Elestial formations are truly beautiful; they are complex in their simplicity. Smoky quartz is most frequently found in this formation. Smoky elestials have a range of color from light to dark and different degrees of depth to their formation, often occurring with phantoms and occasionally even enhydro bubbles. I find them endlessly fascinating; it is so easy to get lost in their formations. While they have certain formations in common, there really is no such thing as a typical elestial. They are known by many different names, jacare quartz, skeletal quartz, and crocodile quartz just to name a few. Elestials can form as interlocking plates and complex etchings some say the formations look like the scales of a crocodile (hence the origins of that name). With skeletal elestials, you can see layers of crystals almost like the layers of an onion; they are often accented by clay inclusions. Elestials can also have doorways and self-healed formations; they can appear as wands, scepters, overlays, and sometimes as a combination between an elestial and cathedral.

Each smoky elestial has a unique energy; however they all have certain qualities in common. They all have grounding energies, yet combined with their higher vibration energies, they give you the comfort and security you need to explore, knowing that help is nearby if you need it. They make the higher vibration energies more accessible, adjusting it to your current needs and abilities. They are companion crystals, working with you as you grow, matching your needs. They are all master healers; most have a golden energy like honey that is soothing and nourishing. They work to cleanse and purify all systems of the body. Every healing collection should include at least one smoky elestial!

This is a fantastic elestial formation.  Sitting on a thick white quartz matrix, the pale smoky elestial crystals jump like spires towards the sky making me think of skyscrapers.  The formations are quite intricate expanding my vision into a whole city of angelic elestials.  There are elestials of every size and description, some with record keepers, some with scepters, some covered in self healing, some with phantoms, some with moving enhydros.  Like any city, it will take time to learn all this elestial's secrets so spend some time using a loupe on this magnificent formation.  This beauty is from Brazil.

The formation measures 3.3" x 2.7" x 2.5" and weighs 14.1oz.

The translation for Elestial is “Crystal of the Angels” and thus has a strong link with the Angelic realm. One may retrieve information stored in Elestials by running your hands over the etching of the crystal, before long your hands start moving on their own, you are reading the crystal much the same way as the blind use Braille language. It is best to clear the mind and have no expectations through this process.

A crystal that has pyramidal or triangular shaped symbols that are either engraved into or are raised on one or more of a crystal faces is called a Record Keeper or Recorder. These symbols are not easily seen and usually need to be searched out by looking at the crystal in a bright light while closely examining the faces. It is believed that the Record Keeper is one of the most sacred crystals because it holds the wisdom and knowledge of the universe. When a person is properly attuned to a Record Keeper, this knowledge is readily made available. This knowledge is ancient knowledge and contains profound secrets and esoteric knowledge of the whole of the Higher Consciousness. It takes an open mind and a pure heart to access this knowledge.
