Crystal Formations, Markings, and the Master Crystals

Crystal Formations, Markings, and The Master Crystals

Abundance Crystals can be recognized as one large crystal with individual smaller crystals attached to its sides. The smaller crystals resonate an energy reminding us that universal abundance is all around us and only limited by our own beliefs about what abundance means. These crystals are good choices for personal work regarding self-limiting beliefs about abundance in ones life. Their frequency fosters a reminder that there is no limit to what you deserve and are allowed to have. As the smaller crystals are attracted to the wisdom and enlightenment of the larger crystal, we attract more abundance with the precision and clarity of our thoughts. They may also be referred to as Barnacle Crystals.

Activator Crystals ~ Right & Left (see Time Link Crystals)

Angel's Breath Quartz Crystals have cloud-like, starry-like, or mist-like wisps in them caused by the oxidation of Titanium that was present in the crystal's environment as it was still forming and growing in the ground. They work with dimensional presence, grounding higher consciousness expressed as creativity into the outer world. It is excellent as a gazing stone for people who need extra energy to be created in their environments. They work with the cellular structure of the brain to strengthen and bring forward conscious harmonious patterns of thought. Under high magnification one may find some tiny water droplets, which are tiny Enhydros. Some may even be seen moving within their tiny enhydro chambers, but most of them are immobile. I refer to these microscopic enhydros as Dew Drops. Other bubble-like structures seen in this type of formation are tiny air bubbles. This formation may also be referred to as Fairy Frost.

Aperture Crystals are configured such that the crystal is cup-shaped, with a hollow crater being large enough to contain liquid. When filled with water, these crystals can be used for scrying, to access information from the past, present, or future.This formation is said to help one to establish ineffable logic to ones skills and to promote the increase of ones designs with inventive ingenuity and skill.

Barnacle Crystals (see Abundance Crystals)

Bridge ~ Penetrator Crystals can be recognized by the appearance of one crystal which has another crystal growing across or "bridging" one or more of its planes. The smaller crystal is considered the "bridge". This crystal facilitates the bridging of different levels of energy. For example, it can assist us in connecting or "bridging" the self and the higher self, the self and other people, or the self and other dimensions. This powerful configuration greatly enhances the communication and understanding of higher frequencies of spirituality, advanced metaphysical studies, and higher dimensional ideas. This is an excellent tool for those working with these types of studies or wherever there is a need to "bridge" one form of energy to a higher form of that energy.

Buddha Formations are most commonly found in Quartz and Danburite crystals. When the faces of the crystal, at the main termination, are lined up in a certain way one can see a formation that resembles that of a sitting Buddha. Channeling, Transmitter, and Dow crystals can exhibit this feature. The best way to try and locate a Buddha is to hold the crystal termination in front of you at eye level. Look directly into the 7-sided front face, while centering the 3-sided back face in the middle. If you have a Buddha crystal, the outlines of the faces will reveal what appears to be the shape of a sitting Buddha. They can be found in both naturally terminated crystals and crystals polished or faceted into those shapes or configurations. They are said to be excellent crystals for meditation and enlightenment. These crystals are said to assist one in following their paths, while acting as guides in the physical, mental, and spiritual realms. They are also said to help transfer ancient wisdom into the present consciousness. They are also said to be aids for astral and spiritual traveling.

Candle ~ Pineapple Quartz crystals have one large prominent termination and multiple parallel terminations working their way up around all of the crystal's sides.

They are said to be able to eliminate tedium and oppression from ones environment. They are said to assist one in the realization of damage done, consciously or unconsciously, to the physical body. This allows one to find solutions to these damages and to put them into action. They are said to be stones of introspection and insight, which can help one learn more about their inner truth and paths in life. It is also said to help increase ones confidence, sensitivity, and state of calmness. They are said to be excellent tools for scrying.

Carved Crystals (Natural) (see Record Keeper Crystals)

Cathedral Lightbrairy Crystals can be recognized by the appearance of one main terminated point with other smaller castling terminations growing out from the main point. It is one crystal, growing and terminating as many crystals. This configuration has the appearance of a crystal cathedral or crystal castle. The Cathedral Lightbrairies can contain the sacred 'akashic' knowledge written in the language of light, and they remind us of the crystalline cities and temples of Lemuria and Atlantis. They are also known as Atlantean Temples, due to their stepped, layered or castling growth. They are called the "Ancient Ones." They are said to have passed through all the great civilizations including Atlantis and Lemuria. Those who guardian these crystals in their keeping are said to have worked with them for their magical and healing properties in previous lifetimes. They act as energy conduits through which the universal masters can relay specific information that is pertinent to humanity at this time in our evolution. The double spiraling that occurs during the crystal's growth makes this powerful tool extremely sensitive to receiving universal frequencies and human thought forms simultaneously, refining the essence of universal knowledge and converting it into messages that the human mind is capable of comprehending.

Channeler Crystals represent the numerology of the (7-3) combination. A Channeler can be recognized by a large seven sided front face with a perfect triangle on the opposing face. Seven is the number symbolizing the intuition of the Higher Mind and attainment of the Mystical Truths, while the three symbolizes the ability to express things creatively and joyously. The use of a Channeling Crystal enhances conscious connection with ones accumulated knowledge and wisdom, and facilitates the integration of Body, Mind and Spirit. They can also be used to access wisdom of experience and enlightenment, which is available on other energy levels and dimensions. These crystals are excellent tools for meditation and conscious work with higher energies of light.

Convoluted Sheet Quartz Crystals can be recognized by the existence of holes in a milky winding and twisted quartz configuration. The structure occurred during the flow of the quartz over the other minerals present, which over time dissolved due to changes in the conditions of the environment. Some fragments of the dissolved minerals may still be present. This formation is said to cleanse the chakras and to transmute negativity into positivity. It is also said to gently remove ethereal cords. It is said to stimulate the movement of the kundalini and to transform blockages in the energy field, allowing the kundalini to continue to move due to the awareness of ones centering. It can also instill movement in ones life, to allow for the activity required for progression, while providing protection for ones movements. It is also said to increase the vividness and recall of dreams, past life recall, and enhance astral travel.

They represent the idea of multiplicity, while stabilizing the center of the self, promoting a further uninterrupted connection with the ethereal perfection. They are said to be world teachers for all of humanity by facilitating macrocosmic awareness and appreciation of the creative forces of nature. They are said to be excellent formations for those studying spirituality and the arts and sciences. They are said to be of use in activating and clearing all of the chakras by providing amplification of the available energy.

Crystal Clusters are a formation of individual single point configured crystals that share a common base. They represent the ideal evolved community, with each individual member being a separate, perfect, and unique crystal sharing a common ground. They represent harmonious living, reflecting light back and forth to one another so they all bathe in the radiant energy of the whole. These communities of light enhance healing vibrations in the environment and are excellent for helping to cleanse and balance the atmosphere wherever they are placed. They are also useful for charging smaller crystals.

Curved Quartz Crystals have a curvature that was produced in the crystal's early stages of growth and is a very rare occurrence. When a curved crystal is in ones energy field, its structure provides for a continuous energetic alignment of the meridians of the nervous system with the alignment of the physical, emotional, mental, etheric, and astral bodies. These rare crystals emanate a gentle, yet powerful energy and they allow one access to the interior of the physical body in order to detect existing areas of unbalance. They are also an excellent choice for aura cleansing. Their inherent energy is one of flexibility and this makes them a perfect stone for use in the treatment of spinal misalignment and in the correction of curvature deformations.

Devic Temple Crystals are crystals that if properly used can provide a gateway through which Angels, Devas and other beings of light can enter the physical plane. Inside the world of the crystal are rainbow inclusions of trapped air, water, and gas that are called veils, foils and fairy frost. The crystal's external formation can also remind us of a temple with stairways and doorways. These crystal forms attract the higher dimensional beings of light who remind us of our own "extrasensory" powers of consciousness and our natural ability to connect with them. When the Devas are invited into our life through these crystals a magical presence prevails. The harmonic vibration of these quartz temple sites allows the veils between the worlds to be lifted and spiritual energies infiltrated into the surrounding environment.

Dolphin ~ Teacher Crystals are larger crystals having a smaller crystal attached to its side as if it is riding along. These crystals symbolize the protective and loving energy radiated towards those who are vulnerable and defenseless. This crystal may also be known as a Mother Crystal.

Double Terminated Crystals are crystals that come to a natural termination at both ends. These wonderful crystals develop in relationship to their crystal communities as self-contained individuals growing outside of the confines of the community matrix and they exude a frequency of personal unity. These specialized stones have the capacity to draw in, as well as emanate out energy from either end. They facilitate the balance and integration of energies in the center and channel the flow of energy out in both directions. The DT's boost all forms of communication, especially enhancing psychic energies as they symbolize the integration and balance of the dual expression of spirit and matter. These are excellent tools for refining telepathic abilities. They can also be used to assist in providing protection from mental and physical harm, enabling one to maintain ones energy shield.

Dow Crystals are recognized by a configuration of three 7 sided faces, adjacent on each side to a perfect triangle. This powerful configuration combines the Channeling Crystal's energy which enhances conscious connection with ones accumulated knowledge and wisdom, with the Transmitter Crystal's energy, which facilitates clarifying, simplifying and refining ones ability to communicate on all levels, enhancing and integrating telepathic and intuitive abilities. This combination forms a high frequency "connective force", providing intuitive awareness in all situations. This configuration is an excellent choice for all spiritual and mystical pursuits. They are also known as Trans-Channeling Crystals.

Drusy Crystals are a group of many tiny crystals clustered together, sometimes as coatings on top of other minerals. They are said to bring higher levels of energy by stimulating the exactness of the energy of the mineral of which it is composed. There is always more power in numbers/multiples.

Earth Keeper Crystals are huge crystals of many feet in length that are just recently being discovered deep in the Earth. In my personal opinion, since they are called "Earth Keepers," they should stay in the Earth and continue to serve their purpose there. Excavating around them to expose them to the public seems to be the better thing to do than removing them for personal and financial gain. That way they can continue to guard the Earth, while being observed and learned from by those who are meant to have contact with them. They are extremely powerful crystals.

Elestial Crystals are described as having natural and/or overgrowth of crystals over the body and/or face of an etched or layered crystal.

They may act as keys and help one to attune to the librairies of spiritual knowledge, the akashic records, and the eternal wisdom of the Universe. The more complex the inner structures in the crystal are, such as openings, portals, or gateways, the more interdimensional access can be obtained. They are said to be helpful during meditation for increased interdimensional travel and journeying.

Empathic Crystals are recognized by damaged and/or missing portions of their terminations (points). They have either endured a major earth shift or have been badly handled and mistreated in their travels. They are often considered unattractive by many individuals not aware of what they stand for. These crystals are excellent choices for increasing our level of compassion for others without losing ourselves in the process, and they are also powerful in helping one to open the heart chakra. Most of the Empathic Crystals develop beautiful rainbows within, reminding us that it is who we are on the inside that matters. The inner beauty of these special crystals reminds us that it is possible to regenerate our own rainbows, even if we have been badly treated, neglected or abused. They are said to pass on their strengths and “survival skills” to us. They may also be referred to as Warrior Crystals.

Etched Quartz Crystals can be recognized by the occurrence of etchings and abrasions on the crystal's surfaces that resemble ancient hieroglyphics.

Generators are extraordinary meditation tools for focusing concentration and energy, then amplifying and sending it into the etheric planes. These powerful healing tools are excellent for self-healing or as an addition to a healer's set.

Glyphs are carved shapes or other unusual markings or raised areas that are seen on crystals. They can be found on any area of the crystal. Many believe that these markings were placed on the crystals by ancient civilizations, like the Lemurians or Atlanteans. They are said to be encrypted messages for us to decipher.

Grounding Crystals are recognized as having a main face with eight sides. These crystals help maintain a pragmatic approach to life, especially relevant for those trying to develop higher energies. They ground ones energy so that it is still possible to act effectively on this plane without losing touch with reality. They are useful for healers and practitioners of all energy treatments.

Growth Interference Quartz Crystals may also be referred to as "shamanic crystals." They come from very frigid and glacial areas. Sheets of Calcite inter-grew with the Quartz, and was subsequently dissolved out during the final stages of the growth process. Their former presence can be seen in the characteristic jagged lines and incisions. Some energies of the Calcite may remain within the crystal. The combination of these two energies are said to be powerful to those who are sensitive to crystal energies. They are said to be capable of helping us to grow and adapt on all levels, and are said to balance the energy fields. They are said to enhance psychic abilities and astral travel. The majority of these recently found crystals have been in Far Eastern Russia and the Himalayan Mountains of India.

Some believe that the "Merkaba Vehicle of Light" is an interdimensional energy vehicle capable of transporting ones consciousness to unlimited realms of higher awareness.

Phantom Crystals are usually recognized by the faint outline of a small inner crystal with the same basic structure and shape as the clear larger outer crystal. Phantoms are formed when a crystal has completed one stage of growth, and then an infusion of new or different nutrients enters the crystal pocket and dusts the outside of the growing crystal. This creates the Phantom outline. At a latter time the crystal grows larger and with more clarity over the outline of its past self. The Phantom Crystal is symbolic of the evolving soul and its growth toward the light. These tools are excellent for past-life work. Phantom Crystals also stimulate creativity and growth beyond our present self-limiting expectations. Polished and unpolished specimens are excellent energy sources for initiation of healing.

Singing Quartz Crystals are easily identified and have a very distinct quality. They come in a variety of shapes, but are usually long and slender in appearance, or are in a Laser Quartz formation. When touched against each other, or other quartz crystals, "singing crystals" emit a clear resounding ringing sound, as you would hear with fine crystal glasses, stemware, and bowls. When lightly flicked with a fingernail, you will also hear them "sing." Some Obsidian varieites, particularly Mahogany Obsidian, will also "sing." These crystals are said to express the spectrum of sound, and they are compatible with the spectrum of light. Some compare their sound to the powerful "om" vibration.

Skeletal ~ Hopper Crystals may also be referred to as Fenster or Jacare crystals. They exhibit unique internal and external growth features resulting from unstable conditions during crystallization. A large majority of these crystals cooled down too quickly to be able to completely fill in. The skeletal growth features occur most often in the macrocrystalline quartz varieties of Clear Quartz and Smoky Quartz. They occur more rarely in Citrine and Amethyst crystals. Skeletal crystals often form with a geometric pattern of lines, depressions, holes, and raised terminations etched into their surfaces. Clearly visible cavities, commonly in geometric patterns, can be seen internally. These cavities may contain clay minerals of various colors, along with other solids. These cavities may also contain gas bubbles and water, more commonly known as fluid inclusions or enhydros. The internal cavities, or chambers, often have a layered appearance. The layered cavities are sometimes so pronounced that the crystal appears almost hollow, or "skeleton-like." This is why the name "skeletal" quartz was given to these crystals. Occasionally these cavities or chambers contain solid, liquid, and gas inclusions. There may also be any combination of the three forms of matter within the same cavity or chamber. These inclusions in quartz are usually quite small and not visible to the unaided eye. Strong magnification and good lighting is highly recommended when observing these crystals. Many of these inclusions show actual movement within their chambers. Again, strong magnification is usually needed to see these movements. The details of these crystals, inside and outside, can be very intricate and complex. Skeletal Crystals are said to have the same metaphysical properties as Elestial Crystals, which are listed above.

Soul Mate Twin Crystals can be recognized as two individual crystals of almost equal length and size growing side by side. This configuration symbolizes and enhances the harmony and compatibility between energies. While a Soul-Mate is generally defined as another being lovingly connected to you at the soul level who will facilitate and promote your spiritual growth, a soul mate can also represent the connection to all of the soul aspects of the self.

They help activate the movement of the kundalini, furthering the progression through the energy centers of the body. This tends to remove energy blockages to promote continual movement of energy through the body and to the higher-self to help maintain perpetual contact. All chakras are said to be activated into a spontaneous flowing movement, which helps to provide for a balance of the male and female energies.

Spirit Guardian Twin Crystals are crystals comprised of two double terminated crystals of near equal size and length, growing side-by-side. The Double Terminated crystal is a crystal that comes to a natural termination at both ends. They facilitate the balance and integration of energies in the center and channel the flow of energy out in both directions. When two Double Terminated crystals grow together, the energies of connection are multiplied exponentially. When a Spirit Guardian is used in meditation it can help establish a connection with your spiritual guides, angels, and teachers on other levels of existence. They are powerful tools that help us remember that we have unlimited assistance from our spiritual helpers available to us at any time. The energy amplification of the Spirit Guardian crystal will refine and enhance the subtle messages and information constantly available from our other dimensional spiritual counsels, and is an excellent tool for psychic development, intuition, and spiritual access.

Star Crystals are also known as crystals exhibiting asterism. They have naturally occurring 4 or 6 ray stars which appear when held in or under direct light. Their energy is said to bring forth the light of the universe. It is said that universal light integrates with the light of the inner self. This encourages one to speak, act, and perform the will of the Divine.

Tabular or "Tabby" Crystals have a different shape and energy frequency than any other quartz configuration. They are flattened crystals with two of the opposing six sides being larger and wider than the other four sides. The Tabby Crystal serves as a bridge or connecting link between two points. Their power lies in their ability to transmit from one side to the other while maintaining perfect balance. The Tabby is a communication master, helping you to translate feelings into mental awareness and conscious verbal expression. They are excellent tools for aligning the intellect with the intuition.

Tantric Twins are tools to unlock the secrets of "right relationships" and loving union on all levels. Their energy represents the duality of the personal relationship we have with ourselves and that which we share with others. They share a common base and yet have two distinct terminations representing a perfect relationship with separate individual identities. These twin crystals amplify and resonate a frequency of balance between the outer manifestation of the Self and the inner Self. This powerful configuration can be used on a personal level towards achieving union with your higher self as its essence is one of union. It is also an excellent tool for enhancing compatibility between individuals on any level or type of relationship. Also see Twin Quartz Crystals (All).

Time Link Crystals are crystals that have a parallelogram as one of its faces, which is attached to a terminal face. Time Links are like crystalline time conductors that the soul can travel upon in order to consciously connect with aspects of the self existing in other times, places, and dimensions. If the parallelogram is pointing to the right as you face the crystal, the spiral is moving clockwise into the future (Future Time Link). If it is pointing to the left as you face the crystal, the energy is moving counter clockwise into the past (Past Time Link). The Time Links are excellent tools for use in soul retrieval work, past life work or childhood trauma work as they resonate a frequency that operates outside of our human linear views of time. They may also be referred to as Right or Left Activator Crystals.

Trans-Channeling Crystals (see Dow Crystals)

Transformation Crystals can be found in any quartz configuration. It is usually not recognized as a Transformation crystal until the beginning of the transformation itself. The transformation may be either a change in shape, quality, and/or color. This is a crystal for progressive change. It is said to be able to assist one in forward movement in all aspects of life. They are also said to aid one in replacing negative attitudes with positive direction. When the transformation takes place in the crystal, a change in color tends to stimulate activity and healing related to the new color. A change in shape often indicates the creation of a self-healing crystal. A change in quality may signify the addition or elimination of negativity.

Transmitter Crystals manifest the seven-to-three (7-3-7) ratio with a perfect triangle in the center of the crystal, and two symmetrical seven sided faces on either side. The seven represents the Higher Self and the three brings the energy of the Higher Self through the individual consciousness to be expressed and manifested on the physical plane. Through the Transmitter Crystal it is possible to connect the conscious mind to universal wisdom and send or receive specific information pertaining to personal circumstance or to attain cosmic truths and insights. These crystals are excellent tools for clarifying, simplifying and refining ones ability to communicate on all levels, enhancing and integrating telepathic and intuitive abilities.

Trigonic Crystals have one or more inscribed downward pointing triangles located on a crystal's terminal face, and also on elestial facial terminations. They are said to have a very sacred energy and are powerful tools for healing purposes. They assist in healing by allowing one to see more clearly when it is a time for change, as change is needed for healing to take place. Their use is most needed during the greatest times of change in our lives. They are said to act as catalysts for self healing by facilitating the necessary changes. They are said to carry a transformational type of energy. They can be found on all members of the Quartz family. They are said to be most effective when found on Amethyst, as they combine the healing, protective, and purifying energies of Amethyst in addition to the energies and properties of the Trigonic carvings. They are occasionally found on Calcite and a few other minerals.

Twin Flame Crystals can be recognized as two crystals of similar but not equal length and size either joined at the side or joined in a V shape at their base. These crystals serve as mirrors for how one appears on an inner level to the outside world. Meditating and focusing with a Twin Flame will attract kindred souls whose spiritual evolvement is compatible. These crystals are wonderful for increasing synchronicities in ones spiritual life and boosting ones psychic affinity with others. They are also excellent tools for melding group consciousness during group meditation. Also see Twin Quartz Crystals (All).

Twin Quartz Crystals (All) come in a variety of formation types. In addition to the properties listed for each individual type of twin formation, they all share some similar properties. They are said to facilitate the building of relationships on all levels, acting to encourage encounters with ones soul mate present during this lifetime. They help one to create a balance such that the outer manifestation and the inner being are not in opposition and are manifested as movements of the same energy flow. They are also said to be useful for melding the consciousness of groups and for promoting universal love.

Window Crystals are recognized by the presence of a large 4 sided diamond shaped "window" located in front of the crystal. The diamond shape represents the balance between, and the synthesis of the spiritual and physical realms. In meditation, this powerful teaching crystal can open windows through which one can see beyond the illusions of physicality into the radiance of ones Higher Self. The Window Crystal allows light to freely reflect within the deeper regions of the human consciousness, allowing for insights that mirror the shadows of fear and insecurity inhibiting an individual’s growth and the soul's expression of light.
