detox takes place that may need other stones to
move it out of the physical body. Frondellite is best used with Strengite to transmute the process.
Psychologically, Frondellite is helpful for those with an obsessive fear of dirt and bacteria, taking you
back to uncover the cause and reframe the experience. In the process you may experience emotional
catharsis and replay very dark feelings and this is best done under the guidance of a past-life therapist.

cause of dis-ease or phobia to observe and detach without fully entering the experience. It cleanses the

 FULGARITE

COLOUR Sandy-beige, grey, yellowish

APPEARANCE Tiny grains cemented into a tube

RARITY Easily obtained

SOURCE United States, Sahara, Gobi Desert

ATTRIBUTES Fulgarite is formed when lightning hits sand – an event that tightly focuses an enormous
amount of energy into a tiny space. Despite its delicacy, Fulgarite has traditionally been a powerful
shamanic soul tool, as this stone holds high-frequency energy from the strike. When a shaman takes a
journey to retrieve lost child or soul parts, those parts are placed into Fulgarite for safe travel during the
return. Fulgarite is then placed over the heart chakras and the lost child or soul part is gently blown
home, the lightning strike opening the way. The stone also transports soul parts left at a traumatic past-
life death, trauma, disappointment or other event that tethers the soul into another life. This stone assists
a journey into the between-life state to ascertain why a soul did not fully incarnate in the present.
Purifying soul fragments passed through the pipe, Fulgarite brings the soul home for reintegration.
Traditionally used spiritually to blow prayers to the universe, Fulgarite is a powerful tool for manifesting
dreams. Set your intention, speak it out loud and blow through the Fulgarite to set it free to manifest in
the best way possible for your highest good. Accelerating the spiritual growth of humanity, the centre of
the tube is a conduit for divine energy to pass into the physical. It creates an energy vortex from the
chakras into the subtle bodies that purifies, realigns and re-energizes as it moves through the
frequencies, taking body and soul to a higher level and opening the way for new patterns to imprint. A
perfect shamanic anchor, Fulgarite opens the earth section of a cosmic anchor, attaching you deep into
the earth’s core.
Psychologically, Fulgarite facilitates letting go of anything blocking progress, opening the way for new
behaviours that serve your higher being and present state of evolution.
Mentally, by bringing thought into form, Fulgarite teaches how to hold only the highest and most
positive of intents.
Physically, Fulgarite can be gridded around the body to draw off negative energy or blockages and to
replenish energy lost to psychic vampirization or chronic dis-ease.

HEALING Blasts through restrictions and constrictions that block energy or blood flow, and raises energy
levels and libido, but its most profound work is at the soul level.

POSITION Hold or place as appropriate. Handle Fulgarite gently and do not apply pressure.

you need help, you only have to ask. Meditate with Gaspeite while sitting on the ground, setting out any
difficulties and trusting that the answer will come in the most appropriate way. Hold it whenever you need

mud, symbolizing wisdom awaiting release from the dross of the past. This stone is deeply purifying and
assists breathing in toxic places. Accessed through past-life and soma chakras, Hanksite retrieves true
feminine power and intuition. It combines particularly well with Lemurian Seed crystals.

no longer serve a purpose.

of the world before humankind began and a state our planet could return to if humankind continues to
violate it. This crystal will support the planet in regenerating when the ozone layer and air are depleted. It
assists in applying ancient wisdom to modern problems.

 LIBYAN GOLD TEKTITE
ALSO KNOWN AS LIBYAN GLASS, LIBYAN DESERT TECKTITE

COLOUR Pale yellow, gold, light green, white

APPEARANCE Smooth or slightly bubbly translucent ‘glass’

RARITY Increasingly available (but may be artificially manufactured)

SOURCE Libya

ATTRIBUTES Believed to have been formed when a meteorite hit the inhospitable Western Desert and
catapulted molten rock and sand into the stratosphere creating a glass-like substance, Libyan Gold is
effective for those who do not feel fully connected to the earth or who feel abandoned by their home
planet. Valued by the ancient Egyptians for ritual jewellery to bring the Sun God to earth, Libyan Gold
formed part of the protective heart scarab that guided Tutankhamun on his after-life journey to the stars
(see Crystal History).
Spiritually, this stone carries powerful sun energy and abundant life-force, acting as a protective
amulet for any journey – physical or metaphysical – going beyond the boundaries of what is known and
across frontiers of consciousness. It assists in travelling to ancient Egypt to reconnect to wisdom held
there – and to identify misuses of power and knowledge. However, the Egyptians guarded their
boundaries carefully and uninvited guests were held back by magical incantations. If you find it difficult to
travel the road to past, present or future, ask the stone to dissolve the restrictions placed in another life.
Environmentally, Libyan Gold is a useful connector between higher cosmic forces and the planet,
grounding and transmuting this energy into land and body, and opening spiritual vision. It assists in
balancing earth changes. Arising from such a phenomenal force, Libyan Gold assists in creating a new
life, manifesting your will on earth. It cuts away all that is outworn and outgrown and is useful for etheric
surgery, freeing you from the past and reconnecting to your spiritual roots. This stone works intensely, so
be sure you are prepared before use.

HEALING Restoring depleted life-force energy; little physical application other than resonating with the
kidneys, bladder and gall bladder, and potentially averting traveller’s diarrhoea.

POSITION Place or wear as appropriate. For journeying, place over the past-life or soma chakra. For
accessing information or inducing visions, place over the third eye.

reconnection to the root of being. Similar in energy to Flint or Novaculite, it opens the earth section of a
cosmic anchor, attaching you deep into the core of the earth and solidifying your core-energy field, and is

mimics. Hold one to call on your power animal before ritual working or exploring the crystal medicine

misuse of power, reminding you not to repeat patterns. Placed on the soma chakra, it draws karmic
debris out of the physical and emotional bodies. With its strong electro-magnetic field and ability to
reprogramme cellular memory, Nuummite quickly restores energy or power depleted by karmic debts and
other causes, and clears blockages including those that are self-imposed.
Psychologically, by severing present-life embroilments that stem from past manipulation or
incantations, Nuummite removes difficulties arising from another person’s inappropriate protection or
attempted guidance and dissolves defensive behaviour patterns built against that manipulation. Having
cleansed those experiences, Nuummite connects to your true self. Cutting through to your core, it
reprogrammes your thoughts and insists that you be responsible for your own protection. Nuummite
teaches respect and honour, demanding the fulfilment of obligations and promises that are relevant to life
today and letting go those that are not.
Physically, this stone aligns the biomagnetic sheath with the physical body, and removes any mental
implants from extraterrestrial or magical sources in the present or any other life. Nuummite combines well
with Novaculite to release curses, past-life imperatives and the effects of sorcery and ill-wishing in any
life. Novaculite provides spiritual guidance, cutting through ancient cords to outgrown mentors and the
like. The combination is useful for psychic surgery on the etheric blueprint, cutting away all that is dis-
eased due to past injury, trauma and actions. Use Nuummite for cutting and Novaculite to draw in
purifying and revitalizing energy, healing and sealing where the dis-ease was formerly sited. Adding

creates a beacon of light, the Chlorite cleanses the energy and the Stibnite closes and guards the portal.
It is very effective held over the higher crown chakras. Cleanse crystals afterwards with a specialist
etheric-level cleanser and wash your hands thoroughly after handling Stibnite as it is toxic.

APPEARANCE Blades on a matrix

RARITY Easily obtained

 PRESELI BLUESTONE

COLOUR Blue-grey, blue-green

APPEARANCE Mottled and flecked, granite-like; lustrous when polished

RARITY Found at only one site

SOURCE Preseli Mountains (Wales)

ATTRIBUTES Preseli Bluestone is an ancient stone of dreaming and far memory that forms the inner
ring at Stonehenge in the English county of Wiltshire and which moves out of space and time to access
multi-dimensions. With its powerful telluric electromagnetic charge, Preseli Bluestone opens a cosmic
anchor and attaches to the core of the earth, creating unshakeable inner-core energetic solidity to
stabilize you through earth changes. It then aligns your energy to the galactic centre so that you are held
suspended between the earth and the galaxy and can allow waves of energy to pass through your body
to earth themselves in the planetary centre. It also works as a shamanic anchor for both lower- and
upper-world journeys.
A unique British stone, spiritually Bluestone links to Merlin energy and the shaman in everyone. With a
powerful connection with Mother Earth, it warns that whoever violates the earth violates themselves.
Combined with chalk or Flint, Bluestone acts as a battery – generating, earthing and grounding spiritual
energy and power, and enhancing psychic ability and metaphysical gifts. A visionary stone for all past-life
exploration, this stone specifically assists in tracking your Celtic heritage and links to Egyptian knowledge
held deep within the stone. On the soma or past-life chakras, it is particularly useful for soul retrieval and
power retrieval, effortlessly reaching way back into the past. The perfect dreaming stone, it brings
answers quickly and assists in accessing and integrating spiritual information.
Size matters with Bluestone – a small piece is exceedingly intense and larger pieces may need
moving out of a bedroom at night to avoid over-stimulation. This stone is specifically directional – if you
feel pressure or a headache develops, turn and face another direction when working with the stone or
turn the stone. It can reset your internal or spiritual compass. This directional quality means that it
channels the earth’s electromagnetic forces and facilitates travel along telluric currents or healing of the
earth’s grid. The stone links all the stone circles in the British Isles in an enormous energy spiral and then
connects to other power centres around the planet. It shows the energetic geometric patterns encoded
within circles and other sacred sites and facilitates reconnecting these where the energies have been
violated or broken, whether deliberately or accidently. If power is being drawn from a sacred site for
inappropriate purposes, Bluestone breaks the connection and protects the energy of the site.
Psychologically, Bluestone enhances willpower and courage, and gives enormous strength, enabling
bearing hard knocks with equanimity – and understanding the lessons and gifts therein. It is an energy
enhancer that also provides protection on all levels. This stone links the heart, thymus and throat
chakras, enabling speaking your truth. Mentally, Bluestone focuses one-pointedly, clearing the mind of all
trivia and creating a space into which knowledge arises intuitively.
Emotionally, Bluestone is a stabilizer, helping in leaving old attachments and feelings behind so that

167
you can live calmly in the present moment.
Bluestone is an immensely physical stone, involving all the senses and balancing energy and, not
surprisingly, it supports kinesiology and pyschometry. It has a strong connection with herbs and
herbalism, especially plants grown on mountains. This stone can have opposite effects: sedating excess
and revitalizing depletion. Bluestone enhances the ability to physically sense energy lines or the
vibrations of crystals, or to attune to the subtle energies of the human body, such as acupuncture points.
When walking the landscape carrying Bluestone, you are ‘plugged in’ to all that has happened there, but
without attachment. This powerful stone assists in ‘being in the moment’.

 PUMICE

COLOUR Light grey or beige

APPEARANCE Light, holey as though bubbles have burst

RARITY Easily obtained

SOURCE Worldwide

ATTRIBUTES Not generally regarded as a crystal, Pumice is a powerful healer and absorber of negative
energy. Placed over the thymus, it releases ancient pain held in the heart or gut, and heals ingrained
emotional wounds, reprogramming emotional cellular memory.
Psychologically, this stone scrubs off a suffocating coating of guilt, resentment or other negative
energy that has travelled from the karmic past or been imposed upon you in the present life, especially
from childhood. It is also helpful when you suffer from a crippling sense of inadequacy, no matter how
much you may have hidden this from yourself. Like a serpent shedding its skin, peel away this coating by
working all over the biomagnetic sheath with the stone and then seal your biomagnetic sheath with
Selenite or Quartz.
Psychologically, Pumice is particularly useful for abrasive people who have created a defence against
the pain they carry, but who feel extremely vulnerable underneath a hard shell. This stone gently assists
in letting go of protective barriers and accepting one’s vulnerability, assisting trust and acceptance. It
opens the ability to let other people in, encouraging intimacy of all kinds.
Physically, this stone assists toxin release especially during colonic hydrotherapy; after the treatment,
holding Pumice cleanses negative energy from the therapist.

HEALING Assists the action of colonic hydrotherapy, detoxification, cellular memory and soothes irritable
bowel syndrome (IBS).

curses or ill-wishing and psychic interference, and imprinting positive energy. Equally helpful in any sale
situation, programme it (see Awakening Crystals) to find a buyer quickly.

APPEARANCE Mottled opaque stone

RARITY Easily available as tumbled stone

ATTRIBUTES A combination of Shattuckite, Dioptase, Malachite and Chrysocolla on Smoky Quartz,

Quantum Quattro prevents a healing crisis or catharsis occurring as negative energies gently drop away.
A stone of transformation, it has a dramatic effect on the energy field, strengthening the immune system
and DNA, and activating 12-strand DNA healing. Grounding spiritual energies on to the planet and
allowing information to pass freely from all levels of being, it is an important protection stone, absorbing
negative energies and pollutants.
Spiritually, Quantum Quattro clears psychic vision and protects during channelling, ensuring that the
entity does not take over the physical body. Aligned to the 2012 vibrational shift, this stone, when used
with intention and sincerity, could bring about a better world. Meditate with it and clearly visualize the
positive changes you wish to put in place to offset the negative expectations that abound around us. The
combination symbolizes wholeness and peace.
Environmentally or physically, placed on an area of imbalance, this stone gently restores equilibrium. If
one stone is placed on the third eye and another on the solar plexus, mind, body and emotions are
balanced.
Psychologically, Quantum Quattro is particularly effective at healing the effects of grief – in a past or
present life – and releasing heartache held within the physical body. It draws out deep feelings and
psychosomatic causes, breaks unwanted ties and outworn patterns, and teaches how to take
responsibility for your actions, thoughts and feelings. This stone removes hypnotic commands and edicts
against using psychic vision, clearing past-life curses and commands to secrecy. Supporting a positive
attitude to life and instilling the ability to tune into one’s resources, Quantum Quattro is especially helpful
when you do not know what to do next, as it indicates direction. A strong mental cleanser and detoxifier,
this stone releases the need to control others.
Emotionally, Quantum Quattro is a powerful healer for the heart and activator for the higher heart
chakra. Drawing out negative emotions such as guilt from the solar plexus chakra, this stone reverses
destructive emotional programming. Acting as a bridge to emotional healing, especially for the inner child,
clearing festering wounds and forgotten hurts, dissolving grief, betrayal and sorrow, it is extremely

172
effective for healing the pain of abandonment. This stone teaches that difficulty in relationship is a
mirroring of an inner separation from the self. Repairing that link and drawing in love at all levels,
Quantum Quattro heals an emotional black hole that is desperate for love. This stone clears away
perceptions as to how love ought to be and brings in a new vibration of love. It is beneficial to
relationships that have become rocky, stabilizing and healing the home and personal interaction.
This tranquil and sustaining stone assists in accepting with serenity situations that are constantly
changing, invoking great inner strength. Quantum Quattro enhances personal power and inspires
creativity, promoting a concern for the environment and ecological solutions. Assisting elimination and
detoxification on all levels, it brings in a positive vibration to fill the space. Quantum Quattro teaches how
to leave behind anything that no longer serves a purpose. It protects the earth chakra below the feet and
its grounding cord when in an area of disturbed earth energy. Alleviating ambivalence about being in
incarnation, this stone assists in accepting the physical body and your sexual nature.
Quantum Quattro efficiently breaks the cycle of karmic co-dependency that occurs within addictions or
obsessive relationships. It helps carers or partners realize that they can neither ‘do it for’ the addict or
partner, nor control their behaviour. This stone assists standing by placidly while the other soul follows its
journey, but also indicates when intervention would be positive.

HEALING A master healer; brings the body gently back into balance and acts as a general tonic. It is
beneficial for intercellular structures, cell disorder, blood re-oxygenation, the lungs, pancreas, insulin and

COLOUR Clear with white, yellow, red and peach inclusions

RARITY Rare

SOURCE Brazil

ATTRIBUTES Also known as Angel Phantom because of the inner wings and angelic vibration,
Amphibole Quartz provides a connection to the highest level of spiritual experience, calling in your

comfort those left behind.

180
 Ideal for healers, this stone prevents negativity from sticking and assists in locating the site of dis-ease

the pulmonary and immune systems, the brain, fluid imbalances, the kidney, bladder, thymus and thyroid,

overcoming insomnia and night sweats.

 QUARTZ: BRANDENBERG

COLOUR Clear, purple, smoky brown, yellow

APPEARANCE Bright clear point with phantoms or bubbles included

RARITY Becoming more available but rising in price

SOURCE Namibia

ATTRIBUTES Brandenberg has an exceedingly high vibration. A powerful stone for spiritual alchemy, it
connects to the immensity of your spiritual being and All That Is. Attuned to the white flame of pure
consciousness and emanating infinite compassion, this stone is perfect for deep soul healing and
forgiveness work.
Spiritually an effective aid to work at all levels, rapidly linking to multi-dimensions, this stone assists in
looking inward or climbing the vibrational ladder to other dimensions. Brandenberg attaches a cosmic
anchor deep in the earth and at the centre of the galaxy, ensuring an inner-core energetic solidity no
matter what changes occur. Facilitating an objective viewpoint, it is useful when travelling to dimensions
of which you could not otherwise retain consciousness awareness. This stone instils brainwave
combinations that enhance meditation, regression and healing.
Although a hugely versatile crystal as each one carries the resonance of clear, smoky and amethyst
vibrations, more than any other stone Brandenbergs are person-specific and task-related. When you find
your particular stone, you know, but you may need several, as one could be attuned to earth healing,
another to soul or karmic healing and so on. There are Brandenbergs that do everything and they may be
tiny or huge – size has no relevance, it is the resonance that counts. Call your Brandenberg to you in the
spiritual dimension before seeking the physical stone.
This stone is a gatekeeper that protects against psychic attack and alien invasion, and repels negative
energy, calling in positive light. It holds a light when working in shadows or underworld, especially during
soul- or child-parts retrieval and facilitates purification and integration of those parts into your present
self. Placed on the soma, soul star or stellar gateway chakras, Brandenberg attunes to your core spiritual
identity, facilitating true self-reflection and consciousness activation. On the heart seed chakra, it assists
travel to the between-life state to ascertain your soul plan for the current lifetime, identifying forks in the
road where a conscious choice was needed. It shows how to return to your original soul plan if you have
deviated and how to release outgrown soul imperatives. On the past-life chakras, Brandenberg heals the
imprints and effects of trauma in previous lives, no matter in what dimension those lives were lived. On
the third eye, this stone removes blockages to spiritual or psychic sight and accesses guidance from the
purest source.
Brandenberg works by restoring to its perfect energetic state the etheric blueprint from which your
physical body was formed by taking it back to the highest vibration and attuning to All That Is: the
original, perfect blueprint before time began. The healing, often instantaneous and profound, filters into
the mental, psychological, emotional and physical bodies, restoring balance on all those levels.
A Brandenberg clears the higher heart chakra and opens the throat so that spiritual truth is spoken
with unconditional love and compassion. It quickly disconnects a previously made mystic marriage or any

182
relationship that has resulted in intertwining at the higher chakras.
Physically, this stone accelerates convalescence and restores vitality by taking you into the most
perfect energetic state possible.

for concussion and immune deficiencies, chronic fatigue, limbic brain function and multidimensional
cellular memory healing. It ameliorates dental pain.

POSITION Place or hold as appropriate.

SPECIFIC COLOURS

body colour. It is the finest tool available for removing implants, attachments, spirit possession or mental
influence. This is the stone par excellence for conscious transformation or transition, especially through
death.

Smoky Brandenberg is the perfect stone for earth healing, taking the earth grid back to its perfect
blueprint, restoring the earth’s chakra and meridian systems, and sending the healing deep into the earth
to restore the Earth Mother herself. This stone cleanses and re-attaches your cosmic anchor. If you took
on a dis-ease, physical or psychiatric condition or traumatic circumstances for reasons of karma or soul
growth – or for restitution – Smoky Brandenberg facilitates understanding the gifts you seek. It helps in
facing the remainder of your current life with equanimity and joy, knowing that your situation is exactly
right for spiritual evolution.

183
Amethyst Brandenberg is an excellent stone for any matters of the heart as it takes you into the
transmutational violet flame of unconditional love and divinity at the centre of the universe. Being bathed
in this love brings about profound healing. Past-life heartbreak or imperatives towards soulmates are
dissolved by an Amethyst Brandenberg, setting you free to call in your twinflame in the present
incarnation, whether as an inner marriage between your masculine and feminine qualities, or as an outer-
world alliance that totally supports who you are in your fullness and spiritual being.

‘Citrine’ Brandenberg is a rare and special crystal attuned to the golden flame of the illumined mind. It
opens soul abundance and spiritual joy, teaching how to fully appreciate life as an enlightened and truly
empowered soul incarnated on the earth.

COLOUR Clear, white, yellow, smoky-grey

APPEARANCE Multi-terminated Quartz

RARITY Easily obtained

library’ giving access to all that has occurred on earth and in the celestial realms, and holds the story of

 QUARTZ: CELESTIAL QUARTZ

COLOUR White, grey or red

APPEARANCE Fissured and etched clear crystal, or tiny crystals or waxlike coating on a core point

RARITY Rare

SOURCE Madagascar, Himalayas

ATTRIBUTES Celestial Quartz is another stone over which confusion reigns. Some ‘Celestial Quartz’,
which may be white, grey or red, is from Madagascar, also known as Candle Quartz, while another
‘Celestial Quartz’, found in the Himalayas, looks like Nirvana Quartz, but does not reach quite the same
high vibration. Each type holds a distinctly different energy and has varied ways of facilitating energy
shifts, but each frees up an adherence to the karmic level of being, leading to awareness of the grace
that, ultimately, when sufficient work has been done, sets the soul free and takes it into an experience of
All That Is. Both act as a ‘reader’ for the Akashic Record, pinpointing the soul’s purpose in incarnating. At
that point, the celestial energies are brought into, experienced and expressed within the everyday
physical world, bringing about profound earth healing.
Madagascan Red or Smoky ‘Celestial Quartz’ has a more grounded energy than white and assists
people who have only a toehold in incarnation to take up residence in the physical body, integrating it
more firmly with the lightbody and making earth a comfortable place. It contains information on how
coming earth changes might manifest. A useful stone for earth and environmental healing, it realigns,
repairs and re-energizes the earth’s meridians and kundalini force. This stone works particularly well in
the south of the crystal medicine wheel (see Awakening Crystals), assisting the soul to come into
physical incarnation whilst maintaining full spiritual awareness. It is also extremely effective in grids for
earth healing or repair of the earth’s meridian system.

HEALING Both types of Celestial Quartz work mainly beyond the physical level of being to heal the soul.
Red ‘Celestial Quartz’ brings vitality into the body, restructuring cells, and Smoky Celestial detoxifies.

POSITION Hold or position as appropriate. Madagascan Celestial Quartz is particularly effective gridded
around a healing couch or to create a sacred space.

 QUARTZ: CHINESE CHROMIUM QUARTZ

COLOUR Green

APPEARANCE Bubbly coating on points and ‘tubes’

RARITY Fairly easily obtained

SOURCE Manufactured

ATTRIBUTES Chinese Chromium Quartz is created by superheating Quartz with Chromium so that it
fuses on the surface. An insightful stone to meditate with to find out exactly what underlies a breakdown
in the pancreas and reveal the psychosomatic causes of diabetes, it often indicates that the incarnating
soul feels that the sweetness has gone out of life. Pinpointing the control mechanisms in which you have
become stuck, Chinese Chromium Quartz gives clarity about what is needed to bring life back into
balance and reconnect to joy, the crystal suggesting what would bring back that sweetness – and exactly
how this will occur. In the meantime, Chinese Chromium Quartz provides understanding and

APPEARANCE Coated or included Quartz point

RARITY Easily obtained

SOURCE China

ATTRIBUTES Naturally coated or included Chinese Red Quartz promotes healing and reconciliation at a
personal, family or collective level. Spiritually, this stone induces a feeling of being put through purifying
flames to burn away karma, leaving the soul ready to start anew. This stone fosters forgiveness and
teaches that the apparent mistakes of the past were learning situations that help humankind grow in
understanding and move forward in their evolution. It eases the pain of racial conflict and encourages
forgiveness for the perpetrators. Chinese Red Quartz also points to the fact that, at a higher level, race
and religion are an illusion that is transcended in the oneness and unity of spirit.
Psychologically, this stone assists in finding the gift in every situation, bringing clarity to the positive
lessons within a life challenge and illuminating the soul plan for the present lifetime. It shows how, by
experiencing a lack of a particular quality in the outer environment, the soul creates that quality in the
inner being. Combine Chinese Red Quartz with Tibetan Blackspot to reconcile differences and bring a
profound inner peace.
Emotionally, Chinese Red Quartz is useful for overcoming profound despair and restoring life-force
and vitality to the body. This stone induces perseverance and overcomes frustration, bringing in joy. By
promoting self-forgiveness, Chinese Red Quartz ameliorates the physical manifestation of negative
emotional states of inner rage, anger and festering resentment that lie behind arthritis and diseases of
the auto-immune system, such as lupus, and provides the motivation to recover from ME.
Environmentally, Chinese Red Quartz is used by earth healers and stabilizes the planet, including the
oceans and mountains. The stone is also helpful in business and in enhancing financial security.

HEALING Supports oxygenation of the blood and organs of the body, enhances energy, eases swelling
and inflammation in arthritis and auto-immune diseases. Recharges the base and sacral chakras.

SOURCE
Africa (Epidote in Quartz)

ATTRIBUTES Epidote in Quartz appears in two forms: dark streaks on a matrix or the light green Dream
Quartz that has a more refined vibration. People tend to have strong reactions to this stone, loving it or
intensely disliking it.
Spiritually, those who resonate with this stone find it extremely peaceful – a gateway to deep
meditative states and inter-dimensional travel, conducive to insightful lucid dreaming, promoting dream
recall, and a useful tool for dreaming up a new future. Placed on the soma or past-life chakras to activate
past-life memories, Dream Quartz gives protection whilst journeying, and cleanses and reframes
traumatic experiences. The Epidote component is strongly protective.
Those who do not resonate with the stone may need to question why they have an aversion to it and
exactly what is being stirred up – indicating perhaps a deeply entrenched attitude or limiting behaviour
pattern that needs transcending. It may also indicate that they are, for the moment, incapable of living out
their dream, and pinpoint the changes needed before allowing themselves to dream once more.
Psychologically an opener for the higher heart and mind, this hopeful stone rejuvenates and gives you
the courage to break free from limiting patterns and bounce back after enormous setbacks, adding a new
impetus to soul growth.

194

granulation in organs.

Bushman Cascade, however, has a highly energetic charge while Smoky Drusy Quartz gently detoxifies.

opening awareness of the spiritual companionship available if only you ask. It is the perfect stone for total
immersion in the joy of being.

Drusy Quartz on Sphalerite is a powerful mental-energy cleanser that clears feelings of isolation or
alienation, supports the nervous system and reduces environmental disease. Sphalerite discerns truth
from deception, particularly in channelled information and protects those in the public eye. Alleviating
homesickness, it is a perfect anchor for those for whom the earth is not their natural home and assists in
realigning to a differently gendered physical body from that of previous lives, rebalancing male-female

the dimension where your soul knowledge is stored to reveal the purpose you had when first incarnated.

 QUARTZ: ICE QUARTZ
ALSO KNOWN AS GLACIAL ETCHED QUARTZ

COLOUR White

APPEARANCE Pure white crystal that is fissured and etched

RARITY Rare

SOURCE Pakistan

ATTRIBUTES Ice Quartz, often labelled Glacial Etched Quartz, looks and feels similar to Nirvana Quartz
but is less intense. It resonates with the energy of the recently discovered celestial body Sedna and the
Inuit myth of the goddess who, after being thrown out of a kayak by her creator-god father, had charge of
the creatures of the sea.
Spiritually, this gentle stone is a useful intermediary when the energy of Nirvana Quartz is too
overpowering for the level of awareness so far attained. Attuning to it quietly shifts barriers, opens
consciousness and gives a glimpse of exciting possibilities but does not overwhelm, giving you time to
adjust and unfold at your own pace. An expert on right timing, Ice Quartz is a useful stone to hold if you
wish to know why something has not come to fruition. It shows the gift in patient waiting. Holding Ice
Quartz takes you into profound stillness, aligning to the inner divine and the immensity of being. When
the time is right, you become aware of the call to be all that you are – and of the means to make the
journey.
A karmic emotional healer that assists in releasing victim mentality or victimization and anything from
past lives that is emotionally entangling, Ice Quartz helps in stepping off the karmic treadmill of
relationships. Emotionally, it unblocks frozen feelings and shows how to let go. This stone teaches
emotional independence and autonomy, bringing about the realization that you alone are responsible for
creating and maintaining your sense of well-being and happiness, and releasing dependence on any
external source, including a partner or loved one. Ice Quartz also shows that aloneness is not loneliness
and that there is value in solitariness and isolation, opening the way to finding solace in being with your
Self.
Psychologically, Ice Quartz helps in letting go of control mechanisms that have historically made you
feel safe from hurt. Encouraging a release of the need to do it your way, this stone opens you to a new
relatedness to yourself, others and the world, and introduces the world of conscious choices.

and arthritis.

RARITY Rare

SOURCE Brazil, Russia, Tibet, Arkansas (United States), Zambia

ATTRIBUTES Perfect tools for lightworkers, Lemurians hold a blessing of unconditional love for the earth
as we enter a profound vibrational shift. They remind lightworkers to attend to their evolution as well as
facilitating that of others. Ascended like a ladder, accessing inner- and multi-dimensional states,
Lemurians teach we are many-dimensioned beings and give an objective view of prior lifetimes. Piercing
illusions of separateness in physical incarnation, they remind that healing is re-membering our spiritual
selves and time is an illusion of physical incarnation, showing how to move beyond its boundaries into All
That Is.
Ideal to grid for angelic contact, Lemurians open a stargate, anchoring ancient wisdom into the
present. Reawakening to spiritual training and healing abilities, they consciously reconnect past
knowledge. In past-life therapy, accessing before dis-ease or destructive emotional patterns set in, they
facilitate recovery of inner perfection. Excellent for chakra balancing and clearing, Lemurian wands
remove karmic debris and soul imperatives. Activating higher resonances of each chakra and integrating
with the lightbody, Lemurians facilitate deep communication between physical and subtle levels of being,
grounding vibrational shifts into the physical.
Mentally, Lemurians teach that thoughts are creative and take on form and, harnessed to right intent
and self-belief, manifest full potential. To re-enter a significant dream or to obtain clarity and insight and
for conscious dreaming or dreaming up a new reality, sleep with one under your pillow.
In a medicine wheel (see Awakening Crystals) or gridded, especially when activated with Elestial
Quartz, Lemurians open a multi-dimensional healing space and powerful energy portal taking in past,
present and future, through which any part of soul evolution can be accessed and transformed. Use
Lemurians with Smoky Elestials to anchor high-vibration energy and activate a cosmic anchor for the
lightbody. Combines well with Hanksite to cleanse and purify Lemurian negative energies (may be
cathartic), transforming into positive memories.

subtle and physical bodies.

207
‘Pink’ Lemurian is strongly heart-centred, attuned to the pink flame of unconditional, compassionate
love, removing emotional and karmic debris from the heart chakra and emotional body, taking it to a

abused heart-energy imprints from Lemuria or Atlantis, facilitating emotional independence in your
present life. It activates the lightbody heart chakra.

‘Blue’ Lemurian offers an overview of lives and why you incarnated again. Stimulating journeys through
multi-dimensions to insight needed for the service you offer, Blue Lemurian is ideal for healers, as
negativity does not stick. It assists diagnosis and locating the site of dis-ease, ‘jumping’ at the point of
greatest disharmony, which it dissolves and infuses with light.

ATTRIBUTES Morion Quartz is a naturally irradiated (but not radioactive) dark Quartz often covered with
encrustations of Dolomite, Pyrite or Feldspar with efficient shielding properties, especially when used in
travelling or lucid dreaming. Spiritually, by enhancing psychic vision, it reconciles dualities, bringing
together yin and yang, masculine and feminine, earth and sky and taking you into a place of non-duality.
As a wand, Morion pulls negative and stagnant energy out of the body, the encrustations re-energizing
according to their properties: Pyrite creates an energetic shield and the psychological motivation to move
forward and Dolomite assures the soul that it is safe in incarnation.
Psychologically, Morion overcomes the effects of stress and helps in exploring your shadow energies
and finding their gift, imparting the courage to overcome obstacles and to find trust once again, and
supporting self-esteem and inner confidence. A peaceful and grounding stone, Morion is a gentle healer
for damaged emotions or heartbreak, enfolding you in a feeling of safety and calm that enables walking

chakra and grounds those energies into the earth. Amplifying the flow of ascension and spiritual energy
into the physical and subtle bodies, Nirvana Quartz integrates the lightbody.
Spiritually, this stone facilitates a shift into the enlightenment of inner Nirvana – bliss states of pure
illumined mind combined with unconditional love of all that exists, experienced within the human body.
Standing at the interface of consciousness and matter, mind and body, spirit and soul, past and future,
human and divine, Nirvana Quartz feels like crystallized divine consciousness. It holds a wisdom that
brings about a profound shift in awareness and a rapid acceleration into accepting your spiritual destiny
as a universal being. It removes any barriers to spiritual or psychological growth and awakens
undreamed of and unformed potential, although it may provoke an acute healing crisis that requires other
stones as the soul sheds its karma, soul imperatives and deepest illusions to attune to its true purpose
and realize its awesome possibilities. Teaching that we truly create our reality, this stone vastly expands
our vision of what that reality could be.
Nirvana Quartz creates a bridge to channel energy through an intermediary between a healer and a
third person unknown to the healer. Particularly useful for spirit-release work where a friend or relative
acts as the intermediary, it reminds that spirit attachment is one situation where informed consent is not
mandatory as the soul rarely chose to allow the entity to attach. Additional stones may be needed to seal
the biomagnetic sheath against re-invasion.

HEALING Works beyond the physical level of being to open the enlightened mind.

POSITION Hold or position as appropriate, especially on the soul star chakra. Combine with Ice Quartz in
grids.

SPECIFIC COLOURS

and helps in accepting the life path you have laid down for yourself.
Psychologically, if you have lost your capacity for enjoyment, Orange River Quartz restores it to the
full, opening you both to give and receive pure pleasure.
One formation is a sceptre, a tool for multidimensional healing, conferring power and spiritual
authority. It aids regaining and owning spiritual power, but any Orange River Quartz assists in
overcoming karmic misuse or abuse of power, experienced as perpetrator or victim. Helping in
reconnecting to your personal will and aligning that to the guiding will of the Higher Self, if you gave away
your power in the present or any other life, this stone assists in reclaiming it and using it wisely and well
in the service of your soul.
The other formation is a tantric twin which, if you are emotionally prepared, calls in your twinflame,
creating a mutually supportive, unconditionally loving relationship and allows the memory of painful past
relationships to fall away, re-energizing your emotional life. It may also call a soulmate to continue
lessons or unfinished business.
Physically, this stone is an efficient healer, realigning the meridians of the body and encouraging
energy flow in the organs via purified and re-energized blood.

under the guidance of an experienced therapist). A large Chlorite Phantom placed point down in the
lavatory cistern energetically cleanses the house. Green Phantom ameliorates panic attacks, stabilizes
bi-polar disorder and helps with self-realization. Some Green Phantoms formed from other minerals
create a powerful healer that accelerates recovery. Green Phantom facilitates angelic contact and
clarifying clairaudient communication. It alleviates despair and helps you feel supported.

219
Yellow Phantom is an intellectually-attuned stone that assists the mind in recalling and reorganizing
memories and thought patterns, acting as a link to the higher mind. The inclusion is Limonite, a stone that
stimulates intellectual activities of all kinds. This phantom removes mental attachments or influences from
this life or any other. It unites the third eye, crown, past-life and solar plexus chakras to bring insights into
the emotional and psychological effects of previous experiences and the reason why the soul chose to
undergo these.

Orange Phantom, Carnelian included, strongly energizes and rejuvenates, activating and harmonizing
the solar plexus, third eye, heart and sacral chakras to enhance creativity. Orange Phantom is helpful in
overcoming an addictive personality, ending the constant search for even more and focusing on
recovery. The paler-coloured Phantom enables journeying to contact your Higher Self and to access who
you truly are. Once you have reconnected to this vital sense of Self, your insights can be put into practice
in everyday life.

Reversed Orange Phantom forms when Carnelian fuses around Quartz and offers insight into one’s
inner workings and the true meaning of life. Carry this stone for long-term sustenance and vitality.

220
Pinpointing the site and subtle cause of dis-ease, Reverse Orange Phantom enables taking control of
your life.

Red Phantom is an inclusion of Limonite, Hematite and/or Kaolinite. Useful for healing breaks in the
biomagnetic sheath and removing energy implants, this Phantom re-energizes the lower chakras and
synthesizes these with the solar plexus to release emotional pain or past-life trauma and heal emotional
dysfunction. Red Phantom is particularly useful for encouraging creativity. By allowing you to feel what
was blocked out and repressed in childhood in order to survive, it reconnects to your joy, healing your
inner child – additional stones may be required. This stone imparts tranquillity to your mind and energizes
the physical body. Chinese Red Phantom, formed from Hematite, overcomes despair and restores the
life-force and vitality to the body. This Phantom induces perseverance and overcomes frustration. Used
by earth healers, it stabilizes the planet. Enhancing financial security, it is helpful in business.

Blue Phantom enhances telepathic communication between people or earth and the spiritual realms.
This stone facilitates multi-dimensional travel, knowledge-retrieval and divination. In making you feel a
part of the perfect whole, this stone helps in reaching out to others with compassion and tolerance. Blue
Phantom is helpful for ameliorating anger and anxiety. It supports the throat, endocrine and metabolic
systems, and the spleen and blood vessels.

221
Smoky Phantom activates the past-life chakras and assists in retrieving and reframing traumatic
memories. A useful entity remover, Smoky Phantom Quartz takes you back to your original soul group,
linking into the purpose of the group’s incarnations. It assists in identifying and attracting members of
your soul group in the present life to fulfil your karmic or spiritual task and teaches that experiences
cannot be judged from an earthly perspective. If negative energies or imperatives have intervened in your
group purpose, a Smoky Phantom removes these, taking the group back to its original intention. The
Phantom goes to before a problem or pattern originated to reconnect to a state of wholeness and
harmony.

Pink Phantom promotes peace and self-love. It assists empathetic communication between friends or
lovers; or you and a spirit guide or Higher Self. This stone facilitates accepting life as it is – and making
changes, when appropriate, that enable finding fulfilment. If two healers are working at a distance, it
provides a strong link, stimulating telepathy and providing spiritual protection. It is beneficial for
overcoming restriction, abandonment, betrayal or alienation and supports the heart and assists lupus and
auto-immune diseases.

222
Desirite is white with orange, brown, white and blue Phantoms. Resonating to the master number 44, the
number of metamorphosis, Desirite assists transmutation on all levels and a re-cognition of the
interweaving of the divine with the spiritual. Its different-coloured Phantoms form a ladder for ascension.
Dubbed the ‘as above so below stone’, it reflects physical and spiritual reality. Rubbing your thumb up the
crystal takes you into profound meditative states. Strongly grounding, this stone moves to a high
vibration, each level being accessed successively, the first linking to Native America and Lemuria, and
the second to Egypt. Perfect for angel and Ascended Master work, Desirite accesses lives far back in the
history of the planet. Although a powerful healing tool for those who are attuned to it, Desirite does not
work well as part of a healing layout; it is best used alone or to realign and rebalance after a healing
session. Desirite works beyond the physical to clear old soul patterns, the core cause of hearing
disorders, and to create multi-dimensional cellular healing. See also the properties of the individual
colours of Phantom Quartz, as this stone synergizes the energy of them all.

 QUARTZ: PINK CRACKLE QUARTZ

COLOUR Pink-colour infused (and see Specific Colours)

APPEARANCE Clear Quartz crystal crackled and crazed inside

RARITY Easily obtained

SOURCE Artificially amended Quartz

ATTRIBUTES Although Crackle Quartz has been superheated and colour-infused, it carries life-
enhancing and energy-expanding qualities. Promoting fun and joy in life, it appeals particularly to children
or to the inner child in everyone, and the full colour range creates a useful chakra set for children.
Psychologically, this stone insists that you be responsible for your feelings, recognizing that they arise
inside your self and that only you can opt for inner joy and happiness rather than relying on other people
to provide this. Emotionally, Pink Crackle Quartz is particularly helpful for healing an abused or
emotionally damaged child, gently drawing out the pain and replacing it with love. It links the solar plexus
chakra with the heart, bringing unconditional love into the emotional centre. Healing a broken or
damaged heart centre, this stone teaches the emotional independence that arises when you no longer
worry about what others may think and cease to follow external instructions as to how you should feel,
relying instead upon how you are internally. Physically, this stone helps to recharge; it is a useful adjunct
to Reiki healing, facilitating contact with your Higher Self.

HEALING Supports cellular memory, brittle bones, compound fractures and anxiety; helpful for pain
experienced during flying.

POSITION Hold, grid or place as appropriate.

SPECIFIC COLOURS
Lilac Crackle Quartz assists spiritual development. It gently breaks open crystallized beliefs, promoting
a change of attitude and new perceptions on the spiritual pathway.

224
Blue Crackle Quartz assists in making yourself heard and facilitates communication, overcoming
speech and hearing problems, and ameliorates breathing difficulties.

Green Crackle Quartz helps to earth and comfort an ungrounded person or someone who feels
uncomfortable in their body due to physical abuse or dislike of physical incarnation.

Yellow Crackle Quartz assists with healing mental abuse and authoritarianism, assuring the child within
that it is OK to believe in yourself and your perceptions. It heals a broken mind or cracks open a closed
one to encompass new possibilities.

225
Orange or Red Crackle Quartz is useful for stimulating creativity and the playful child within.

 QUARTZ: PRASIOLITE QUARTZ

COLOUR Leek green

APPEARANCE Translucent to clear Quartz

RARITY Natural is rare; most Prasiolite is created by heat-treating Amethyst

SOURCE Brazil, United States, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Finland, Russia, Namibia

ATTRIBUTES A stone of transformation, Prasiolite acts as a bridging stone between the frequencies of
earth and those of higher realms so that energy passes in either direction into the heart and soul of the
wearer. Placed on the earth chakra, it draws nurturing and creative energy from the earth into the heart to
feed the soul. On the crown chakra, Prasiolite draws the highest frequencies of spirit into the higher heart
chakra.
Spiritually, this stone is useful for contact with your Higher Self; meditating with it assists in embodying
that energy and projecting it into everyday life, grounding and manifesting your spiritual purpose. If you
have difficulty recognizing the innate divinity of yourself or everyone else, wear Prasiolite over your heart.
Prasiolite is useful for upper-world shamanic journeying. Going into deep connection with All That Is, it
assists in unwinding ancestral patterns in the south-east of the medicine wheel (see Awakening
Crystals), meeting the spirits of your ancestors and those of the planet. In ancestral line or past-life
healing, Prasiolite rejigs the etheric blueprint for your present life, pinpointing significant karmic
connections and the gift or karmic justice in traumatic situations.
Emotionally, this stone protects the spleen chakra from energy depletion, reversing a ‘put-upon’ or
martyred disposition or a feeling that you have to give your all to someone or something else, deeply
depleting your energies in the process. Prasiolite supports those with a needy disposition to find an
inexhaustible energy source and confidence within themselves through their connection to the Earth
Mother and Celestial Father, activating a cosmic anchor. This stone assists those who are ready to leave
the planet in doing so with dignity and full awareness, having expressed all that they wished to say before
they leave.

HEALING An effective heart healer; supports spleen function, blood cells and the digestive and immune
systems.

POSITION Place or position as appropriate. To correct energy depletion, wear over the spleen chakra,
under the left armpit or over the base of the sternum.

ADDITIONAL STONE
Mariposite, a dense, marble-like bright green and white Quartz, helps in adapting to new situations and
in developing a more flexible personality. A stress-reducer that stabilizes energies, it lessens exhaustion
and reduces fears. This is a supportive stone for craftspeople and self-expression. (See also Seriphos
Quartz.)

 QUARTZ: SATYALOKA QUARTZ

COLOUR Clear, white or yellowish-white

APPEARANCE Translucent or opaque crystal with inclusions

RARITY Easily obtained but increasingly expensive

SOURCE Southern India

ATTRIBUTES Attuned to the white flame of pure consciousness, this exceedingly high-vibration stone is
spiritually enhanced by monks from Satyaloka, South India, who infuse the stone, already containing
energy from a sacred mountain, with spiritual light before sending it into the world. Their intention is that
this truly holy stone will bring about a shift into planetary consciousness, opening the way for higher
consciousness to manifest on the earth and enlightenment for all. Opening the illumined mind, this stone
is an excellent tool for facilitating a vibrational shift, whether at a personal or planetary level, and for
bringing about profound, holistic spiritual healing. The stone resonates with the crown chakra of the
earth, opening and aligning the crown and higher crown chakras of the physical and subtle bodies.
Facilitating an instantaneous download of spiritual insight as to what is required to move spiritual
evolution forward, this stone may take time to process. Placed on the crown chakra, it facilitates spiritual
awakening or a shift into immediate enlightenment that is lived out on the earth. Placed on the soma
chakra, it activates the lightbody; placed on the third eye, it induces spiritual visions and connects to
guidance from an immensely high vibration. Satyaloka Quartz sets up a powerful resonance in your inner
being that activates the intelligent interface between the soul and the physical being, allowing this to
direct your way forward. Each stone assists in the way that is right for its user. It may adjust or amplify
energies, open channels and pathways at a soul, multi- or inter-dimensional level or bring about a
profound shift of attitude. Satyaloka Quartz is a supportive companion for those who experience the
loneliness of the spiritual path, reconnecting with the divine within everything and especially yourself.

HEALING Amplifies the energy of other healing stones and infuses the physical and subtle bodies with
transformational energy rather than working directly on the physical level of being, effecting
multidimensional vibrational healing.

POSITION Meditate with the stone on the crown chakra or place as appropriate.

COMPANION STONE
Satyamani Quartz complements Satyaloka Quartz, uniting the divine masculine and feminine energies
and further facilitating enlightenment, and it is attuned to the golden flame of the illumined mind.
Satyamani and Satyaloka work in harmony with Nirvana Quartz and are particularly effective triangulated
around the subtle bodies with Nirvana Quartz at the higher crown chakras (especially the soul star
chakra).

SOURCE Seriphos Island (Greece)

ATTRIBUTES Seriphos Quartz performs etheric surgery, cauterizing etheric blueprint wounds, removing
cysts and encrustations. Ideal for prosperity rituals, it connects to nature, making you feel at home on
earth and in the body. Facilitating transitions of all kinds, it harmonizes extremes. Activating an intuitive

 QUARTZ: SHAMAN QUARTZ

COLOUR White with green and/or orange-brown inclusions

APPEARANCE Clear crystal with internal layers, phantoms and canyons

RARITY Fairly easily obtained

SOURCE Brazil

ATTRIBUTES Shaman Quartz is a powerful journeying crystal that induces trance, visionary experience
and soul healings. Traversing its inner landscape allows you to bridge the worlds and journey through
multi-dimensions and timeframes. Shaman Quartz contains different minerals that assist communication
with the spirit realm: Chlorite Shaman Quartz has strong associations with Mother Earth and facilitates
healing journeys through nature; Chlorite assists with self-realization, provides support and cleanses the
past; visionary Fluorite provides protection and discernment; protective Rutile enhances out-of-body
journeying and pinpoints the karmic cause of a dis-ease; Hematite dissolves negativity, and grounds and
harmonizes body, mind and spirit; while Mica heightens the connection to your spiritual self, sharpens
intuitive perception and gets to the bottom of things.
Shaman Quartz high in Chlorite works well in the north-west of the medicine wheel (see Awakening
Crystals), the place of habits, patterns and routines. Clearing cellular memory and healing the present-life
ancestral line, it opens the way for changes in your life and the family. Showing how innate patterns were
formed and passed down the family, and how you have carried the ancestral pattern through your life, it
teaches how to have compassion for yourself and the family, find the gifts and break away to set future
generations free.
Mentally, Shaman Quartz with Rutile is helpful for problem-solving or obtaining answers. Set out your
problem in your mind, gaze into the stone and ask to journey to see the solution. Be aware that you may
hear rather than see the response and that it could be presented as a later, external signal.
Environmentally, by absorbing negativity and environmental pollutants, Shaman Quartz clears a build-
up of stagnant energy anywhere in the subtle bodies or environment. This stone removes energy
implants, accessing their source in any lifetime.

HEALING Works best on the subtle levels of being rather than the physical, but is a useful anti-viral held
over the thymus at the first sign of cold or flu.

POSITION Hold or place as appropriate.

 QUARTZ: SHIFT CRYSTAL

COLOUR White or colourless

APPEARANCE Multi-faceted, bladed and indented with inner spaces

RARITY Rare and may be confused with Nirvana Quartz

SOURCE Russia, Pakistan, Brazil

ATTRIBUTES Shift Crystal literally shifts you into a new space and accelerates spiritual growth, although
other stones may be needed to assimilate the changes. Spiritually, this stone takes you to a place of wild
abandon, leaving behind everything that fetters or restricts you, opening to a peak experience of bliss
and ultimate creativity. The perfect stone for meditation, manifestation and dreaming-up, you need to be
ready to accept whatever it offers, as there is no going back and the effects can be dramatic, traumatic
and overwhelming – it frequently, virtually instantaneously, shifts you on to your soul path, opens healing
potential and clears the evolutionary way forward. Whatever is outworn, outgrown or no longer serves in
your life, at any level, falls away under the influence of this catalytic stone.
When you are ready for such a profound change, meditate with the crystal for 20 minutes, asking to be
shown the way forward. Sleep with the stone under your pillow and place it under your chair or wear it
during the day. Be receptive to signals from the universe and make the choice to respond appropriately.
Psychologically, one of the most profound lessons that a Shift Crystal teaches is that of emotional
independence and personal autonomy. It brings about the realization that you alone are responsible for
creating your well-being and happiness. Such a sense is an inner state that is not dependent on any
external source, including a partner or loved one. Only you can maintain it.
Physically, Shift Crystal greatly amplifies Reiki healing, strengthening healer and patient, and carries
the symbols during and after a session or reprogrammes cellular memory.

HEALING Works beyond the physical level of being to bring about soul evolution and multi-dimensional
cellular healing.

POSITION Hold or use over the heart, higher heart, third eye, crown and higher crown chakras.

NOTE ‘Shift Crystals’ from Brazil have energy similar to Nirvana Quartz.

beneficial for throat infections, stomach ulcers, inflammation, sunburn and a stiff neck or muscles.

COLOUR Clear

APPEARANCE Clear Quartz, may have black spot inclusions, often double terminated

RARITY Easily obtained

SOURCE China, Himalayas

ATTRIBUTES Energetically combining Herkimer and Tibetan Quartz, and carrying an extremely high
vibration that integrates spirit and matter, Sichuan Quartz connects the third eye and crown chakras and
rapidly opens psychic and inner vision to bring about an illumined mind.
Spiritually attuned to the white flame of pure consciousness, this stone enhances telepathy and soul
communication and clears chakra blockages. Karmically beneficial and insightful if held by a healer or
past-life therapist while working with a client, Sichuan Quartz accesses the Akashic Record, putting you
in touch with ancient Chinese or Buddhist wisdom. In karmic healing, it highlights the past-life reasons for
dis-ease or karmic lessons in the present life, illuminating the gifts within the experience and breaking
outgrown connections.
Emotionally, Sichuan Quartz is particularly helpful for breaking the patterns that lie behind dependent
or co-dependent relationships and it pinpoints the causes of psychosomatic disease. Helpful in
ascertaining the psychological patterns that underlie eating disorders, it brings about deep healing of the
biomagnetic sheath and the etheric blueprint from which the present physical body devolved. It instigates
profound physical healing, but may need support from other stones.
Sichuan Quartz is usually a double-terminated stone that radiates or absorbs energy at both ends
simultaneously. These crystals are useful in healing as they absorb negativity and break ingrained habits,
which assists in overcoming addictions. Sichuans integrate previously blocked parts of the self. During
healing, Sichuan Quartz harmonizes the subtle bodies with the physical and bridges energy gaps along
the chakra line, assisting in centring within your Self. This rarified and yet earthed Quartz has a strongly
grounded energy that passes into the body and the personal self, restructuring cells and boundaries.

HEALING Realigns energy meridians and stimulates cellular memory, bringing about multi-dimensional
healing.

protection. Smoky Amethyst assists in contacting the highest possible spiritual energies and then
grounds that spiritual energy into the body. This is the perfect stone for clearing entities, unwanted
influences or attachments of any kind, especially when held at the third eye, as the Smoky Quartz heals
and seals the biomagnetic sheath and calls in beneficial influences to protect the soul once the spirit has
been sent to the light by the Amethyst. Protecting against psychic attack, inappropriate prayers or
thought forms and guarding against alien invasion, Smoky Amethyst repels negative energy, calling in
positive vibrations.
Emotionally, by contacting guides and angelic helpers, this stone assists disconnection between those
who have previously made a mystic marriage and are still intertwined at the higher spiritual chakras.
Physically, Smoky Amethyst amplifies and directs sound healing, creating a two-way flow of energy.
The combination is beneficial for a wide range of conditions.

environment or the body and transmutes it. It creates a protective shield, and the Rose Quartz portion
then fills the inner space with pure unconditional love. This is the perfect stone to place on an altar or in
the centre of the medicine wheel (see Awakening Crystals). Activating a cosmic anchor, the Smoky
portion of the stone anchors your energy in the earth’s core and the Rose portion aligns it to the galactic
centre, creating an inner-core energy solidity that enables riding out earth-energy changes and
perturbations.

perfect companion for anyone who suffers from fear of death or dying, for which it should be placed by
the bed or under the pillow.

material things. Promoting self-awareness, it purifies and cleanses the biomagnetic sheath. In business,
it focuses goals and plans. In grids, ‘Citrine’ Spirit Quartz protects a house against electromagnetic smog

insight into everyday life. Strongly protective with powerful cleansing properties, it assists integration. A
most effective psychopomp conveying a soul safely to the next world, it cleanses the subtle bodies,
removing karmic and emotional debris, and reprogrammes cellular memory, ensuring a good rebirth.
Beneficial for any work that entails visiting the underworld or exploring the subconscious mind, it
cleanses and releases deeply held emotions and states of dis-ease or traumatic memories, including
those that have passed down the ancestral line. Such work should be carried out under guidance as it
may induce catharsis. This stone stabilizes and purifies environmental imbalance or pollution, no matter
what the cause.

 QUARTZ: STAR HOLLANDITE QUARTZ

COLOUR White

APPEARANCE Tiny six-pointed stars included within a Quartz point

RARITY Rare

SOURCE South Africa and worldwide

ATTRIBUTES Spiritually, Star Hollandite takes you into the oneness of all things and ultimate stillness. A

Drawing off negative energy at the physical and mental levels, it creates calm acceptance and inner
watchfulness. This stone helps in realizing the breadth of your being and offers the solace of knowing

the stars for comfort and advice.
The stars within the crystal are Geothite, a mineral that attunes to the notes of the earth and stars,
bringing deeper contact with earth energies. Resonating to 44, the number of metamorphosis, Geothite
facilitates clairaudience and metaphysical abilities. Powerfully attuned to the healing power of nature, it
enhances dowsing abilities. Contacting the devas and the anima terra, soul of the earth, this stone makes

communication. Engraved with indentations that act like a star map, Starseed assists you during
meditation in discovering which star your spirit is associated with and your earth mission. It re-attunes to
your star group and the collective purpose of the group, ameliorating homesickness. It can break the
ancestral-line patterns that hold you in thrall, allowing you to be fully your Self.
Spiritually, this crystal carries the energy of Green Tara, Buddhist goddess of compassion, and takes
you to a Shamballa-like state, incorporating exceptional clarity and pure form within an infinity of being.
There is nothing to do in this state except to be.
Psychologically, this crystal highlights forks in the road and shows that apparent mistakes carry the
seeds of soul growth, shifting you from the perspective of the personality to that of the soul. As with all
etched crystals, Starseed can be read to rediscover ancient knowledge and the soul’s purpose in
incarnating in the present life.
In karmic or physical healing, Starseed Quartz connects to the blueprint that controls the etheric
blueprint and realigns to your optimum pattern.
In conjunction with Sugar Blade Quartz, Starseed awakens the third eye, soma, soul star and stellar
gateway chakras and activates the unmanifest, bringing your heart and soul into unity. It provides
profound healing for metaphysical abilities blocked in previous lives.

HEALING Works beyond the physical levels of being by realigning the etheric blueprint to the original,
pure blueprint, so that it manifests physical perfection.

over the spleen chakra. It cuts drains on multi-dimensional energy and overcomes psychic vampirism. It
severs ties with previous partners or mentors who retain a powerful mental or emotional hold despite
physical separation.

248
Flame Aura Quartz, Titanium (Rutile) and niobium on Quartz, is a powerful initiation tool. It brings about
a multi-dimensional energy shift, drawing kundalini energy up the spine and through the subtle bodies,
adjusting its effect to provide what each soul needs for evolution. Harmonizing planets on an astrological
chart, it assists in ‘reading’ people at an energetic and subtle level.

deep meditative awareness. By integrating the lightbody into the physical dimensions it grounds new
vibrations.

dynamic energy that works on the pineal gland and heart chakra to transmute deeply held doubts about
self-worth and give the gift of unconditional love of your Self. It imbues the whole body with love,

 QUARTZ: VERA CRUZ AMETHYST

COLOUR Very light lavender

APPEARANCE Light and clear; may have phantoms

RARITY Rare

SOURCE Mexico

ATTRIBUTES An extremely high-vibration stone attuned to the transmutational violet flame, ethereal
Vera Cruz Amethyst works with the etheric blueprint and subtle DNA to bring about profound inter-
dimensional cellular healing. An effective stone for purification, particularly at the spiritual level, it
removes imprints and attachments of all kinds. A protective stone, it facilitates safe out-of-body
experiences and spiritual journeying.
Spiritually, this particular Amethyst instantly takes you into an alpha-combined with theta-brainwave
state, facilitating meditation, trance and divination skills. When held to the soma or third eye chakras, it
dreams a new world into being. A powerful tool for shamanic working at high levels, when placed on the
soul star chakra this stone accesses the vibratory planes where souls meet and merge in oneness. Vera
Cruz Amethyst activates and cleanses all the chakras, especially the third eye and crown or higher crown
chakras, and aligns them to the lightbody through the soul star.
Psychologically, it is useful for understanding and reframing the causes of addictions, and in particular
assists spiritual obsession, especially within the subtle bodies or stemming from a past-life cause. Vera
Cruz is helpful in breaking the cycle of co-dependency that occurs within addictions. It helps carers and
enablers realize that they can neither ‘do it for’ the addict, nor control an addict’s behaviour. This stone
assists in standing back, loving unconditionally and allowing the other soul to take its own journey. It
breaks a dependency on being the ‘caretaker’ – needing to be needed – or being the one who is ‘cared-
for’, a karmic dynamic that underlies co-dependent relationships. Vera Cruz teaches that addictions are a
search for the wholeness and immersion in spirit that communication with the divine brings about.
Facilitating the expansion of self that the addict seeks in a more constructive way than is possible with
drink, drugs or any other dependency, this stone helps the soul to express its gifts fully.

HEALING Works beyond the physical level of being to heal the lightbody, but effects profound cellular
healing and supports in overcoming addictions.

 RUTILE
ALSO KNOWN AS TITANIUM

COLOUR Reddish orange-brown

APPEARANCE Metallic crystalline, often fine included needles

RARITY Easily obtained

SOURCE Africa, Australia

ATTRIBUTES Rutile imparts an ethereal vibration to any crystal in which it is included, enhancing out-of-
body journeying and angelic contact through its attunement to the divine. Nevertheless, it is not an airy-
fairy crystal when accelerating spiritual growth; it goes immediately to the heart of a matter and insists
you deal with it.
Spiritually, Rutile fine-tunes intuition, pinpointing possible pitfalls in your path before you find them and
highlighting the most productive choices to make. Often found included within Quartz (Angel’s Hair), it
integrates higher vibrations into the lightbody.
Psychologically, Rutile heals psychosomatic dis-ease, going directly to the root of a problem. It
pinpoints karmic causes of chronic illness and reprogrammes cellular memory. Placed on the sacral
chakra or dantien, Rutile counteracts sexual problems that have a past-life cause, bringing the reasons
for those conditions into conscious awareness for reframing and release. (Guidance from a qualified
therapist assists the process.)
Emotionally, Rutile stabilizes relationships of all kinds by creating emotional fidelity and grounding
higher chakra connections.
Environmentally, Rutile holds the earth’s grid stable, restoring its cellular memory, and is extremely
useful in healing grids. It radiates power down the song-lines of the earth. This stone strongly activates
the earth section of a cosmic anchor, holding you aligned between the earth’s core and the galactic
centre and enabling you to ground high-vibrational energy downloads and pass them on to the earth. If
included in Quartz, this stone also opens the galactic portion of the cosmic anchor.
A powerful cleansing crystal, Rutile protects and purifies the biomagnetic sheath, bringing it into
balance with the physical body.

HEALING Beneficial for lactation, cellular memory, elasticity of blood vessels, cell regeneration,
bronchitis, premature ejaculation, impotence, frigidity and inorgasmia.

healing and on the earth chakra to activate a cosmic anchor.

RARITY Certain colours are rare

SOURCE Madagascar, United States, Norway, Italy, Mexico

ATTRIBUTES A stone of self-discipline stimulating independence and achievable goals based on

objective mental planning rather than wish-fulfilment, Scapolite overcomes inertia and self-sabotage,
induces transformation and provides the clarity to see what is needed.
Psychologically, this stone clears scapegoating, no matter how subtle, blocking any outside influence
that is sabotaging your life. It enables speaking to an inner saboteur or scapegoat, ascertaining what role
that figure believes it has in your life – usually something you have outgrown that is no longer appropriate
– and aligning the figure to assist your current lifeplan. Scapolite then propels you out of spiritual inertia
and into dynamic action.
Mentally, Scapolite is useful for effecting conscious change. It frees up the left side of the brain,
increasing analytic ability. This is the perfect stone to carry if you have dyslexia. Emotionally, Scapolite
removes self-blame. It rejigs the emotional blueprint, clearing the effects of old emotional trauma.
Physically an effective unblocker, Scapolite facilitates the release of ‘stuck’ energy from the body,
especially in the legs and veins.

HEALING Assists post-operative recovery and stimulates cellular memory and calcium assimilation. It is
said to unblock varicose veins, cataracts and glaucoma, assist with bone disorders and the shoulders,
calm restless eyes and overcome incontinence.

SPECIFIC COLOURS
Blue Scapolite is extremely calming, cutting through confusion and assisting in going deep within the
Self to find the source of problems from this or another life.

Purple Scapolite is an extremely high-vibration stone that takes you back to a state of oneness that
wipes out soul memory of being alienated, scapegoated or sabotaged, clearing past life patterns and
inner voices that may be sabotaging your life now. This powerful stone lifts your awareness out of the

256
mire and assists evolution.

Yellow Scapolite clears mental sabotage, manipulation and thoughts such as ‘I’m not good enough’ that
hold you back from achieving your full potential, enabling taking decisions from an objective perspective.
Physically, it calms hyperactivity.

Septarian assists in repatterning and reprogramming, and directs the practitioner to the most appropriate
tools.

Mentally this joyous stone provides support while you incubate ideas and assists in manifesting them,
inculcating patience, tolerance and endurance. Conversely, if you have ideas but never put them into
practice, it concretizes your creativity. Septarian is a useful support during public speaking as it assists in
making each individual within an audience feel that they are being personally addressed. Septarian also
enhances your ability to communicate within a group.
Emotionally nourishing and calming, Septarian is a useful tool for self-nurturing and for caring about
others. Healers can meditate with Septarian for insight into the cause of dis-ease. This stone is extremely
helpful in focusing the body’s healing ability and facilitates flexibility of physical movement.
Physically, Septarian detects and rebalances blockages in the body – it is often found in an egg-
shaped nodule that confines and shapes energy physically. If the stone has a pointed end, it is a useful
reflexology or acupressure tool. Septarian eggs make perfect ‘hand comforters’ to use in times of stress.

HEALING Beneficial for seasonal affective disorder (SAD), self-healing, skin disorders, cellular memory
and metabolism; reduces swelling and growths. It supports the intestines, kidneys, blood and heart.

 SHIVA LINGAM

COLOUR Red and beige or grey

APPEARANCE Smooth, opaque phallic shape

RARITY Natural ones are rare

SOURCE India; may be artificially shaped and polished

ATTRIBUTES Symbolizing the Hindu god Shiva’s union with his consort Kali and activating the base and
sacral chakras, a Shiva Lingam raises and controls kundalini energy. It is perfect for facilitating spiritual
evolution through tantra or sexual magick. A symbol of sexuality and potent male energy, this stone has
been sacred for thousands of years. It facilitates the union of opposites, such as masculine and feminine
or body and soul, and is excellent for sexual healing.
Imparting psychological insight, Shiva Lingam facilitates looking within to release all that you have
outgrown. This stone is particularly useful for emotional pain that arises from early childhood, especially
from sexual abuse, as it reinstates trust in male energy and in your own male qualities and can draw a
sexual-healing partner to you.
Suitably programmed (see Awakening Crystals), a Shiva Lingam severs subtle etheric sexual
connection after a relationship has ceased and removes hooks from the vagina or uterus, re-energizing
the base chakras and opening the way for a new relationship. It is the perfect stone for creating a self-
loving ritual to reclaim femininity and female power.

HEALING Beneficial for overcoming sexual mortification or abuse, infertility, impotence, inorgasmia and
menstrual cramps. It stimulates the electrical flow in systems of the body and subtle meridians.

journeying. Holding profound esoteric wisdom, Spectrolite takes you into other lives, removing psychic
debris from previous disappointments or ill-wishing and strengthening your trust in the universe. A stone
of transformation, it prepares body and soul for ascension. Wearing it prevents energy leakage or
vampirization of the biomagnetic sheath or spleen chakra, especially by a discarnate spirit. Enhancing
psychic vision, this stone filters the third eye and deflects unwanted energies or information from
impinging on you. Spectrolite removes other people’s projections, including thought forms hooked into
the biomagnetic sheath, soma chakra or third eye.
Psychologically, Spectrolite banishes insecurities and fears, and brings out your strengths. Mentally,
Spectrolite balances analysis and rationality with inner sight. Emotionally, this stone increases empathy
and acceptance of individual difference and shows why people choose to evolve through challenging
lifescripts.

Bytownite (Golden Yellow Labradorite) accesses the highest levels of consciousness and facilitates
metaphysical gifts and visualization, opening a blocked third eye. By expanding the mental body and

dependency – or an enabler unable to let someone learn their life lessons or who unconsciously wants to
prolong dependency. Useful for overcoming indecision, this stone works on the etheric blueprint to assist
the stomach, spleen, liver, gall bladder and adrenal glands.

260

RARITY Easily obtained

SOURCE Japan, Romania, United States, China

ATTRIBUTES Uniting the base, sacral, soma and solar plexus chakras and forming a perfect holding
space, Stibnite creates an energetic shield around the physical body and is a useful stone for journeying
as it protects during travel and then brings the soul home to the physical body.
Spiritually, when used as a wand with focused intention, this stone separates out the pure from the
dross and is an efficient tool for releasing entity possession or negative energy. Used wisely, it can attract
all you desire, but ensure that this is what you really need for your highest good.

Emotionally, Stibnite assists in eliminating tentacles from clingy relationships that penetrate the subtle
or physical bodies, especially after physical separation. It assists in tie-cutting rituals and past-life
releases and is particularly useful in situations where you find it difficult to say no to a former partner –
although having cut a tie may stimulate a situation that tests if the cutting is complete and you can indeed
stand your ground. If so, hold the crystal and focus your awareness to ensure success.

HEALING Helpful for cellular memory, the oesophagus and stomach and for dissolving rigidity, cold
sores and infection.

POSITION Hold, grid or place as appropriate.

peaceful stone aligned to the pink flame of pure love, Tugtupite has the rare quality of tenebrescence,
meaning that on exposure to sun or ultra-violet light, or on being worn or held, its white or pale pink
colour deepens to crimson. It fluoresces bright red under ultra-violet light.
Inuit legend says that Tutu, a reindeer girl, went into the mountains to give birth and where her
precious, life-giving blood fell, Tugtupite was formed. The Inuit also say that this stone awakens forgotten
love and intensifies libido and lovers’ passion, causing the stone to glow fiery red. One of the best stones
for opening and cleansing the heart chakras, especially the heart seed, this stone signifies romance,
passion and fertility. It deepens and expands love, bringing an unconditional quality to all relationships,
and aligns and integrates all the chakras with the heart and higher heart chakras so that love is
expressed through every act and thought.
Spiritually, when placed over the higher heart chakra of someone whose vibrations have been raised
sufficiently, Tugtupite acts like a shaman blowing into the chakra to awaken the dormant channel that
connects the compassionate heart to higher states of consciousness. It literally accesses a new level of
love to facilitate the vibrational shift and the birth of the lightbody in the everyday world.
A strongly protective stone that equips you to face difficult situations with equanimity and fearlessness,
Tugtupite acts as a liver-defender to block other people’s rage or resentment (place under the right
armpit) as it neutralizes anger and cuts off inappropriate tugs on your heart strings (wear over your
heart). It draws out and transforms your own anger into creative energy and is the perfect stone to assist
recovery from a ‘psychic mugging’. This stone also clears hooks from any organ of the body – especially
the pancreas and stomach – attached to a needy outside source and is particularly effective when used
with Nuummite to cut cords from past lives. Tugtupite removes the effect of old relationships and clears
the biomagnetic sheath of the residual effects of psychological or physical abuse. Used for spirit-release
in cases of emotional attachment, it encourages forgiveness for yourself and others involved.

270
 Psychologically, Tugtupite promotes forgiveness, compassion and unconditional love, especially of
yourself, and promotes the ability to give of oneself without falling into sacrifice or martyrdom. It also
strengthens conscience and assists in resolving ethical dilemmas. The soft energy of Tugtupite is perfect
for ameliorating anxiety and stress and releases poverty consciousness, bringing abundance on all
levels.
Mentally, Tugtupite facilitates a tuning into universal consciousness, bringing increased clarity and
breadth of vision to the illumined mind. Tugtupite teaches emotional independence and autonomy,
bringing about the realization that you alone are responsible for creating and maintaining your well-being
and happiness, and that this is not dependent on any external source, including a partner or loved one.
This stone protects from emotional blackmail, providing the strength to cut loose and overcome outside
interference. Keep this stone close to your heart as it assists emotional honesty and intimacy. It may take
you through a deep emotional catharsis, releasing the grief of the ages for the planet and yourself.
Tugtupite reminds you how to love, gently clearing away any blockages, opening your heart and
enfolding it in unconditional, universal love. Love then blossoms in your life.
Environmentally, this is the perfect stone to send unconditional love to the world, healing war zones
and sites of ethnic conflict.

HEALING Purifies blood, stabilizes blood pressure and heals the heart; regulates metabolism and
hormone production; increases fertility. Lifts depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

POSITION Place over the heart or under the right armpit for protection, or as appropriate. Tugtupite is

271
particularly effective worn constantly over the higher heart chakra.

NOTE Avoid harsh abrasives or salt. Synthetic Tugtupite is now being manufactured, but has few healing
qualities.

272
 TUGTUPITE WITH NUUMMITE

COLOUR Pale yellowish matrix with flashes of pink, red and black

APPEARANCE Mottled and speckled

RARITY Rare

SOURCE Greenland

ATTRIBUTES This powerful combination brings together the loving strength of Tugtupite with the
awesome protective power of Nuummite, creating an impenetrable shield that, paradoxically, both
facilitates and assimilates vibrational change. Assuring, ‘I’ll stick with you whatever’, this combination
offers psychological strength and protection from within your heart against outside influence of any kind
and assists in healing heartbreak and abandonment.
Psychologically, this combination is particularly helpful for reversing the effects of an unsafe or
deprived childhood, whether that was from physical, emotional or mental abuse or benign neglect.
Offering a sense of paternal safety that facilitates fathering yourself, and anchoring that deep in your
core, this combination assists in standing in your compassionate heart imbued with unconditional love
and forgiveness for all concerned.
An extremely effective spirit-release tool where a discarnate spirit or incarnate parent is tugging at the
heart strings trying to retain emotional control allegedly ‘for your own good’, this combination is also
helpful when prayers are being said that interfere with your autonomy. Tugtupite encourages forgiveness
and insightful communication and Nuummite severs old connections so that unconditional love flows into
your heart and provides a shield. Particularly useful when you are in victim mode, teaching how to
become a strong survivor instead, the combination helps to explain why the connection and manipulation
are no longer relevant and assures the other person that you are now strong enough to stand up for
yourself. This combination gets in touch with the love at the centre of the universe, expressing that to
everything within it. It dissolves the effects of sorcery in the present or any other life, creating a protective
shield around your heart.

HEALING Works best at the subtle levels of being to release emotional wounds and to cut off from the
past. When held, it instils a profound feeling of safety and the ability to cope.

273
POSITION Hold or position as appropriate. Wear for as long as possible over the heart. Grid in a Star of
David in the environment to facilitate vibrational change in the earth’s energy field.

NOTE If the combined stone is not available, use individual Tugtupite and Nuummite stones placed
together.

274
 URANOPHANE

COLOUR Orange-yellow

APPEARANCE Hair-like crystals carried on a matrix

RARITY Rare

SOURCE Zaire, Germany, United States, Czech Republic, Germany, Australia, France, Italy

ATTRIBUTES This radioactive crystal is not for prolonged use or general healing. Under the supervision
of a suitably qualified practitioner it can support nuclear-based medicine and radiation therapy and acts
as a homoeopathic catalyst, releasing karmic, environmental and soul damage caused by previous
radiation. Uranophane subtly realigns the vibrations of the biomagnetic sheath so that the energy shifts
are assimilated into the physical and etheric bodies.

HEALING Said to be useful for tumours and radiation damage.

POSITION Grid and place with caution around the subtle bodies. Keep wrapped in foil with Malachite
alongside.

275
 USSINGITE

COLOUR Lavender-violet, purple, pinky-beige, dark red

APPEARANCE Mottled opaque stone

RARITY Rare

SOURCE Greenland, Russia, Canada

ATTRIBUTES Ussingite is a colour-specific stone, the light, bright violet and purple forms being high-
vibrational and the murky pinky-beige carrying a much denser vibration with a completely different effect.
Spiritually, ethereal violet Ussingite emanates serenity and vibrates at the frequency of spiritual
purification. By opening an expanded state of awareness and forming an access point to celestial crystals
in other dimensions, violet Ussingite instantly creates a vibrational shift in the frequency of the subtle
bodies, awakening the lightbody and bringing it into alignment with the Higher Self. This colour opens the
higher crown chakras and spiritual vision, and acts as a communicator with the angelic realms and spirit
guides so that actions are guided by spiritual wisdom and people are irresistibly attracted to you. The
deeper and denser Russian purple Ussingite takes you travelling through multi-dimensions and, although
it does not reach the highest frequencies of ethereal violet Ussingite, it brings some high frequencies into
form.

Pinky-beige Ussingite awakens the unawakened soul, but conversely, in those who have made the
vibrational shift, pulls back to a denser vibration, closing the connection with higher frequencies. With an
unawakened soul, it brings about a shift that is sufficient for the soul to realize that work is required to
rectify karmic deficiencies, ingrained beliefs – no matter how spiritual these may appear – and

276
behaviours that are holding it back from spiritual progression. However, pinky-beige Ussingite cannot
assist that soul in instantly shifting to the highest vibrations.
Pinky-beige Ussingite facilitates emotional independence and autonomy, stimulating the realization
that you alone are responsible for creating and maintaining well-being and happiness. All Ussingite
assists in clearing the ties to anyone on whom you are over-dependent or co-dependent.

Deep red Ussingite dissolves blockages in the base and sacral chakras, neutralizing old anger, and
awakens these chakras to an inflooding of kundalini energy that creates a level of profound sexual
sharing and personal creativity not previously available to the soul. If a stone combining violet and red is
placed on the dantien, it purifies, re-energizes and attunes to the universal kundalini force.

HEALING Works best beyond the physical vibration to heal the soul and the lightbody; supports the liver
and blood purification and stabilizes blood pressure.

POSITION Wear or place as appropriate.

COMBINATION STONES
Ussingite with Tugtupite is a useful combination to open and protect the heart seed chakra at the base
of the breastbone. It clears past-life connections and outgrown soul contracts, facilitating lodging the
Higher Self energies within the heart and linking it to the pink flame of universal heart. Use to support the
soul in anchoring itself fully in incarnation.

277
Ussingite in Sodalite enhances the ability of Sodalite to harness logic to intuition and anchor the higher
mind into the physical, enabling you to view matters from the perspective of an illumined mind. It
highlights and removes any ingrained spiritual beliefs that no longer serve you.

278
 VIVIANITE

COLOUR Deep green or blue (tarnishes on contact with air)

APPEARANCE Small, transparent or metallic clusters or blades in matrix; crystals are sometimes bent

RARITY Can be expensive

SOURCE Germany, United States, Brazil

ATTRIBUTES Vivianite works with the third eye to sharpen intuition and to act as a guide during travel
through the multi-dimensional planes of reality. Spiritually, it accesses your core soul purpose and assists
in seeing what has formerly been obscured. A layered stone, it is helpful for working on several levels at
once as the energy goes out in waves. If anyone has been hampering your vision, Vivianite clears the
veils from your eyes and enables true seeing. Use it to recognize what you have been refusing to see in
yourself or in others and to heal inner sight. This stone can also assist in coming to terms with having
seen the unseeable or the unacceptable.
Vibrant Vivianite is a useful auric cleanser as it pulls out excess stimulation and negative energy,
replacing it with peace and calm. This stone reverses the spin of the crown chakra if required, creating a
base note and connecting to the subtle body of the earth to hold you gently in incarnation. This stone is
the perfect adjunct to healing visualizations and to ritual working at a distance as it brings the souls
together to enhance the effect.
Psychologically, Vivianite assists with dreamwork, reworking a dream creatively to provide healing and
insight. This stone assists in setting and attaining realistic goals and imparts the strength to carry on
through adversity, making life appear stimulating and challenging rather than dreary. If you continually
make emotional projections or harbour illusions about the future, Vivianite encourages being in the
moment.
Emotionally, Vivianite is helpful for uncovering your deepest feelings and things you deny to yourself,
integrating your shadow. If your relationship needs a shake-up, Vivianite brings about revitalization.
Physically, it is an excellent healer for chronic eye conditions. Environmentally, as the crop-circle
stone, Vivianite links into earth energies and assists in reading crop markings and contacting the energy
behind the patterns. To integrate crop-circle energy into your life, meditate with Vivianite in the centre of a
circle or gaze into a photograph of a circle.

HEALING Beneficial for eyes, especially iritis, conjunctivitis or cataracts; assists spinal alignment, the
heart, liver, memory, vitality, cellular memory; removes free-radicals; aids the assimilation of iron.

POSITION Hold, grid or place as appropriate. If healing eyes, ensure the eye is closed and place the

279
stone on a sterile tissue.

280
 WAVELLITE

COLOUR Green

APPEARANCE Pearly, vitreous, roseate or radial crystalline needles

RARITY Not easily obtained

SOURCE United States, Bolivia, Britain

ATTRIBUTES Wavellite accesses deep core issues or a different perspective before allowing answers to
rise gently into awareness. Assisting in easily managing challenging situations, it clears trauma or abuse
arising from present or previous lives from the emotional body, facilitating deep soul healing, and
provides an overview of attitudes that led to dis-ease, reframing cellular memory. Physically, this stone
maintains health and well-being.

HEALING Benefits energy flow from the biomagnetic to the physical bodies and cellular memory: good
for blood flow, white-cell count and dermatitis.

POSITION Hold, grid or place as appropriate.

281
 YOUNGITE

COLOUR Orange-brown and white

APPEARANCE Tiny drusy crystals over a jasper matrix

RARITY Largely mined out

SOURCE United States

ATTRIBUTES A combination of Brecciated Jasper and Drusy Quartz, Youngite is a shamanic stone that
accesses different planes of consciousness, taking you to a space without thought where souls meet and
merge.
Spiritually, it links to multi-dimensions, supraconsciousness and All That Is. Youngite was traditionally
said to be the perfect stone for spiritual warriors and leaders as it lights the way forward and offers the
courage to stand up and be counted.
The Brecciated Jasper component of this stone heals mental stress, centres the mind and heightens
mental agility and rational thought, strengthening intellectual capability in difficult circumstances, while
the Drusy Quartz component enhances the ability to laugh at the most traumatic of events.
Psychologically effective for all inner-child work, Youngite reconnects to the joyous, innocent child that
lies within everyone and releases the creative possibilities that child offers. Healing wounds from
childhood and beyond, especially those held in the base and sacral chakras, it is helpful in soul-retrieval
as it gently coaxes back childish soul fragments that split off through trauma, joy, forward projection or
wishful thinking.

HEALING Works best beyond the physical level of being; excellent for inner-child healing and
ameliorating mental stress.

POSITION Hold, grid or place as appropriate.

282
 ZEBRA STONE

COLOUR Black, white, brown, pink, green

APPEARANCE Whorls, contour lines and bands of opaque stone

RARITY Fairly rare

SOURCE Madagascar, South Africa, India, Brazil

ATTRIBUTES An efficient grounding stone, Zebra Stone keeps you connected to the earth during
spiritual working. It teaches how to fully inhabit your body, with your feet firmly on the ground. Shaking
out apathy or disinterest, it fills you with zest for life and remotivates you towards goals.
Emotionally, this stone overcomes depression and anxiety. It provides powerful stimulation for artistic
creativity.

HEALING Brings vitality to the body and supports the blood; beneficial for bones and lymphatic flow.

POSITION Hold, grid or place as appropriate.

283
 ZIRCON

COLOUR Yellow, green, brown, red, orange

APPEARANCE Faceted gem or translucent, often double-pyramid

RARITY Not all colours are easily available

Australia, United States, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Canada (may be heat-treated to enhance colour or
SOURCE
be artificially produced)

ATTRIBUTES In ancient times Zircon was used to protect against robbery, lightning, bodily harm and
disease. Each colour resonates with a different chakra. Promoting unconditional love for yourself and
others, it harmonizes your spiritual nature with the earth and brings physical and subtle bodies into
alignment. It assists in recognizing that you are a spiritual being on a human journey, and highlights the
oneness from which all souls originated. This stone of psychological insight brings together opposites
and instils stamina and tenacity of purpose.
Mentally, Zircon enhances clear thinking and helps separate the significant from the unimportant.
Overcoming racism and prejudice, it teaches the brotherhood of humanity and clears from the emotional
body the imprint of discrimination, victimization, homophobia and misogyny in this or any other life.
Emotionally, Zircon teaches constancy. Known as a stone of virtue, traditionally it was a test for
celibacy. Overcoming jealousy and possessiveness, it promotes letting go of old love and opening to
new.

HEALING Beneficial for synergy, sciatica, cramp, insomnia, depression, bones, muscles, vertigo, the
liver, menstrual irregularity.

POSITION Hold, grid or place as appropriate.

NOTE Zircon may cause dizziness in those who wear pacemakers or are epileptic. Cubic Zircon has
considerably diluted powers.

SPECIFIC COLOURS
Brown Zircon is useful for centring and grounding as it opens the earth chakra.

284
Red Zircon lends vitality to the body, particularly during periods of stress. Adding power to rituals for
creating wealth, it activates the base chakra and libido.

Orange Zircon is an efficient talisman for use during travelling as it protects against injury. This stone
increases beauty and guards against jealousy. It stimulates the sacral chakra and creativity.

Yellow Zircon assists in attracting success in business and love and heightens sexual energy. It lifts
depression and makes you more alert. This colour activates and cleanses the solar plexus chakra.

Green Zircon attracts abundance and stimulates the heart chakra.

 QUICK REFERENCE

In this section you will find essential information for working with your crystals, including how to
cleanse and activate them, chakra associations and diagrams of physical and subtle anatomy for
efficiently positioning crystals, plus details of the crystal medicine wheel. The Glossary helps with
unfamiliar terms, including crystal shapes. Instructions on how to finger dowse will also help you to
select appropriate stones.
These pages will also show you how to make a gem essence, if you don’t already know how to do
so. Gem essences are an excellent way to use crystal energy. Sprayed around a room, rubbed on the
wrist or over an organ, or used as instructed by a qualified crystal healer or essence therapist, these
gentle energetic essences work subtly to effect change, usually at an emotional or psychological level
but they are also efficient space clearers and energy enhancers.

AWAKENING CRYSTALS
Crystals only work when they have been activated. But first they need purifying – and afterwards they will
require regular cleansing to keep them working at optimum efficiency.

CLEANSING YOUR CRYSTAL

If your crystal is not soluble, friable or layered, hold it under running water for a few minutes and then
place in sunlight or moonlight for a few hours to re-energize and recharge it. Delicate crystals can be
cleansed in raw brown rice, or with sound, light or a smudge stick. Salt can be used if the crystal is not
layered, friable or delicate. Carnelian cleanses and recharges other crystals if stored with them. You can
also buy purpose-made crystal cleansers.

ACTIVATING YOUR CRYSTAL

Hold your crystal in your hands, concentrate on it and say out loud, ‘I dedicate this crystal to the highest
good of all who come into contact with it.’ If you would like to ‘programme’ the crystal for a specific
purpose, state clearly what that is.

STORING YOUR CRYSTAL

As delicate stones can easily be damaged, it is sensible to keep them in a bag when they are not in use
or on display. If you do display stones, remember that strong sunlight quickly fades colours.

CHOOSING YOUR CRYSTAL

You can either choose a crystal to which you are instantly attracted, look up a crystal’s properties to
ensure it does what you require or use a pendulum to dowse or the finger-dowse technique (see How to
Finger Dowse).

287
HOW TO FINGER DOWSE
Finger dowsing harnesses your innate bodily intuition to choose exactly the right crystal for your needs or
to answer questions.

1 Begin by looping your thumb and finger together as shown.

2 Slip your other thumb and finger through the loop and close together. Hold over a crystal or photograph. Ask your

288
 question.

3 Pull steadily. If the loop breaks, the answer to your question is no. If the loop holds, the answer to your question is yes.

MAKING A GEM ESSENCE

As crystals work by resonance, the vibration is easily transferred into spring water, making a gem
essence. First cleanse your crystal (see Awakening Crystals), then place it in a clean glass bowl. Cover
with pure spring water. (If the crystal is toxic, layered, soluble or fragile use the indirect method, placing it
in a clean glass bowl, then placing this bowl in the bowl of water.) Leave in the sun or moonlight for 6–12
hours. Remove the crystal. Add two-thirds brandy or cider vinegar as a preservative. Bottle in a clean
glass bottle – this is a mother tincture and needs further dilution.

USING THE GEM ESSENCE

To dilute the mother tincture before use, add seven drops of mother tincture to a small glass dropper
bottle, top up with one-third brandy to two-thirds water if taking by mouth or putting on the skin. If using
as an eye drop, do not add alcohol at any stage. Sip at regular intervals, rub on the skin or bathe affected
parts. A few drops of gem essence can be added to a spray bottle of water and spritzed around your
home or workspace, or added to your bath.

289
PHYSICAL AND SUBTLE ANATOMY
Knowing exactly where the internal organs and the subtle chakras, blueprints and energy meridians of
the body are positioned makes placing crystals for maximum effect an easy task.

PHYSICAL ANATOMY

290
SUBTLE ANATOMY: CHAKRAS AND BLUEPRINTS
1 HIGHER EARTH CHAKRA Above the feet; linkage point to earth’s etheric field
2 EARTH STAR CHAKRA Between the feet; linkage point to the earth

292
293
THE CRYSTAL MEDICINE WHEEL
Traditionally, the medicine wheel teaches the way to balance your life. It is worked in a clockwise
direction starting with the south, the place of coming into incarnation. While it is always best to work with
an experienced practitioner, the wheel can be used for personal healing and, if you are working alone,
the most effective way is to sit facing each direction in turn, holding the appropriate crystal and meditating
on a question connected to the energies of that direction and how they have affected your life.
You can also travel the paths between opposite directions to integrate the qualities associated with
those directions, such as the path between the south-west (the dream and the way your life is) and the
north-east (which helps in understanding the choices you make and how you can facilitate them). The
crystals act as storehouses for the information and facilitate your journey to the cardinal and minor points.

CARDINAL POINTS AND DIRECTIONS

The cardinal points are south, west, north and east, and the minor directions are south-west, north-west,
north-east and south-east. Each direction has its specific energy and associations:

SOUTH
The close-to place

GENDER More feminine than masculine

SEASON Summer
ELEMENT Water – rain, river, ocean, lake, blood

CRYSTAL Smoky Candle Quartz

The south is where you are birthed. Placed here, Candle Quartz makes you feel good about yourself and
your body – it is useful for those who find physical incarnation challenging. Candle Quartz restores trust
and innocence, bringing healing to the hurt child within and helping in incarnating more fully, surrounded
by an aura of unconditional love. It heals the ancestral line and your karmic inheritance. Highlighting soul
purpose and focusing the life path, Candle Quartz facilitates putting ancient knowledge into practice and
brings the totems closer. It assists in understanding how the physical body can be damaged by emotional
or mental distress.

SOUTH-WEST
The place of dreams

CRYSTAL Selenite

In the south-west, Selenite takes you into the place of dreams and dreaming. It reaches other lives and is
useful for checking on progress made and for accessing the life plan for the present life from the
between-life state. Pinpointing lessons and issues that are still being worked upon, it shows how they can
best be resolved.

TOTEMS Panther/jaguar, owl, crow
CRYSTAL Smoky Quartz

The west is the place of death and going within. Smoky Quartz teaches how to leave behind anything
that no longer serves and it accompanies you through the gates of death into the otherworld and rebirth.
One of the most efficient grounding and cleansing stones available, this protective stone has a strong link
with the earth, promoting concern for the environment and suggesting ecological solutions. Alleviating
ambivalence about being in incarnation, Smoky Quartz helps in tolerating difficult times with equanimity,
fortifying resolve. It assists acceptance of the physical body and the sexual nature, enhancing virility and
cleansing the base chakra so that passion flows naturally.

NORTH-WEST
The place of habits, patterns and routines

CRYSTAL Chlorite Phantom Quartz (Shaman Quartz)

This is the place where the habits of the past must be challenged. Shaman Quartz assists in clearing
cellular memory and healing the present-life ancestral line, opening the way for changes to occur.
Absorbing negativity and environmental pollutants, this stone clears a build-up of stagnant energy
anywhere in the body or environment. This stone assists with the removal of energy implants, accessing
their source in this or any other lifetime. Chlorite has strong associations with nature and with Mother
Earth.

296
 NORTH
The knowing place

GENDER More masculine than feminine

HUMAN ASPECT Mind: heart-mind, thinking-mind, functioning-mind, small-mind
HUMAN SHIELD Adult – world view
ALLY Balance, knowledge, wisdom
ENEMY Knowledge without wisdom
PLANETARY CONNECTION The stars
TOTEMS Wolf, horse, buffalo
CRYSTAL Quartz

In the north, Quartz helps to focus and integrate different levels of the mind, facilitating inner wisdom and
taking a wider perspective on life. It enhances metaphysical abilities and attunes to spiritual purpose,
bringing about a balance between heart, mind, body and soul. A master healer for any condition, multi-
dimensional cellular memory repairer and efficient receptor for programming (see Awakening Crystals),
Clear Quartz works on all levels of being and has the ability to dissolve karmic seeds (the patterns and
imprints from former lives that may become activated and result in dis-ease, relationships or events in the
present life).

297
 NORTH-EAST
The place of choices

CRYSTAL Amethyst

In the north-east, Amethyst facilitates the decision-making process, bringing in common sense and
spiritual insights, and also improves motivation, making you more able to set realistic goals and put
decisions and insights into practice. It assists in the assimilation of new ideas and connects cause with
effect. Amethyst balances out highs and lows, aiding emotional and spiritual centring.

EAST
The sees-far place

GENDER Masculine

298
SEASON Spring
ELEMENT Fire
WORLD Human
TIME Beyond time
COLOUR Yellow/gold – the morning star
HUMAN ASPECT Spirit
HUMAN SHIELD Magical child – inspiration
ALLY Illumination, enlightenment, beauty, pure pleasure
ENEMY Misuse of power
PLANETARY CONNECTION Sun
TOTEMS Eagle, hawk, condor
CRYSTAL Citrine

The east is the place of conception. Citrine carries the power of the rising sun to illuminate your life and
touch the spark of pure spirit within your self. Lighter shades of Citrine govern the physical body and its
functions, and darker shades the spiritual aspects of life. Citrine helps in moving into the flow of feelings
and becoming emotionally balanced. It absorbs, transmutes and grounds negative energy and protects
the environment. In the east of the crystal medicine wheel, it is particularly beneficial for attracting
abundance and enhancing creativity.

SOUTH-EAST
The place of the ancestors

CRYSTAL Spirit Quartz

In the south-east, Spirit Quartz is particularly useful for providing insights into problems experienced
within a family, tightly focusing healing that reaches multi-dimensions and reprogrammes cellular
memory, promoting self-forgiveness. Spirit Quartz takes you to meet the spirits of your ancestors and
those of the planet, and can be programmed for ancestral healing (see Awakening Crystals), especially
for reframing the past. In past-life healing, this stone rejigs the etheric blueprint for the present life,
pinpointing significant karmic connections and the gift or karmic justice in traumatic situations.

299
 CENTRE
The place of Above and Below and All That Is

CRYSTAL Smoky Quartz Elestial

The centre of the medicine wheel represents the Below (Mother Earth) and the Above (Father Earth) and
All That Is. A Smoky Quartz Elestial placed at the centre of the wheel bridges Above and Below, bringing
the light and wisdom of All That Is to the circle infused with the creative power of Father Sun and the
nurturing energy of Mother Earth to create a sacred holding space of infinite possibilities and profound
healing.

CLAIRVOYANCE Ability to discern and communicate with spirits.

COMPANION FORMATION Two crystals entwined and partly growing in each other, or a
smaller crystal that grows out of the main crystal. Occasionally, one crystal totally
surrounds another. Nurtures, assisting in understanding a relationship better and
recognizing how one partner can best support the other without enabling or
disempowering. See Vera Cruz Amethyst.

COSMIC ANCHOR Subtle energy conduit down the central line of the body, passing
through the earth CHAKRA deep into the earth attaching to the core, and passing via the
soul star chakra above the head, upwards to the GALACTIC CENTRE. Stabilizes core
energy and provides a grounding cable for the LIGHTBODY, enabling riding out earth-
energy changes and assimilating downloads of high-vibration energy and, where
appropriate, grounding it into the earth.

COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS High state of awareness in which you are part of universal
energy.

DANTIEN Small, spirally rotating, power-generating sphere on top of the sacral chakra. If
empty or depleted, creative energy cannot function fully, resulting in unbalance.
Draining occurs through sexual acts that are not fully loving, overwork and people

302
pulling on your energy.

DENDRITIC Fern-like markings visible within a crystal. See Dendritic Chalcedony.

DEVAS/DEVIC KINGDOM Nature spirits, traditionally believed to rule trees, rivers and
mountains.

DIS-EASE State resulting from physical imbalances, blocked feelings, suppressed

emotions, karma and negative thinking which, if not reversed, leads to illness.

DNA HEALING It is believed that human DNA originally had 12 strands, which are being
reactivated as humanity evolves.

DOUBLE TERMINATIONS Pointed at both ends; breaks old patterns. See Sichuan Quartz.

EARTH HEALING Rectifying distortion of the earth’s energy field that has been caused by
pollution and destruction of its resources.

ELECTROMAGNETIC SMOG Subtle but detectable electromagnetic field given off by power
lines and electrical equipment that has an adverse effect on sensitive people.

EMPATHY NICKSSmall chips on crystals that do not detract from their healing power and
which may mean the crystal has greater empathy with pain.

ENERGY IMPLANT Vibration, thought or negative emotions implanted in the subtle body
by outside sources.

ENTITY Discarnate spirit who hangs around close to earth and may attach to an
incarnate being.

ENTITY REMOVAL Detaching discarnate spirit or other being and dispatching it to the
appropriate post-death dimension.

ETHERIC BODY Subtle BIOMAGNETIC SHEATH surrounding the physical body.

FLAME Energy field that is part of your greater overall being and which can transform or
transmute your vibrations.

GALACTIC CENTRE The astrological zodiacal centre around which the galaxy revolves,
currently at the end of Sagittarius.

GENERATOR Cluster with several points or six facets. Bringing together a group in
peaceful harmony, it generates powerful healing energy. Six facets meeting in a sharp
point is the optimum shape for generating energy, focusing healing energy and clarity of
intention. See Aqua Aura Spirit Quartz.

GEODE Cave-like crystal that amplifies, conserves and slowly releases energy.

303
Beneficial for addictive or over-indulgent personalities. See Avalonite.

GEOPATHIC STRESS Earth stress created by energy disturbance from underground

water, power lines and ley lines.

GRIDS/GRIDDINGPlacing crystals around a building, person or place for energy

enhancement or protection – the positioning is best dowsed for.

GROUNDING (1) Creating a strong connection between one’s soul, physical body and
the earth. (2) Anchoring energies in the earth.

HEALING CRISIS Positive sign that symptoms will soon disappear, marked by a brief
intensifying of symptoms.

HIGHER DIMENSIONS/VIBRATIONS
Vibrational space or state with a faster and finer vibration not necessarily being located
elsewhere. Higher-vibrational states can exist on earth or in crystals.

HIGHER RESONANCE Acts rather like a Higher Self for the base stone, raising the
vibrations to the next level.

HIGHER SELF The part of the soul not in incarnation that knows the soul plan for the
current and ultimate lifetimes and contains wisdom and gifts garnered in previous
incarnations.

HOUSE CLEARING Removing entities and negative energies from a house.

HYPNOTIC COMMANDS Unconscious programmes instilled by an external source that

‘run’ a person, causing them to act in automatic mode.

ILL-WISHING See PSYCHIC ATTACK.

IMPLANT See ENERGY IMPLANT.

INCLUSION/INCLUDED IN See OCCLUSION.

INDIGO CHILDREN Children born with a higher vibration to those already on earth. These
children often have difficulty adjusting to the present earth vibration.

INNER CHILD Part of the personality that remains childlike (but not childish) and
innocent, or may be the repository of abuse and trauma that requires healing.

INNER LEVELS/DIMENSIONS Levels of being that encompass intuition, psychic

awareness, emotions, feelings, subconscious mind and subtle energies.

Puts you in touch with the goddess within. Healing anything broken – body,
ISIS FACE
mind, emotions or spirit – it integrates spiritual energies into the emotional body and

304
ameliorates over-identification with suffering of others. Helpful for men who want to get
in touch with their feeling nature; assists sensitive children to stabilize. Beneficial for
anyone facing transition. See Amphibole Quartz.

JOURNEYING Soul leaves the physical body and travels to distant locations. Also known
as out-of-body experience and astral travel.

KARMA Dynamic, continuous process of learning and meeting the credits and deficits of
previous actions and what is being set in motion now.

KARMA OF GRACE When sufficient has been done, karma can be released and no
longer operates.

KARMIC Experiences or lessons arising from or appertaining to a past incarnation.

Debts, beliefs and emotions such as guilt are carried over into the present life and
create DIS-EASE, but past-life credits and wisdom are available to heal these. Karmic
seeds are patterns and imprints from former lives that may become activated and result
in dis-ease, relationships or events in the present life.

KARMIC ENMESHMENT Entanglement with another soul that has its roots in past lives in
which karma or actions are repeated over and over again.

KUNDALINI Inner, subtle spiritual and sexual energy that resides at the base of the spine
and, awakened, rises to the crown chakras.

LIFE PLAN See SOUL PLAN.

LIGHTBODY Subtle energy body vibrating at a high frequency. A vehicle for Spirit.

LIGHTWORKER Soul who has undertaken to assist the vibrational shift of the earth by
doing their own work and, in so doing, stimulates others to evolve.

LONG-POINT CRYSTAL Focuses energy in a straight line. Pointed towards the body it
rapidly transmits energy, or draws it off if turned away. See Lemurian Seed.

LOWER WORLD The shamanic lower world is that of the earth and the subconscious
mind. See also UPPER WORLD.

MATRIX The bedrock on which crystals are formed.

MENTAL INFLUENCES Effect of other people’s thoughts and strong opinions on your
mind.

MENTOR FORMATION Acts as a teacher stone and conveys ancient wisdom downloading
information from the AKASHIC RECORD and sharing knowledge, bringing the highest
dimension to the work.

305
MERIDIAN Subtle energy channel that runs close to the surface of the skin, or the planet,
and contains acupuncture points.

MERKABA Complex geometric shape said to assist consciousness evolution and the
activation of the LIGHTBODY.

METAPHYSICAL ABILITIES/GIFTS Abilities such as CLAIRVOYANCE, telepathy, healing.

MIASM Subtle imprint of an infectious disease or traumatic event from the past that has
been passed down through a family or place.

NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL PROGRAMMING

‘Oughts’ and ‘shoulds’ and emotions such as guilt instilled in childhood or other lives
that remain in the subconscious and influence present behaviour, sabotaging effects to
evolve until released.

OCCLUSION Inclusion formed from a deposit of another mineral within a Quartz crystal,
but may be attached to an external face and show through; radiates energy of the
mineral focused and amplified by the surrounding Quartz.

OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE See JOURNEYING.

PLANETARY GRID Subtle and invisible earth energy lines that cover the planet rather like
a spider’s web.

POVERTY CONSCIOUSNESS Ingrained belief that it is somehow right and meritorious to

suffer poverty and lack.

PRE-BIRTH STATE Dimension inhabited by the soul before birth.

PROJECTION Seeing and disliking in others characteristics that we cannot accept are
actually part of ourselves.

PSYCHIC ATTACK Malevolent thoughts or feelings towards another person, whether

consciously or unconsciously directed, creating DIS-EASE and disruption in that person’s
life.

PSYCHIC VAMPIRISM Ability to draw off or ‘feed on’ the energy of others.

PSYCHOPOMP The conveyor of souls to the next world.

PYRAMID Amplifying and tightly focusing energy through the apex, this shape draws off
negative energies and blockages from the chakras, replenishing with vibrant energy.
See Heulandite.

QI Life-force that energizes the physical and SUBTLE BODIES.

306
RADIONIC Method of diagnosis and treatment at a distance.

RAISING VIBRATIONS Bringing the HIGHER SELF into line with the soul’s purpose, and
aligning the physical body and the LIGHTBODY.

REFRAMING Seeing a past event in a different, more positive light so that the DIS-EASE it
is creating is healed.

REIKI Natural hands-on method of healing. Healing passes through the practitioner to
the recipient or is sent at a distance.

SCEPTRE Formed from a central rod around which another crystal grows. Reversed
sceptre is a small crystal point emerging from a larger base. Directs healing to core of a
problem or to subtle bodies. DIS-EASE is dissolved and energies restructured at all
levels of being as appropriate. Sceptres are excellent for reclaiming power. See Orange
River Quartz; Smoky Amethyst Brandenberg.

SCRYING Using a crystal to look into the future or past.

SELF-HEALED CRYSTAL Many small terminations where the crystal has broken from its
base and healed the break by laying down fresh crystal. This formation has an
impressive knowledge of self-healing, teaching how to become whole again no matter
how damaged and wounded you are. See Lemurian Seed.

SHADOW QUALITIES/ENERGIES Qualities that are repressed or denied and exist out of
conscious awareness within the subconscious mind.

SHAMANIC ANCHOR Conduit that helps to bring earth or galactic energies into the
physical body during upper- or lower-world journeying; a cord to guide return.

SILVER CORD Link between the physical and ETHERIC BODY that goes from the soma
CHAKRA to the etheric body.

SOUL FRAGMENTS See SOUL PARTS.

SOUL GROUP Cluster of souls who have travelled together throughout time, all or some
of whom are in incarnation.

SOUL IMPERATIVE Past-life agendas and unfinished business that operate

unconsciously to motivate the present life. Includes past-life promises and purposes
that drive the soul forward from life to life and which draw past partners back into your
orbit in the guise of lovers – or enemies.

SOUL LINKS Connections between members of a SOUL GROUP.

SOUL PARTS The soul is the vehicle for carrying the eternal spirit. Soul parts are part of
the soul not presently in incarnation, which include, but are not limited to, soul

307
fragments that split off. See also SOUL RETRIEVAL.

SOUL PLAN Soul’s intention and learning-plan for the present life, which may have been
carefully reviewed in the between-life state or may be a knee-jerk reaction to karmic
causes.

SOUL RETRIEVAL Trauma, shock or abuse, and even extreme joy, cause a part of the
soul energy to leave and remain stuck at a certain point in life or at a past-life death. A
soul-retrieval practitioner or shaman retrieves the split-off part, bringing it back to the
present-life body.

SOULMATE CONFIGURATION See TWINFLAME CONFIGURATION.

SPIRIT RELEASE See ENTITY REMOVAL.

STAR CHILDREN Beings from other planetary systems who have incarnated on the earth
to help its spiritual evolution.

SUBTLE BODIES Layers of the BIOMAGNETIC SHEATH.

SUBTLE ENERGY FIELDS Invisible but detectable energy field that surrounds all living
beings.

TABULAR FORMATION Two wide sides result in a flat crystal; energy flows freely. It
removes confusion, misinterpretation and misunderstanding and aids communication at
all levels. Links two points, bringing about perfect balance. See ‘Citrine’ Lemurian.

TANTRIC TWIN Two identical crystals aligned side by side but not sharing a base. Ideal
for two people working together as equals, spiritually or materially. Tantric twins
harmonize and integrate different levels of being. A double-terminated tantric twin is
perfect for the ASCENSION PROCESS.

TELLURIC CURRENTS Powerful earth energy currents that run around and through the
earth’s mantle.

THOUGHT FORMS Forms created by strong positive or negative thoughts that exist on
the etheric or spiritual level and affect a person’s mental functioning.

TRIPLE-BURNER MERIDIAN Meridian concerned with temperature control.

TWINFLAME/SOULMATE CONFIGURATION Two equal-sized crystals on the same base (the

difference is in the programming). A twinflame bonds two people into a close and
intimate relationship, teaching how to be unique and separate while united in equal
partnership, creating interdependence and deep intimacy. The closer the points are in
size, the more harmonious the partnership. Soulmates share KARMIC lessons;
twinflames, mutual support and unconditional love. Without a common base, union

308
tends to be mental and spiritual rather than emotional and physical. An unequal
twinflame brings unconditional love to a relationship such as parent–child, employer–
employee, creating alignment and greater harmony. Place twin crystal farthest right
from the door. See Orange River Quartz.

UPPER WORLD The shamanic upper world is that of the stars and the conscious and
higher mind. See also LOWER WORLD.

VIBRATIONAL ENERGY DOWNLOADS Influxes of energy that will raise the consciousness
of humanity and are ‘downloaded’ into the physical level of being, but may take time to
process and come into awareness.
