These are very nice Quartz Crystal Merkaba Star crystal pendants or pendulums. I have several of these that are very nice - the photos shows a couple I'm not sure of what the metal is made from and the price reflects this. It's much better in person than the photo shows. It measures approx. 1/2" across. The normal retail price of this crystal is $32.50.
"Merkaba" is an ancient Egyptian word to describe the energy or Aura that swirls around people. It translates as :
MER = Rotating fields of light KA = Spirit BA = Soul
A 'Merkaba' field or Aura, exists around all living things, protecting and nurturing them. High vibrational thoughts like love, acceptance, truth and forgiveness strengthen your merkaba, speeding its rotation. Fearful and negative thoughts weaken and slow your merkaba.
Merkaba meditations facilitate spiritual growth and activation. Working with the merkaba can strengthen your creative power and speed positive change in your life.
It measures approx. 5/8" across. The normal retail price of this crystal is $32.50.
Quartz is often said to be the ‘stone’ that every one needs to start with and is the most recognized type of crystal. It's what many people think of when they hear the word crystal, although there are many different types of crystals in all kinds of stones.
Quartz can be as clear as ice (ancients called quartz ‘Holy Ice’ and thought that it came from the heavens) or milky white. It can have inclusions, veils, bubbles, formations, etc. Clarity is not important for a quartz crystal's energetic quality. In fact inclusions and impurities can make the crystal more energetic and increase it’s ability to amplify subtle energies. Without a few 'imperfections, the energy is often not as intense. Lab crystals are grown with impurities on purpose.
Quartz can store energy, amplify it, focus it, transmit it, transform it, balance it, absorb it… Various types are better for some things than others. Quartz in any form is a powerful stone. Quartz is used to dispel and clear negative
Quartz has long been used to direct and amplify thoughts and intentions, because all thoughts are a form of energy and intentions shape and effect subtle energy. Because of this, it is useful for healing work, meditation, protection, and manifesting and channeling. Quartz has long been thought to store and retrieve information of all types. Information is just another form of an energy pattern. Quartz is held on the third eye chakra for increased clarity of psychic vision, and has often been used to perceive and commune with spirits and other worlds, often used for astral travel, scrying, channeling, dream recall and dream work. Quartz has long been thought to counteract black magic and protect from negative energy on all levels.
