Blades of Light are extremely rare pieces of Quartz found only in Columbia. They come from a similar region as the famous Emerald Mines and location of the Mango Quartz mine. Blades of Light first came onto the market back in 2017, but received very little recognition & were only found in a few specialist
Mango Quartz was first discovered by Don Victor Carranza in Columbia during the early 80s. However, he was involved in several unsavoury business ventures and was a very territorial and paranoid man. After he made the discovery, he sealed the mine entrance so no one else would know where to find ‘his’ beautiful Quartz. It
Hello and welcome to the first of my new set of blogs for 2021. If you’d like to check back on the new Crystal Energy blogs for 2021 at any point, please scroll to the bottom of the page where the blog categories are shown. I wrote back in 2014 about how the energies of
I’ve recently been drawn to a mineral that has been around for quite a few years now and is named Lemurian Aquatine Calcite. This is a trademarked, marketing name created by Robert Simmons. A bigwig in the crystal world who has a habit of taking perfectly normal minerals, in this case, a blue, chalcedony based
Pyroxmangite is an incredibly rare, high-temperature polymorph of Rhodonite. In plain English, this means it is the highest quality,  most intense energy/vibration version of Rhodonite with an extremely high concentration of Manganese. There are none of the grey or black lines that are normally associated with Rhodonite. Manganese is mined primarily for the medical industry as
Black Moonstone is the rarest form of Moonstone that really packs a punch for me. Moonstone, who’s geological name is Hecatolite, consists of two different feldspars (Albite & Orthoclase). As Moonstone is created and cools, these two feldspars mix in various ways and always in layers. When light touches the areas between these layers, it
Trolleite is an amazing mineral that was first discovered in Sweden in the early 1900s. It is a hard, Phosphate mineral that contains Quartz, Lazulite and Scorzalite. For many years, it was only located in Sweden, but recent finds in the USA, Africa and South American have allowed pieces to come to the fore that
There is a new blend of minerals on the block and WOW, is it heart opening, soothing and uplifting. There has been a find of high grade Lepidolite & Pink Tourmaline in Quartz from Madagascar. Both of these minerals are on my ‘go to’, must have list of crystalline energies to work with. I have worked
Dumortierite is an amazing mineral to work with. The majority of Dumortierite is blue, often a dark blue/black colour. However, when there are inclusions of iron or aluminium variants (which is rare), this colour can change to brown, green, pink or pale purple. Dumortierite was first discovered in France in 1881 by paleontologist Eugene Dumortier,
Paraiba Kyanite is a new form of Kyanite mined specifically in Tanzania. It is very difficult to mine stones in many of the African countries due to civil unrest, so although I’ve known about this new, beautiful blend of Kyanite for some time now, we’ve only now been able to obtain enough to release it
