While we were in Tucson this past spring, we came across a small batch of quartz spheres from Brazil.  Now we all know that Brazil produces some amazing minerals and crystals, but these quartz spheres were very intriguing and oh my the energy!  We picked up two to offer on the site.  The versatile mineral iron stains the two spheres a golden color, and provides the inclusion to make them both Golden Healers.  It gives them an incredible warmth of energy that is both protective and encouraging.  But the true delight of these small orbs are the myriad of fern-like dendrite inclusions.

Dendritic Quartz is an interesting and beautiful stone which appears to be included with fossilized plants, trees or ferns. The dendritic pattern is really inorganic manganese oxide. Traces of moisture and manganese, trapped inside quartz produces stains resembling trees branches or ferns called Dendrites.  This amazing spheres are just loaded with this delicate branches, lending them a very nature oriented energy in addition to the warm protectiveness of the Golden Healer inclusions.

This gorgeous sphere is loaded with dark gold and amber color stemming from a plane on one side of the orb.  This is the main inclusion of iron oxide, and in some places is completely opaque traced with thick dendrites.  As an excellent foil to the opacity of the area, there are brilliant rainbows that shimmer in that region as well.  With an ethereal and tantalizing mistiness, the rest of the orb is laced with delicate branches of dendrites.  The polish on the sphere is not smooth, especially where interior planes meet the surface.  However, the sphere glows with almost a cat-eye like radiance that will take your breath away.

This incredible sphere measures 1.2" in diameter and weighs 1.6oz.

Dendritic quartz facilitates a harmonious relationship with mother earth and a connection with nature. It is also said to stimulate past life recall and used to open and activate.

Crystal balls which have been contoured in the spherical configuration send energy in all directions and are the most unified of shapes. These spheres facilitate smoother communication in group gatherings by rounding off rough edges. They are often used as "windows" to faraway places-the past and the future. They have been used in the activity of gazing, as if from afar, in order to assist one in the evaluation of a present situation or circumstance. Crystal balls have been used to purify and to fill the gaps in the entire auric field when worn or held. Small spheres are also used as charms and worn or carried to prevent and/or to ameliorate degenerative diseases.

Spheres are wonderful for transmitting energy, as they do so in all directions! Rainbow quartz brings happiness into life through the rainbows. They help deal with negativity and help to maintain the constant awareness of love. Because of the rainbows, they produce the full spectrum of colors, the white light of healing and perfections being dispersed into the individual rays of the rainbow.
