Crystal Points

Quartz crystal points are used for healing, meditation and expanding the mind to touch the spirit world. Quartz crystals are used for protection and capturing and changing bad vibrations.

Crystal points are available in many forms:

- A single crystal point is often used in healing. Pointed away, it draws energy off the body. Pointed inward, it channels energy inward.
- A Generator (or Standing Point) is a powerful tool to aid focus and clarity of intention. It optimizes the stone's healing facility.
- A double terminated point channels energy in two directions at once and provides a bridge between two energy points.
- Pyraminds amplify and then tightly focus energy through the apex. A pyramid is also used to enhance and focus the inherent properties of the stone.

                                               
Crystal Clusters
A crystal cluster formation has many points embedded in the base. The emerging crystals may be large or small. Crystal Clusters radiate energy into the surrounding room or space and also are used to absorb negative energy.

They are often used to cleanse a room or other stones by leaving the stone overnight on the cluster.

                                                  
Gemstone Eggs
Throughout the ages, the egg has symbolized new beginnings, the spark of creation. Traditional folk religion regards the egg as a powerful symbol of fertility, purity and rebirth. Magic rituals often use eggs to promote fertility and restore virility (of the body and mind); and to foresee the future. Eggs mean growth, protection, new beginnings, resurrection.

                                                  
Crystal and Gemstone Wands
Magic or Message Wands have been used since ancient times to increase the power of spells. The pointed end of each wand directs the spell energy. The wand is a powerful addition to have on your altar. Wands are a popular healing tool. They are used to channel energy in reflexology and massage. The stone should be chosen for its particular benefits and energies. Crystal massage works at a deep level to assist in healing a variety of ailments.

                                                  
Gemstone Balls, Spheres and Crystal Balls
Gemstone balls and crystal spheres are used for healing, to emanate the energy of the stone, and in rituals. They contain protection, love and many other desirable energies. Crystal and gemstone balls have been used for divination since at least medieval times. They are a traditional symbol of the occult and hidden wisdom, and much more.

                                                    
Crystal and Gemstone Pendulums
Pendulums have been used for centuries to find things - water, gold, oil - treasures of all kinds including answers!

Some believe that the pendulum finds the connection to the intuitive parts of the mind. "Divining" with a pendulum is a method of connecting with a higher power in order to obtain information from a divine source. Scientific research indicates that the pendulum responds to electromagnetic energy that radiates from everything on Earth.

                                                
Natural Crystal Geodes
Geodes are a variable phenomenon and, therefore, many theories exists to explain how they are created. The term geode is derived from the Greek word Geoides which means "earthlike."

Geodes are often used for protection or spiritual aid and growth. A geode is contained within an outer form. When it is opened, it is hollow with many crystals pointing inward. These unique and beautiful forms hold and amplify energy which is then diffused and softened.

                                                 
Crystal and Gemstone Symbols
What is a symbol? A symbol is a very personal and meaningful representation of a concept such as love, friendship, religion, good luck, etc. Symbols are used to remind us to stay on the path to harmony and love.
