It's one of only a few Crystals on the planet which never need cleansing; instead absorbing & transforming any negativity it comes in contact with. It helps maintain focus & is also known as the Merchant’s Stone, attracting abundance & promoting prosperity to any business. As one of the best Solar Plexus Chakra Crystals, it can be used for any imbalance indicated in this area (aggressive & dominating personalities or weak-willed with low self-esteem, etc.) It's a powerful cleansing & revitalising Crystal making it excellent where there is lethargy & fatigue. Clear Quartz is one of the most abundant Crystals on the planet. It's not only found worldwide but occurs naturally in many different shapes & forms. The macroscopic (large crystal) types of Quartz have six principle properties. They can structure, store, amplify, focus, transmit & transform energy on every level. This is reflected in some of the different formations found such as channeller Crystals, transformation Crystals, double terminated Crystals, laser Crystals and so on, Clear Quartz, however, is the only truly ‘programmable’ Crystal known to man. This means that you can get a piece of Clear Quartz to ‘take on’ the attributes of virtually any other Crystal. If you had a bed of this amazing & versatile Crystal, & placed a piece of Amethyst on it for a period of time, it would start to pick up the energies of the Amethyst! This does not, however, produce a permanent change. You can also programme & dedicate pieces for chosen healing missions. For example, a healer or therapist could send a client home with a piece, programmed to continue the healing process started during the treatment session. Each week or fortnight, when they return, it can be cleansed & re-programmed. The clearer the piece, the more masculine (Yang) energy it has. This type also tends to have stronger, faster acting energy. The milkier specimens are more feminine (Yin) in energy and are better suited to long-term or chronic conditions. It's superb for cleansing, activating & charging all Chakras, & can be used to draw out pain from the physical body. It's a Crystal Healing essential, often accounting for the major part of any Crystal healing grid. Crackle Quartz retains the healing qualities of Quartz as well as the Chakra properties that have been introduced by the enhanced colour. Crackle Quartz is pure Quartz Crystal that's been super heated & then dyed to give it vibrant colours. Children especially love the bright colours of Crackle Quartz. For meditation with Crackle Quartz I recommend – Crackle Quartz (Aqua & Azure) connect with the Throat Chakra (blue energy). The focus of communication & action. Imbalance in the Throat Chakra may manifest as shyness & an inability to make yourself heard, or as boisterousness & a tendency to talk when we should listen. Balance here allows easy communication & is helpful for public speaking. Crackle Quartz (Lemon) connects with the Solar Plexus Chakra (yellow energy). Associated with joy & warmth, this Chakra influences your levels of self-esteem & self-recognition. It controls activity & allows clarity of thought. Balancing this Chakra facilitates wise decision making & will assist in determining which paths to follow. Crackle Quartz (Peach) connects with the Sacral Chakra (orange energy). Symbolising pride & prosperity, this energy gives the courage & strength to overcome inhibitions & suppression. This Chakra governs creative & emotional energy. Balancing this energy facilitates relationships with others & enables us to access our artistic & creative self Crackle Quartz (Ruby) connects with the Root Chakra (red energy) an energising colour used as a general tonic & to enhance courage, self-confidence, positive love & will power. Use red when you are striving for balance & to harmonise all Chakras. Crackle Quartz (Teal) & Crackle Quartz (Dusky Rose) connect with the Heart Chakra (green & pink energy). A healthy Heart Chakra enables you to both accept love & friendship as well as empathising with others. Trouble maintaining friendships or finding love indicates an unhealthy Heart Chakra. Use green Stones to open the Chakra, or pink Stones to be kinder & more loving toward yourself. Crackle Quartz (Violet) connects with the Third Eye Chakra (indigo energy). The Chakra of intuition, thought & spirituality. Balancing this Chakra will promote inner peace & the development of psychic awareness. Meditate on this Chakra to focus the power of creative visualisation. Crackle Quartz (White) connects with the Crown Chakra (white energy). Controls wisdom & understanding. Unhappiness, a sense of indecision & poor choices are all signs of an unbalanced Crown Chakra. Meditate to develop this Chakra & you will find wisdom & deepen your connection with the Divine & with the Universe. If there’s anything you need to know about the Crazy Lace Agate, it’s that it’s a happiness stone, also known as Happy Lace, or the Laughter Stone.
