The Celts, who began colonizing the British Isles around 300 B.C., mined the brownish-grey Quartz in the Cairngorm Mountains of the Scottish highlands, calling the dark brown to black crystals they found Morion, and the yellow-brown to greyish-brown crystals Cairngorm after the mountains where they were located. These stones eventually became prominent adornment for Highlander apparel in the form of jewellery, shoulder brooches and kilt pins, and as power stones on the handles of weaponry, especially the Scottish dagger sgian dubh, a “sock knife” which is still part of a proper kilted dress uniform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term “Smokey Quartz” was first reported to the gem world by J. S. Dana in 1837 and was named for its colour which had been likened to smoke. Smokey Quartz is readily found in many locations around the world. A variety of Quartz, it is a silicon dioxide mineral ranging in colour from pale, smoky grey to deep brown and black, sometimes yellowish-brown. It forms as crystals, drusy or in massive form, and its colour is caused by impurities of aluminium and natural irradiation of the stone. Though Smoky Quartz can be nearly opaque, it is almost always transparent to translucent. Many gems on the market are Clear Quartz that have been artificially treated with radium or x-rays to turn the crystals dark, and are usually very dark and unnatural looking, often lacking in transparency. Though Scottish named, the origin of the word morion may have come from the Greek term for “baneful or hideous,” or from the French moreau, meaning “black.” The name may also relate to quadertz, an old German word for a bad mineral. In any event, morion is the German, Danish, Spanish and Polish synonym for Smoky Quartz. Smoky Quartz has also been erroneously marketed as “Smoky Topaz.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the metaphysical world, Smokey Quartz is one of the most efficient crystals for grounding and cleansing. Alone, or naturally blended with other Quartz, it provides some of the finest healing tools available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the realm of dark stones, Smokey Quartz offers a rare and beautiful transparency that draws light into shades of black and brown. With crystals as pale and surreal as a wisp of smoke, as dark and clear as midnight waters, or as warm and rich as a cognac by the fire, this mineral honours its connection with Mother Earth. It is a talisman of the Root Chakra, an anchor in the natural world, drawing white light energy from the Crown down through the body to be deeply rooted into the physical plane. It initiates movement of primal forces within the body and activates one’s survival instincts in a purified way. It brings strength and stability, and a sense of personal pride in walking the Earth and inhabiting a human form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmokey Quartz was known as a Stone of Power. To the ancient Druids, it was sacred and signified the potent dark power of Earth gods and goddesses. In other cultures it guided souls to the afterlife, served in shamanistic rituals and tribal ceremonies, and was utilised in magic and scrying to connect with spirits of the lower worlds. Smokey Quartz’s phenomenal power, then and now, lies in its ability to protect and ground one physically and spiritually to this world, and to absorb and transmute significant amounts of negative energy and release it into the Earth to be neutralised naturally. It provides a vital shield against psychic attack, emotional and environmental stress, and is used extensively in healing and meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpidote:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpidote is a calcium aluminium iron silicate hydroxide and wasn’t identified as a seperate mineral until the beginning of the nineteenth century. Occurring as prismatic, slender grooved crystals and as fibrous radiating aggregates Epidote is found in many worldwide locations. Epidote appears in the colour range from yellowish-green to greenish-black, the crystals have a vitreous lustre and are translucent to transparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpidote’s name comes from the Greek word ‘epidosis. It means increase oraddition. It’s also known as Pistacite because of its pistachio green colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen is the most common colour of Epidote, but there are Epidote stones that are almost black, yellow green, or dark green in colour. It can be pearly transparent to almost opaque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpidote is a catalyst for change, and once you have clarified your ideals, it will aid you to manifest your dreams into reality. Helping you to learn that if you raise your vibration, you can be enabled to completely change your reality via the action of your thoughts and actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vibration of Epidote works for your highest good, but it may not be comfortable. It works within all chakras, and to help the process, the energy of Epidote will raise your vibration physically. This will aid you to let go of negativity more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis will assist you, because if negative traits become more obvious, you may feel that it is necessary to work through those things that come to your attention by making changes in your life. On the other hand if you are a positive thinker, the vibration of this stone will emphasise your positive traits and bring you more of the same. Most people have a mixture of both positive and negative traits within them, and some traits may be easier to recognise in others, rather than in yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpidote is helpful for those stuck in modes of depression, hopelessness, or other negative thinking patterns.  Epidote can inject a sense of hopeful optimism, clear congestion and energy blockages and also help to balance and stabilise the energy flow in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpidote helps you to live up to your own demands on yourself in an appropriate manner, with due consideration of your own strength and ability thereby avoiding failure. By gradually increasing these demands your capabilities will then be expanded and developed. Epidote also helps you to accept and admit to your weaknesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpidote is the perfect stone for dispelling self criticism and helping you to look objectively at your strengths and weaknesses and at those of other people. Teaching how to set realistic goals, it moves you away from unattainable expectations and the inevitable disappointments that rise when you plan from your emotions. Epidote also helps you overcome frustration caused by failure and teaches you not to devalue yourself because of mistakes you have made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDolomite:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed in 1791 by Nicolas Théodore de Saussure in honour of the French mineralogist and geologist, Déodat (Dieudonné) Guy Sylvain Tancrède Gratet de Dolomieu. He discovered a specimen of what would eventually be called dolomite during his participation in Napoleon Bonaparte's expedition into Egypt in 1798.\\n \\nDolomite is usually found as druzes or clusters of small rhombohedral crystals with a somewhat \"saddle\"-like shape, white to tan to pink in colour or in massive outcrops of low grade material. Dolomite, also known as dolomitic limestone, magnesian limestone, or dolostone, is a sedimentary rock composed of Calcium and Magnesium Carbonate It forms through the process of dolomitization, where Calcium Carbonate, or Limestone undergoes partial or full transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDolomite rock is quarried, crushed, and ground into various fractions for diverse applications. It is widely used in agriculture to improve soil quality, in refractories due to its magnesium content, and in the paint and plastics industries as a filler material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDolomite invigorates our entire chakra system while grounding our emotions into the physical realm. If you often find yourself out of balance, Dolomite's energies focus on centring our emotional and physical bodies. This mineral harnesses its element by rooting one's aura deep into the core of the earth. Here, we can tap into Mother Earth's energies and intentions so that we may begin to reprogram our chakra system to be fully aligned once more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are one that is eager to clear your headspace of unneeded, self-deprecating thoughts and would like to tap into Mother Earth’s energies for guidance, Dolomite is a stone that you should be working with. When one is fully aligned with their chakra system, their decisions and thoughts will be of pure and decisive intent. Strong, fiery emotions are cooled by this nurturing stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis talisman for centeredness can help assist those who may have a hard time connecting with their spiritual selves. Dolomite helps in connecting your true-self to the spiritual world, bringing out new refreshing thoughts and ideas. When we find ourselves connected to nature, we are tapping into an unlimited power channel given to us by Mother Earth. Nature is what created us, it is responsible for our existence, and with Dolomite we can transmute this energy to assist our body in necessary healing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49616698114325,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/638e3e83-il_fullxfull.7324891978_6x3b.jpg?v=1765592506","url":"https:\/\/naturesgiftsbychris.com\/products\/140g-epidote-and-pink-dolomite-on-smokey-quartz-specimen-a-from-inner-mongolia","provider":"NaturesgiftsByChris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
