Shapeshifter Ganesh Himal Cathedral Quartz Cluster (M9604) $64.00

When we say high altitude Himalayan Quartz we aren’t kidding, these crystals are mined by hand at an extraordinary 23,000 ft! Most high-altitude quartz is mined around 10,000 - 16,000 ft. Our crystals are from the Ganesh Himal whose peaks lie mainly on the Nepalese side of the border, however some peaks lie on the borders with Tibet. It’s only a man-defined border that defines these as Himalayan crystals instead of Tibetan crystals. We have a beautiful array of these crystals including citrine, forest green chlorite phantoms, hematite inclusions and much more. You’ll see them referred to as either Himalayan crystals or Nepalese crystals in our listings. There is truly a profound difference in the vibration of the energy of these crystals. It is very high and pure, yet still deeply connected to the resonances of the earth. You can feel both aspects of the divine energy as well as the earth energy, its such an amazing experience. These crystals have been honored from before they were mined. The miners hand harvest the crystals with deep respect to the mountain and the crystals. These miners adopt the village they are mining near, making sure that young and old alike are fed and clothed, as well as providing education. These crystals are on the expensive side, but considering the care and reverence to the earth and the crystals, as well as the altitude and distance they have traveled, they are truly a rare treasure.

We picked up this delightful spirit while in Tucson this year. It has a soft smoky silver hue to the color, but not enough to call it smoky quartz. All of the crystals have beautiful cathedral formations and are highly lustrous. There are couple bruises on the crystals, but I found I had to really hunt for them, they blend in so well. A bit of matrix still clings to the exterior as and there metallic inclusion which I believe is hematite. They help you cope with changing situations and having to be many things at the same time. Our lives are hectic and we wear many hats; teacher, student, employee, parent, nurse, housekeeper, financial advisor etc. (and that's just in one afternoon!) While looking at this enigmatic cluster I could see a snail, rabbit, dolphins, and many more animals, just like a shape shifter. They help you keep everything together despite the craziness of your life, while still reminding you to take time for yourself.

The cluster measures 2.25" x 1.75" x 1" and weighs 1.6 oz.

Cathedral Quartz crystals are named after their shape. They look like mini castles! The ones of the type shown above are not to be confused with Amethyst Geodes; these have only just started to be referred to Cathedrals in the last few years, where the crystals like the one shown above have been referred to Cathedrals for many decades. Clear Cathedrals are referred to as Lightbrary Cathedrals. Lightbraries are said to house the Libraries of Light!

These crystals have doorways in them, more often than not, in their castling definition. To travel into the crystal, just gaze into the doorway, you will see it open and your consciousness will be drawn into the crystal. From there you can travel into different chambers and receive information that you are ready for at that time. You can also travel in inner and outer space in complete safety within the crystal.
