Healing crystals have been used as far back as human history reaches, both for healing and for energy work.

 

The following article was contributed by Mike Eggleston of Inner Vision Crystals.

 

Everything, all matter and life, is energy with its own vibrational frequency. Healing crystals are no different. Each variation has a unique vibrational level, or certain qualities. This is why, for example, quartz is used in electronic devices. It is used in everything from watches, to computers and many other applications. When energy is applied or transmitted through quartz, it expands and amplifies.

Crystals have the ability to store and program energy.

When introduced into our energy fields, healing crystals direct and transmute energy when applied properly. Crystal structure is based on the arrangement of the atoms and molecules in its makeup. Crystalline structure is virtually perfect, and has attracted the wonder of the human mind since the beginning. Metaphysical attributes have been associated with crystals since humans have been conscious of their many uses. This began in a time when humans were more in touch with nature and right brained, intuition-based thinking.

Healing crystals also have the ability, through incorporating them with meditation and metaphysics (which modern physics will come to combine within the coming years), to allow us to perceive different levels of our awareness/consciousness. Some crystals, such as Herkimer Diamond Quartz (NY - USA), Lemurian Seed Crystals (Brazil), and Moldavite (Czech Republic) have very high vibrations. This means that they can have a very deep impact on our energy fields and consciousness through meditation.

Crystals are the physical tool needed to help us navigate the unseen, the unknown.

Through meditation (the tuning of the mind / consciousness with higher awareness to access pure mind), information can be obtained from these higher states of being. This information helps to activate the third eye (pineal gland / Mind’s eye). This part of the brain is associated with intuition, higher senses, and psychic awareness.

The ancients were very much in tune with nature, energy and their relationship to the whole of creation. This was before the last shift in planetary consciousness thousands of years ago. In today’s modern society, that connection must be established once again to rise above the issues facing us. Technology is an amazing thing, and with the vast wisdom available, we have the opportunity to do so many great things. However wisdom (knowledge known and verified via direct experience), is quickly becoming lost. Data may replace this knowledge, however often without even verifying what may be being presented, or why.

Glass is not a crystal, so does crystal healing with glass work?

 

Like quartz, glass is composed of silicon dioxide, and both materials are clear in their purest state. The difference is in the way they form. Quartz forms very gradually, aligning its molecules one by one into a perfect crystal lattice. In contrast, glass forms when the silicon is heated and quickly cooled, either by the earth or by man. The quickly cooled molecules have no time to form a lattice, and instead solidify with no particular pattern.

So the question sometimes comes up: Since crystal healing works by aligning the perfect structure of crystals with the energy field of the human body, does glass even have metaphysical properties? What, if anything, are the various forms of glass good for?

The answer is that glass has its own kind of magic.

While it lacks crystal structure, other characteristics give the various forms of glass their own power: color, included materials, light refraction or reflectivity, shape, tradition and history. In fact, humans have used glass so long, we could think of glass as sort of the "domestic dog" of the mineral world; it's such a part of human culture that our paths are intertwined. Tools and weapons using obsidian date back to prehistory, including some of the oldest artifacts known. Glass jewelry has long been treasured. And glass mirrors gave people the ability to look at ourselves, bringing us to reflect on our own identity.

Want More Science?

Glass and Quartz are polymorphs: same substance, different form.  When silicon dioxide builds up gradually over time, its trigonal lattice forms into the hexagon shape distinctive of Quartz.  But in some cases, both natural and artificial, the silicon dioxide cools much more quickly, and doesn’t have time to form this structure.  Instead, the molecules align themselves randomly.  Glass is a non-crystalline amorphous solid.

Natural forms of Glass:

Obsidian has a long record of use. Not only did its sharp points come in handy for weapons and tools, its reflectivity made it an excellent material for mirrors. In fact, a piece of polished black obsidian still makes the best and most natural black mirror for scrying (divination) and meditation. Obsidian's properties include exposing the truth in any situation, removing negative energy, grounding and balance, finding and correcting one's own weaknesses, and addressing power struggles. Obsidian mirrors are also ideal for a number of shamanic uses, including divination and time travel. Obsidian is mostly silicon dioxide, but also contains other minerals that turn it dark.

Some special forms of Obsidian:

Sheen Obsidian, which may contain air bubbles (gold sheen) or magnetite (rainbow sheen).

Snowflake Obsidian forms when, over time, obsidian begins to crystalize. The "snow" in this obsidian is actually crystals of cristobalite - similar to quartz, but with its own distinctive structure.  The snowflakes are called “phenocrysts.”

Apache Tears:

A natural form of volcanic glass -- mainly obsidian, often with a dusting of perlite. The name "Apache tears" comes from a combination of history and legend. In the 1870s, a band of Apache warriors was hiding from the US Cavalry in the rugged mountains of Arizona. They believed their hiding spot was too remote for anyone to find, but the soldiers managed to track them, taking them by surprise with overpowering numbers. Fifty Apache men were killed in the ambush; the rest escaped only by running their horses off a cliff and falling to their deaths.

For years afterward, people found their bones among the stones of the Pacacho Canyon. They also found the globules of dark, volcanic glass we now know as Apache tears. The legend arose that these were the tears of the Apache women, frozen into stone so their grief might never be forgotten.

Unfortunately, there is a LOT of fake Moldavite on the market. False information from people who claim to be experts on Moldavite can be misleading, so being able to identify authentic Moldavite is important.

 

The following article was contributed by Mike Eggleston of Inner Vision Crystals.

 

Moldavite is an amazing and rare stone. It is the first stone that I really "felt" energy from. I remember getting my first kilo nearly 10 years ago, and having to take breaks sorting through the stones. It has lead me on a journey that has become my career. I do not believe in coincidence, or the illusion of it - all things are connected. I view crystals as one of many tools to be used to raise our awareness and our consciousness.

Moldavite is such a beautiful and mysterious stone.

It’s the only Tektite like it, with the ability to facet some of the most beautiful green gemstones in the world. The stones themselves range from piece to piece, no two stones truly alike. The many differences in color, shape, and texture show the vast range of this stone. This variation exists as it cooled and fell back to earth, and then was buried under millions of years of erosion. They vary from the spiky textures of Besednice, to the thick, large stones of South Bohemia and Chlum. It is highly prized by collectors both for its rarity and its metaphysical appeal. It is deep in mythology and lore, ranging from Grail stories to its healing and awakening powers.

This green stone from the Czech Republic is truly one of the most amazing of all the stones in this world!

My company, Inner Vision Crystals, is at the forefront of exposing the fake Moldavite being sold on ebay and other parts of the web. We are in a very unique position, being the largest US Source for Moldavite. We work with our Czech Source, and handle more Moldavite than most can dream of on a daily basis.  I can now, after 11 years, tell fake Moldavite from real, from just a picture.

Watch this quick video to see a fake that was tested by Inner Vision Crystals at Colgate University’s Geology Department in Hamilton, NY:

Watch this video to see an authentic Moldavite stone up close and personal:

I estimate that up to 95% or more of all the Moldavite being sold on eBay from locations in Asia, both rough and faceted, are fake.

Fake Moldavite is hitting the market from China, in more shapes - probably from molds. This can be identified by a wet / shiny melted glass look. However sellers are changing this by acid-washing the pieces to get that "rough texture" look.  This should be a dead giveaway. It’s easy to tell the difference if you know what you are looking for. Many are the same shapes, "perfect", in all sizes. Be sure to compare with these real Moldavites.

I recommend avoiding dealers from China & Thailand online if their products look like the pieces on this page. Also, if it’s much cheaper than other dealers (though some are now charging top dollar for this fake stuff!).  Again, this is primarily being seen on sites like eBay, DHgate, Amazon & Etsy.

At the 2015 NY / NJ Gem show, there were many rough looking pieces, ALL Large and definitely fakes. I played with them and couldn't believe what I was seeing.  I emailed the dealer later to let him know.  All these have the same textures / skins, were poured in molds, and were then given acid baths or some kind of treatment to appear rough.They all look exactly the same and a few are even the same piece from the same mold!

High quality, fake Moldavite is coming out of Thailand with Certifications!

They have good color but are virtually flawless, with none of the tell tale signs of Moldavite.  Although some are starting to use glass material with bubbles, but the color is way off.  I saw this material in Tucson two years ago. A well known dealer from Thailand tried selling ...
