| Notes: |
All crystals, including Herkimer crystals are used in metaphysical healing work. While crystal healing is considered an alternative, even unorthodox practice, it cannot be argued that quartz, one of the most abundant and common minerals in the earth's crust, has impacted the lives of us all. Anyone wearing a watch or listening to the radio is able to do so because of quartz. Because of their crystalline lattice structure, crystals are very good at holding a stable vibration. They
amplify sound waves in a radio and light waves in
television. They are able to receive, focus and convert
energy.
Considering this, it is not such a stretch to apply crystals to our own electromagnetic bodies to receive, focus and convert the constant flow of energy bombarding us.
According to Melody, author of "Love is in the Earth", Herkimer's are the attunement stone and vibrate to the number 3. Their metaphysical properties also include increasing harmony, awareness, and spontaneity. They can also help to alleviate tension.
This Herkimer crystal has a wonderful look and feel. With it's many smooth facets (faces) it would make an excellent gem for metaphysical purposes. It would be one to carry in a pocket or make into a special pendant.
The clarity is very good; a wispy cloud-like inclusion reflects loudly in the images. One termination tip is sharp and well defined. The other is complete, but with a contact mark.
Whether for metaphysical pursuits or not, someone is certain to be drawn to this alluring Herkimer crystal.
