Quartz: Smoky Quartz
built 264 days ago
Quartz is a common variety of silicon dioxide that often crystallizes into well formed hexagonal prisms. It occurs in many colors, purple amethyst, yellow citrine, and a smoky variety, referred to as smoky quartz or Cairngorm. The colorless, transparent crystals represent the modern concept of "crystal". Crystal balls with a truly mystic significance are always made from quartz. Quartz crystals are among the earliest talismans. Examples of rock crystal objects date back to 75,000BC.

This form of Quartz takes you back to a time before you left your soul group and links you into the purpose of the group incarnation. It can ... help you to identify and attract members of your soul group. If negative energies have intervened in the group purpose, a Smoky Phantom will remove these, taking the group back to the original purity of intention.
