Hexagonite: This pinky/purple specimen has very delicate, sparkling, flaky crystals all over the face. Its energies are very soft and gentle. While we do know from some research it is part of the Tremolite family, it feels to me to be more of a calming, peaceful specimen, possibly aligning from the heart chakra up and through the 8th chakra, that of universal love and beyond :) When meditating with this piece, it calms me to the point of stopping the "chatter " in my head and I have a very wonderful, tranquil meditation.

Tremolite: This mineral can be used to facilitate contact with those on the physical plane, or elsewhere. Projecting the visualized form of a person into the mineral helps to bring that person near-always in spirit, sometimes in form. The energy of this stone is dependent on the negativity or Positivity emitted from the environment in which it is located. Most areas are similar with respect to the amount of energy available; the more enlightened and/or spiritual beings there are in an area, the stronger the force. Tremolite can be used in the treatment of calcium and magnesium deficiencies and to promote the assimilation of these minerals. ** A caution here, some of the flakier Tremolite/Hexagonite contains asbestos fibers.

There is much talk of a second heart chakra that is opening up in all of us and I cannot help but feel that this stone has come along to assist in that aspect.

Jeffrey's Quartz: This spectacular quartz is named after the mine from which it came. The Jeffrey Quarry, located in North Little Rock, AR, was the site of the discovery of solution quartz. The burr crystals formed in pockets of rectorite as many single crystals grew and interlocked together. Literally, millions of needle crystals were recovered from pockets of gel-like, rectorite-filled vugs in fractured quartz veins over the 15-year period that the site was open. The best crystals ever to come from this site have several common characteristics: water clear; open interlocked clusters and haystacks (haystacks have no attachment point, they formed as free-floaters in the veins) and brilliant luster. Many of these crystals are multi-terminated on one, if not both ends.

Jeffrey's Quartz, or more commonly known as Solution Quartz is now being revived as one of the most powerful healing crystals to date. Healers of every modality are seeking out the Jeffrey's for its amplification properties and long distance healing abilities.

Once a Jeffrey's crystal has been programmed with the holder, a bond is formed and only increases with each use of the crystal.
