Oh what a treasure this crystal is!  This is one of those pieces that you can get lost in for days just exploring the mists and the nooks and crannies and inclusions and looking for water bubbles and just letting the color wash over you.  This gorgeous elestial was polished as close to natural form as possible, so it still retains its elestial formations.  In the deeper nooks and crannies you can see the thick white film that coated the entire crystal obscuring its amazing interior.  Double terminated, the elestial has multiple points going in both directions.  Speckling the main two points are lots of deep scarlet lepidocrocite inclusions, marking this as a fire crystal.  These beautiful inclusions contrast beautifully with the sweet amethyst, and the energy of the fire inclusions provides an incredible balance to the energy of the enhydro bubbles.  Combined with the smoky and white quartz, this crystal has an energy that will cover a wide spectrum, from the physical, emotional and spiritual levels.  This amazing piece is from Madagascar.

Water has been found in chalcedony, agate and quartz and is usually perceived by the presence of moving gas bubbles in the water. Very occasionally, there are pockets of water with no bubble but a tiny floating inclusion.

As water indicates the emotions, these crystals can have a profound effect on our emotional life. In Nature, water that cannot move becomes stagnated - as emotions that cannot be expressed stagnate. Enhydros contain water trapped in very limited space, but the water has remained clean and pure for millennia. The signature of these crystals indicates a purification of the emotions, even if those emotions stagnated under conditions of severe deprivation.

They are beautiful, mysterious and powerful crystals, which you will rarely come across.
