Garden Quartz, also known as Lodolite Quartz, is typically sourced from a small number of locations in Brazil. The quartz crystal contains inclusions of various other minerals which create the appearance of a garden or landscape within the crystal.
Usually solid masses of quartz are polished to reveal these inclusions, however much rarer are naturally terminated crystals and crystal groups such as this example.
Garden Quartz can exhibit a range of characterisitcs associated with the different inclusions contained within, all of which are amplified by the quartz. This crystal is more for spiritual development than physical healing. It holds a sense of detachment, and can be used for meditation and astral travel. It clears all Chakras, and lights up and opens the Third Eye, and is therefore extremely useful in psychic development.
It also opens the Throat Chakra and stimulates the Bindu Visarga, helping us to communicate with our Guides. If used to treat energy blockages, it can be held below the blockage. It will draw energy down through the Crown and dissolve the blockage, before working on the Chakras below it. It balances male/female energy.
Often these are useful and powerful crystals.
