Specialty Aura
Quartzes
|
|
|
by Raven |
|
|
Specialty Aura Quartzes are manmade, artificially bonded with gold, titanium, cobalt, and platinum, or a combination of metals onto the purest Quartz Crystals. Despite being artificially created, Aura Quartzes has an intense energy reflecting the alchemical process that bonds metals onto pure quartz. It is a valid classification as it has properties of the metal in addition to the properties of pure quartz crystals.
The magical powers of Quartz have been recorded since earliest times; they have been used as amplifiers for energy fields. It has been referred to as the "Stone of Power". Most of the beliefs connected with quartz center around its use as a communications device or an object, which enhances vision or brings "visions" to its possessor. Its modern use is in the controlling of radio frequencies. Quartz was discovered as piezoelectric in 1921, meaning it will generate an electrical charge. Quartz is also pyroelectric and will generate a charge when subjected to heat or rubbed vigorously.
Scientific Properties:
Color: Blue, Cobalt, Rose, Ruby, Rainbow and Yellow
Hardness: 7
Crystal System: Trigonal
Location: Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Uruguay, and Worldwide

Myths and Legends:
" (referring to Quartz Crystals, as Specialty Aura Quartzes are New Age Stones, although Quartz Crystal set in Gold is mentioned)
Egyptian Temple of Hathor: Large Crystals of fine quality were found
Fifth Century B.C.: Greek priest Onomacritis gave advise re this transparent crystal " Who goes into the temple with this in his hand may be quite sure of having his prayer granted, as the gods cannot withstand its power". He further states, "that when this stone is laid upon dry wood, so that the sun's rays may shine upon it, there will soon be seen smoke, then fire, then bright flame", also known to the Ancients as "Holy Fire".
Ancient Romans: connected colorless quartz with ice, held in their hands to reduce the effects of summer heat, glandular swelling, to reduce fevers and relieve pain.
First Century mystic Apollinus of Tyana used quartz to "transport" himself. He dematerialized and materialized in the presence of Caesar Domitian. He used the gem to disappear and reappear at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius.
Renaissane Viennese scientist Pribill claimed to have recreated this feat through extensive experimentation. He stated the secret lay in the cut of the stone - first exposed to the tropical sun, and then held in the mouth and accompanied by the proper incantation, Pribill claimed to have disappeared and reappeared on numerous occasions.
Indian Sanskrit texts: "The demon god Vala was slain by the demigods and dismembered. His body parts were scattered across universe, creating gemstones we know today. The Vedic text says the potent semen of Vala was transformed into seeds of quartz. These seeds germinated in the Himalayan and the lands to their north. The virility of Vala's seeds caused quartz crystals to spread across the globe. It further states: wearing pure crystals of quartz, when set in gold, will bring good fortune in life and protect one from dangerous animals, including tigers, wolves, leopards, elephants and lions. Quartz also bring the wearer extraordinary sexual prowess and protects from drowning, burning and theft. The Indian text also states: that wearing pure quartz while drinking a toast to one's ancestors will bring them lasting happiness.
Christian mythology: used quartz for burial stones, includes references to burial with rock crystal and cites a passage in Revelations to give validity of this belief, Rev 2:17 "To him that overcometh... I will give a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth save he that receiveth it".
British Isles: in studies of traditions by Janet and Colin Board found: "Until recently, crystals of quartz and white stones called Godstones were placed in Irish graves and the fisher-folk on Inveraray followed the custom of placing white pebbles on the graves of their friends".
The Celts used quartz as an essential part of their burial rituals, burying pieces of the gem in the spiral barrows they constructed for the dead. Since earliest recorded history the spiral has served as a symbol of life and rebirth in many cultures.
Scottish traditions, white quartz pebbles are placed in the mouths of the deceased to allow them to communicate more efficiently in the after-life.
Scottish Highlands believes, a crystal set in silver and worn about the back was thought to be effective for disease of the kidneys.
Native American believed spirits dwelled in rock crystal and would speak to their medicine men. Apache Indians used rock crystals as "good medicine" in many rituals and considered the stone to bear the divine light.
