“As I sit down to speak with this sparkly specimen, I feel a sense of male energy, no wait, female energy, no wait…I sit perplexed until a visual is presented to me.

You see, Brilliantwood is old and wise, strong and deeply connected with the Earth mother. What I see is an ancient Neanderthal couple, male and female. The physical strength and survival instincts of the male and the maternal, Earth connected, emotional strength of the female.

Brilliantwood is both The Shaman and the Crone, both wise in the ways of the ancient Earth, both caretakers and knowledge seekers. It is the strength of petrified wood meeting the sparkle and beauty of smoky quartz druzy. A perfect combination.

Brilliantwood has the capacity to ground and connect one to the Earth Center. It’s knowledge of the Earth, her natural treasures and her magic is vast. Those who are studying Earth oriented specialties, such as herbology, geology, environmental studies and such will benefit from the use of Brilliantwood. Working with Brilliantwood will allow a deep connection with the Earth, making the chosen study easier to absorb and understand.

Of course, in the same vein, Brilliantwood will be of immense help to those who take on a more spiritual/metaphysical connection to the Earth, be it the practice of Wicca, working as a medicine woman, or connecting with the beauty of creation that Mother Earth is responsible for.

The sparkles of this lovely specimen show me a vision of fairies and sprites. The magical beings that inhabit the deepest realm of the forest. What a magical connection!

Work with Brilliantwood to open a channel and create the connection necessary to receive the ancient knowledge stored within. It is an intense energy. Do not be afraid to go into this relationship slowly. Make sure you express your intent and open your inner eye and soul to receive.

This is a very protective stone. Protective in the sense that it will be a guardian of sorts, one who will share counsel when asked. Brilliantwood says, “I will not interfere in your choices, I will however be there with you through the experience and will not leave you. You see”, the specimen says, “sometimes it is not the outside that we need protection from, it is choices of our own making.”

Brilliantwood is an excellent grounding stone to keep with you when you are working to raise your vibration to channel, meditate, or connect with the higher realm. It will not interfere with the higher energies, it will simply keep the connection to the physical plane making a smoother transition when you have completed your work and need to come “back down to earth”.

Physically, Brilliantwood will help to remove/release harmful EMF’s from all types of electronic equipment (microwaves, computers, phones, TV’s, video games, etc). Brilliantwood is the new tool in my crystal arsenal for removing headaches, from the smallest bother in the back of the head to a full blown migraine. Brilliantwood will aid in the detoxification and cleansing of the body, including chemical detox.

Emotionally, Brilliantwood aids in the understanding of and consequent release of fears and phobias. It would be an amazing piece to use in the dissolution of nightmares and night terrors. The shiny sparkle of Brilliantwood helps to bring a sense of joy, which can remove stress and tension from both the physical body and the emotional body.

Brilliantwood has much to share with those who are ready to work from a place of deep, inner knowledge and complete awareness.” Crystal Communications with Mira Bai©
