The specimen is from the Fengjiashan Mine in Daye Co., Huangshi, Hubei Province of China. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece weighs 470g and measures 13cm x 7cm x 4cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Quartz:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuartz is a silicon dioxide mineral with a hardness of 7. Its crystal system is hexagonal which grows in a large variety of formations. It is one of the most abundant minerals, found on every continent of the Earth. Crystal Quartz exhibits the property of piezoelectricity, by which it can transform mechanical energy (eg pressure) into electromagnetic energy and vice versa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Clear Crystal Quartz is such a worldly crystal, cultures from around the world have their own mythology related to the Quartz stone meaning. The term “quartz” comes from the Greek word for “ice.” Ancient Greek philosophers like Theophrastus believed that the transparent stone was a form of permanent ice, so cold, it kept from thawing. European clairvoyants in the middle ages used crystal balls made of Clear Quartz, as they were said to assist in predicting the future. This may be where the crystal ball originated!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clear Quartz crystal properties are a reflection of the crystal’s aesthetic. With this crystal, it’s all about clarity, light, reflection, and amplification. The Clear Quartz crystal healing properties allow anyone connected to the stone to become as clear as their crystal. Whether you are manifesting, making decisions, or simply clearing out your mental inbox, a Clear Quartz crystal is an essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Quartz is the \"Stone of Power\" and can help to amplify any energy or intention. This Stone is often one of the first to be crystals in many people’s collections. Clear Quartz is also called the \"Master Healer\" and with the presence of inclusions, this Quartz has wonderful healing abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it works by raising your vibration and helping you stay clear on what you want to create, a Clear Quartz crystal is the ideal stone for manifestation. Although the entire family of Quartz crystals are known for their manifesting abilities, the Clear Quartz properties are especially useful for this type of practise because they allow you to supercharge your intentions. In the same way that Clear Quartz can charge other crystals quartz, it can amplify and enhance the power of your intention. Programming a Clear Quartz crystal for manifesting new possibilities allows your crystal to hold your intention and send it out into the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Quartz encourages clarity of thought and purpose to one’s heart and mind. It works on all levels of the energetic and physical bodies and resonates with all chakras. Clear Quartz will amplify any energy with which it moves into resonance, including other stones, constantly broadcasting that energy into the Earths electromagnetic field. This makes Clear Quartz an excellent stone to use for healing, manifestation or prayer work. Clear Quartz helps to establish a strong, clear connection to higher guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Quartz has been used as a healing tool since the Ancient times. In Shamanic practises Clear Quartz is referred to as the “light-stone”, an instrument of clairvoyance. Clear Quartz was traditionally used by Australian Aborigines and the Prairie Indians of North America as a talisman for visionary work. The Navajo believed it to be Clear Quartz that first caused the Sun to cast its light upon the world. The six sided hexagonal shape of Quartz crystal points allow them to hold a programme or intention, to magnify that energy and radiate it out into the surrounding area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoethite:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoethite, correctly pronounced ger-tite, is a naturally occurring iron oxide mineral that takes on various forms and colours. It forms through the oxidation of Iron in the presence of water and oxygen and can be found all over the world and is abundant on Mars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed in 1806 by Johann Georg Lenz in honour of the German poet, novelist, playwrighter, philosopher, politician, and geoscientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [August 28, 1749, Frankfurt, Germany – March 22, 1832, Weimar, Germany].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoethite is an Iron hydroxide mineral that crystallizes in the form of masses, botryoidal, stalactites, and rarely, small prismatic crystals. The colour of Goethite ranges from black, brown and silver, to lighter colours such as red, yellowish brown, and orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoethite has been used for thousands of years by many different civilizations. It was a popular pigment used to colour paint, with some notable artefacts found containing Goethite within. The famous Caves of Lascaux in France contain numerous cave paintings of animals and human figures drawn with Hematite and Goethite pigment. These drawings are estimated to be over 16,000 years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoethite is an enchanting stone of emotional healing, grounding and support. Its strong connection to the Earth element through your Root Chakra will bring immense emotional support during times of grief, heartbreak, loss, trauma and recovery. Goethite is one of the best stones for healing after the loss of a loved one. It helps you connect with the infinite healing energy of the Earth. Goethite is a great ally for empaths with its rejuvinating and protective energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoethite transforms negative emotions and releasing old patterns that no longer serve us. Its grounding properties help to stabilise emotional distress, allowing for a more balanced and centred emotional state. Goethite stimulates your creative flow and helps you break through any blocks. Its energy supports vitality and well-being, promoting a sense of balance and harmony within the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChalcopyrite:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChalcopyrite was the mineral upon which Bronze Age civilizations were built. Within the last century, it also became the mineral foundation for our modern electrical age. Our primary source of copper, chalcopyrite’s name comes from the Greek words ‘chalkos’ and ‘pyrites’, which respectively mean ‘copper’ and ‘striking fire’. With its metallic lustre and bright golden colour, chalcopyrite can fool people into thinking it is gold. It is one of two minerals, the other being pyrite, that are commonly known as ‘fool’s gold’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChalcopyrite is a striking, bright yellow, metallic mineral that occurs in nearly all sulphide deposits. Initially, it may be easy to confuse chalcopyrite with pyrite, but the two can be distinguished by their relative hardness and chalcopyrite’s iridescent tarnish. Pyrite is the harder of the two and cannot be easily scratched by a nail, unlike chalcopyrite. In its massive variety, chalcopyrite is one of the minerals most often mistaken for gold. While gold is ductile and malleable, chalcopyrite is brittle and will shatter if struck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Chalcopyrite is exposed to acid, its colour palette changes to deep purple, blues, violets, and yellows. This treated Chalcopyrite is what you will find at most shows and crystal shops, and is commonly referred to as “Peacock Ore”. Technically “ Peacock Ore” is another mineral called Bornite, which naturally tarnishes to these colours, but it quite rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChalcopyrite is one of the strongest healing stones in the mineral kingdom and is known as the chakra stone. As the chakra stone, it will cleanse, balance and align all your chakra energy centres individually. Once all are aligned, cleansed and balanced individually, this incredible multicolored stone will simultaneously align your entire physical body with that of your Spiritual and Ethereal energy bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you work with Chalcopyrite it will assist you in shifting your inner Self, aligning your thoughts and emotions in a very soothing, calming way. In addition, Peacock Ore resonates more finely with the Third Eye, allowing the user to re-discover long forgotten knowledge. It is the key to reconnecting yourself with ancient esoteric knowledge. Hold it above or in front of your Third Eye during meditation. It will in time, depending on how open you are, assist you in awakening your inner sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the many benefits of Chalcopyrite is the grounding of excess nervous energy, allowing the body and mind to release stress related emotions which in turn cause an imbalance throughout the body. It can cause a transformation that removes negative energy and replaces it with a strong, beneficial, positive energy. It possesses the unique property of energizing not only the area on which it is placed, but all affects all of the surrounding area as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChalcopyrite is a Enhancer Mirror Crystal. Enhancers are minerals and crystals with internal crystal lattices of perfect cubic symmetry and internal harmony. They can focus and enhance our energy on the feelings of improvements we desire and help turn them to the thoughts that will produce the actions we need to improve. These are the “building block” crystals. Their internal structure of blocks builds up perfect crystal lattices that can help us focus our efforts to build on our successes, achievements and enhance our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluorite:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOriginally known as Fluorspar or Fluorospar, Fluorite is primarily an industrial mineral with a low melting point deriving its name from the Latin fleure, meaning “to flow,” and refers to its use as a flux in the steel and aluminium smelting processes. It has numerous uses in the ceramic and chemical industries as a source of fluoride, fluorine, and hydrofluoric acid and for use in glazes, enamels, and speciality glass. High-quality Fluorite is also used in making top-grade optical lenses for cameras, microscopes, and telescopes. The term “Fluorspar” is still commonly used in the industrial and chemical trades, while “Fluorite” is used for mineralogical, lapidary, and most other references.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFluorite is composed of calcium fluoride and is a member of the Halide family. It is transparent to translucent with a vitreous lustre and crystallizes in well-formed isometric cubes, nodules, clusters, or massive forms. It is the only common mineral with perfect cleavage in four directions. This characteristic may be visible to the naked eye in clear stones as subtle etchings permeating the entire crystal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis cleavage frequently produces perfect octahedrons and, more rarely, dodecahedrons and other complex forms, including penetration twins as if one cube were growing into or out of another. Fluorite is the reference mineral for a hardness of four on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making it too soft for everyday wear as a gem. However, it is carved into wonderful faceted stones and sold as collector’s specimens or used in jewellery that is not subject to impact or abrasion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHailed as “the most colourful mineral in the world,” Fluorite forms in a wide variety of hues, typically purple, green, yellow, blue, and pure form – colourless. However, specimens of pink, red, white, brown, and black also occur. It is frequently multi-coloured with bands, or zones, of colour that intermingles. Impurities, exposure to radiation, and voids in the colour centres determine Fluorite’s colour and help give it a wonderful luminous quality. Its crystals were some of the first specimens studied for the phenomenon of “fluorescence,” which was named after Fluorite, and are thought to be caused when trace amounts of yttrium, cerium, europium or other rare earth elements substitute for calcium in the mineral structure. Some varieties of Fluorite may also be phosphorescent, thermoluminescent, and\/or triboluminescent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOriginally known as Fluorspar or Fluorospar, Fluorite is primarily an industrial mineral with a low melting point deriving its name from the Latin fleure, meaning “to flow,” and refers to its use as a flux in the steel and aluminium smelting processes.

It carries a calm, stable frequency that brings order to chaos, scatters, and discordant energies into cohesion and harmony. Fluorite supports spirituality and thought focus and concentration, and balance in all aspects of one’s life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eKnown as the “Genius Stone,” Fluorite represents the highest state of mental achievement, boosting aptitude and discernment, absorbing new information, and helping one work through complex issues. Its energy stimulates the electrical charge of brain cells, drawing in more life force (prana) as it encourages both hemispheres to work harmoniously together in balance. Expanding consciousness advances the mind to greater mental, spiritual, and psychic awareness. It stirs creativity and provides a limitless range of avenues for exploration. Fluorite forms in many colour varieties, and while each manifests its abilities in different ways, all serve the mental body, brain, and energetic levels of being.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIt purifies the mind and enhances mental acuity, stimulating the Third Eye Chakra in order to bring a logical and conscious awareness of the mental processes and how one thinks. It is an excellent crystal for focused meditation and boosts one’s intuitive and psychic abilities. Purple Fluorite is a stone of protection, thought to become more protective the longer it is used, and is an ideal “Dream Crystal,” defending one from evil spirits and bad dreams. It radiates a marvelous energy throughout the light body relieving stress, spiritual discomfort, and physical blockages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFluorite has a wonderful, stabilising effect on the emotional body, helping one to “think through” one’s feelings when overwhelmed and to allow a coherent pattern to emerge that dissolves confusion, vacillation, fear of the future, or of making a wrong decision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIt gently brings suppressed feelings to the surface for resolution and is beneficial in countering mental disorders. Fluorite helps dispel illusion and rigid thinking to reveal the truth and help one move beyond narrow-mindedness to the bigger picture. It increases self-confidence and structures one’s energy to unearth one’s true potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFluorite is also an excellent crystal for helping one understand the balances intrinsic to relationships. It aids one in being impartial and unbiased and utilising fair reasoning in situations where it would be wise to see and act on information with objectivity. Fluorite brings stability to groups, linking them to a common purpose, and allows relationships, groups, and the individual to flourish within that which is beneficial to all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50115040968981,"sku":null,"price":69.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/IMG_6338_6aeb34c6-0e0a-4407-8b16-0b490ee4ab3a.jpg?v=1787371484","url":"https:\/\/naturesgiftsbychris.com\/products\/470g-quartz-goethite-fluorite-and-chalcopyrite-specimen","provider":"NaturesgiftsByChris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
