| Smoky Quartz is a protective stone an din ancient times it was said to warn
fighting soldiers of danger when it turned a darker colour. The ancient Romans
considered it a mourning stone that helped overcome grief and sadness. This stone
helps to bring inner peace and a renewed sense of strength. It is a motivator that
gives you the strength to meet new challenges. Legend says
that ages ago the Mountain people believed that their gods and spirits lived inside
palaces made from crystal. It has been well renowned over the centuries
as a popular healing stone. The word Crystal actually comes from the word
"Krystallos" which means "Clear Ice" in Ancient Greek or celestial
water from the heavens that the deities froze so it would never melt. Another legend
is that Hercules drooped the crystal of truth from Mount Olympus and it shattered into
millions of pieces that we find today as clear quartz. In the Orient,
crystal quartz was regarded as the essence of the dragon and was considered to be pure Chi
or life force.
Quartz
Crystal has an enlightening effect on all the Chakras and helps to eliminate negative
energy. Often used as a cleansing
stone to restore positive energy and used in meditations.
It raises energy and aids concentration. It is the stone of the sun, of
health, wealth and happiness. This stone absorbs energy from all around us and can
draw down the divine light. It will store and concentrate this energy to be released
in healing, magic or pure vitality. Some
use this stone for divination, building psychic abilities and helping during
meditations. It also amplifies any innate psychic or healing powers and is used to
increase the power of prayer (especially for healing). It will also act as a channel
for spirit guides. |
