Crystal Configurations and Structures The shapes and structures of the members of the mineralogical
kingdom vary with natural occurrence and with enhancement by humanity. Both
unpolished/natural and polished crystalline forms of any given crystal
configuration embrace and provide the same energies. Some shapes which are
fabricated provide for properties identical to those shapes found within the
earth; fabrication of other shapes will not produce identical properties. Other
fabricated shapes provide unique properties of both direction and use to the
contained energy. Below are some examples of Crystal Configurations.
The facets of a crystal can determine the direction in which the energy flows
from a crystal. The angles and shape of the facets will give direction to the
energy. This is also true for facetted stones. It should be noted than when a
stone is facetted , the energy is somewhat smoother and the magnitude tends to
increase. However, as long as one is working in the realm of light and love ,
the facetted form of any crystal will not be over-intense or over-powering; ones
capacity tends to adapt with the amount of energy available.
Record Keeper Crystal
The Record Keeper Crystal is recognised by a raised (or several raised) perfect
triangle(s)located on one or more of the crystal faces. The associated
attributes will not be exhibited by fabrications of this form.
Generator Crystal
The Generator Crystal is recognised by a configuration of crystal faces all
joining at the top of each crystal face, in the same location, in order to form
the terminated apex. The fabricated configuration also exhibits identical
properties.
Barnacle Crystal
The Barnacle Crystal is recognised as a crystal covered or partially covered
with smaller crystals. The associated attributes will not be exhibited by
fabrication of this form.
Manifestation Crystal
The Manifestation Crystal is recognised as a crystal in which a smaller crystal
is totally enclosed. The associated attributes will not be exhibited by
fabrication of this form.
Tabular Crystal
The Tabular Crystal is recognised as a flat crystal with notches on one or both
of the flat sides. The associated attributes will not be exhibited by
fabrication of this form.
Key Crystal
The Key Crystal is recognised, in the quartz crystal, by a six sided (varying
sided in other crystals) indented shape which is located on a face of, or on a
side of, the crystal. The indent usually becomes narrower as it goes within the
crystal, ending within the crystal (in an apex termination in the quartz
crystal; in a variety of termination configurations in other crystals). The
associated attributes will not be exhibited by fabrication of this form.
Bridge Crystal
The Bridge Crystal is recognised by a small crystal partially in and partially
out of a larger crystal. The associated attributes will not be exhibited by
fabrication of this form.
Rainbow Crystal
The Rainbow Crystal is recognised by fractures, producing rainbows within the
crystal. The associated attributes will not be exhibited by fabrication of this
form.
Phantom Crystal
The Phantom Crystal is recognised by a "phantom" crystal within the crystal. The
phantom, an image of the structure of another crystalline mineral, is comprised
of a white of coloured mineral and may be partial or complete. The associated
attributes will not be exhibited by fabrication of this form.
Dendritic Crystal
The Dendritic Crystal is recognised by a branching figure or marking resembling
a tree, fern, or moss-like form. The associated attributes will not be exhibited
by fabrication of this form.
Self-Healed Crystal
The Self-Healed Crystal is recognised by small crystalline structures at the
location where the crystal was removed from its matrix or home. Another type of
self-healed crystal is one which has been broken (exhibiting the break in the
horizontal plane or close to the horizontal strata), with the break being healed
and the crystal structure being complete again. The associated attributes
will not be exhibited by fabrication of this form.
Sheet or Lens Crystal
The Sheet or Lens Crystal occurs in the formation of flat layers. The fabricated
configuration also exhibits identical properties.
Twin Crystal
The Twin Crystal is recognised as a growing together of two or more individual
crystals such that certain portions of each crystal are in parallel alignment
and other portions of each crystal are in reverse positions with respect to each
other . The associated attributes will not be exhibited by fabrication of this
form.
Transformation Crystal
The Transformation Crystal can be found in any and all configurations. It is
usually not recognised until the beginning of the transformation, i.e., changes
in shape, quality and/or colour. Fabrication of this form is not possible.
