Crystal Energy Structures

Attractor Crystals – from the Tetragonal Crystal System

Attractors have an internal structure built on the rectangle that often manifests itself by producing minerals with a surface sheen that seems to catch your eye and attract you to the crystal or even the rough mineral specimen. These crystals like Zircon stand out and are noticed by the play of light over their surface. These crystals are perfect when your purpose is to attract someone or something to you.

 Attractors help you focus on being attractive so that what you are seeking will actually seek you. Gaining recognition, winning friends, or attracting wealth are all needs that Attractors can help you fulfill. Used in conjunction with Seekers, the Attractor talismans can provide you with very potent and focused energy.

Be aware however, that the Attractors seem to have a passive energy, like a magnet. When nothing is around to attract, the energy of a magnet seems to be gone. It is only energized when something is around to attract. Then suddenly a magnet’s power is apparent. So too, the Attractors seem to have a waiting element to their energy. If nothing comes along the Attractor doesn’t seem to have much power. That is why they are used with Seekers. The Seekers help us get out and find what we need. Then the Attractors power can be applied. Avoid reliance on Attractors alone. You might someday get what you desire, but it could be a very long wait.

Barriers protect from the undesirable elements of life

Shop for Barrier Crystals

With the inner form of a trapezium, a structure with no right angles, a triclinic crystalline structure gives a crystal strength in all directions allowing it to providing barriers to attack from all directions simultaneously. These Barrier crystals are very effective amulets for defending yourself from the misfortunes of this world.

It can be a dangerous world. Disease, war, famine, heartbreak, accidents, and misfortunes of all kinds can await us. Ships founder, cars crash, the flu spreads. The Barrier crystals are useful when you want to protect yourself from such misadventures. They can aid you in your efforts to prevent mishaps and keep away from harm. The minerals that form in the triclinic, Barrier crystal structure are the true protection crystals.

The Barrier crystals are similar to Guardian crystals; the difference is the focus. The Guardians are crystals that help you focus on protecting something you value – an inward focus in a way.  In contrast, the Barrier crystals are externally focused – on keeping specific undesirable environments away. Many efforts can be successful using either type of talisman. We can use a Guardian crystal to guard our health, or a specific Barrier crystal to keep a particular disease away. The choice is an individual one that mostly depends on the focus of a specific need or desire. Often these crystals are used together.

However, even alone, the Barrier crystals have incredible abilities to help us focus and amplify our efforts to keep undesirable elements out of our lives. One particularly powerful Barrier, Turquoise, has a long history of success as a protective talisman. The Native American culture has long recognized the power of this mineral and still uses it extensively to protect themselves and their way of life.

Guardians – protecting you, your family, and your dreams

Shop for Guardian Crystals

When you have something you want to protect use a crystal that forms in the monoclinic system.  These Guardian crystals have an internal structure that is composed of parallelograms. The parallel structure of their crystalline lattice gives these crystals their power to protect us in the physical world and in the spiritual one. The Guardian talismans do not reveal their inner strength. These stones rarely, if ever, form transparent crystals. Rather, they hide their strength behind an opaque mask, obscuring the power they possess.

In the physical world they are excellent aids in protecting your loved ones, your possessions, and your physical security. They are very useful in protecting houses and homes, property, and valuables. If you have prized possessions you want to guard and protect, use a Guardian crystal. They are also useful for travelers and adventures to take with them on their travels as insurance against harm. They are useful for emergency workers, soldiers, sailors, and airmen in the performance of their dangerous duties.

In the spiritual world, the Guardian crystals have several special uses. They first serve to guard your beliefs against doubt. Everyone at some point begins to doubt some of his or her most cherished beliefs. That doubt can grow and affect our lives. A Guardian crystal can help you keep true to your ideals and beliefs. The Guardian crystals can also protect your spirits. If you anticipate a trying and difficult, even stressful future, a Guardian can be very effecting in aiding your efforts to maintain your disposition, sense of humor, and respect for others.

The minerals that form in this monoclinic system are also known as the Dreamholders. They often appear to have a hazy surface as if there is something veiled from our sight just beneath the surface. This is best observed in the Moonstone. This stone, being a Dreamholder, is a particularly powerful mineral when used to aid you in focusing your energy to hold onto your dreams.

Crystals that Enhance your Life, Relationships, and Abilities

Shop for Enhancer Crystals

Enhancers are minerals and crystals that form in the Isometric crystal system.  They have internal crystal lattices of perfect cubic symmetry and internal harmony. They form perfect building blocks internally.  Often this internal structure of equality and perfect right angles produces crystals of equally perfect external shapes: cubes!

These are the “building block” crystals. Their internal structure of blocks builds up perfect crystal lattices that can help us focus our efforts to build on our successes and enhance our lives. Whereas the Seeker system produces crystals and minerals that aid in new beginnings, the Enhancers of the isometric system aid us in building on our successes and achievements.

Many of these crystals are used for self-improvement. Both physically and mentally, we all seem to be trying to get better at something. We want to be able to run faster, jump higher, shoot more accurately, serve a tennis ball faster, or just jog all the way to the corner.  We want to be more patient, kinder, or just learn to be more attentive.  When its “more of something” you want use a Enhancer crystal in your efforts to get it.

This crystal system, with its internal structure so perfectly arranged, also holds the energy we need to help us arrange our life in a more orderly manner. This crystal order produces excellent talismans of order, rule, law, constancy, higher ideals, patterns, simple connections, fitting in a social order, linking, learning, growing consistently, and acting logically.

Seekers help you find that which you desire, yet lack

Shop for Seeker Crystals

Seekers are minerals that form in the Hexagonal crystal system. These minerals form with their molecules arranged in triangular structures, nature’s simplest form that looks like an arrowhead. The minerals of the Hexagonal crystal system often form crystals with an external shape that mirror their internal arrangement; appearing like an arrow or pointer.

With this alignment of the visible external structure and the internal one providing directions and focus, these crystals and minerals are powerful aids when we desire to acquire that which we do not yet possess. These crystals’ energy structure will focus and multiply your desires and efforts to point to a path to that which you seek.

The Seekers are powerful, numerous, and very useful crystals that will help you be successful in starting a new effort. The Seeker crystals help you to discover new opportunities and to achieve new goals. These are the fresh start crystals; the crystals of new beginnings and new discoveries. These are the crystals of the scientist, the adventurer, the hunter, the wanderer, and the explorer. They are also the crystals of the student and the researcher.

Seeker crystals are pointers, directors, and compasses. They help you align your feelings for new beginnings into thoughts that are focused on discovery. Those thoughts lead to actions that result in the discovery of the new approaches, new angles, and new beginnings you seek. Those actions, as they become habits, develop into a new life.

Seeker crystals are probably the most popular type of crystal. When you need help to find new relationships, new love, new capabilities, new experiences, or new ways of living, Seekers give you the needed ability to focus and amplify your abilities to seek out the new elements you desire. Seekers contain the crystal energy structure that aligns the natural energy of the crystal to the natural power of the human mind to find your way to new horizons and new capabilities.

As a note, some mineral texts split out the Trigonal system, but modern systems place it as a subsystem of the hexagonal. Both are Seekers with their molecules arranged in triangles.

Crystals that promote optimism and filter out negative energy

Shop Filter Crystals

Filter crystals are framework silicates. formed by three-dimensional grids of tetrahedrons of silicates that very much look and act like a filter. They absorb certain things and allow others to pass. They filter energy, allowing positive charges to flow and blocking negative ones when properly used and aligned. The feldspars are common Filters, and they have a wide variety of crystal applications.

Filters are similar to Buffers, but have a more specific use. The Buffers are general use crystals used when the need is to achieve balance in life by buffering pressures. The Filters, on the other hand, are used to keep negative energy away from us. When we want help to see the best in others, to give others the benefit of the doubt, to see the good side of something, we need a Filter. It is too easy in life to see the glass half empty, the child as a poor student, or the spouse as a slob. Filters help us see the glass half full, the child as a loving, well-meaning young lady, and the spouse as an excellent provider, devoted to his family.

The Filters are a fairly widespread and abundant group of minerals. Nature seems to find it necessary to make them readily available. This is fortuitous. Their positive energy is important to all of us. We all need help seeing the beauty in life, the good in humanity, and the glory that is the natural Earth.

Many efforts to gain what we lack depend on a constant positive outlook and an ability to see the goodness in life. The Filters, particularly the ones with the crystal energy of Seekers and Enhancers, are excellent crystals for a wide variety of efforts.

Lapis lazuli, sodalite, and stilbite in particular are Enhancers with the earth power of Filters. These crystals are excellent for improving everyone’s life by giving them more of a positive outlook and enabling them to appreciate the bounty of this Earth. When found in a light blue color, lapis lazuli is a superb crystal for finding peace and calmness through acceptance and enjoyment of the earth’s bounty.

Crystals that promote long-term relationships

Shop for Bonder Crystals

Bonders are called sheet silicates by scientists. These crystals are formed when silicate tetrahedrons connect in sheets, producing very cohesive minerals. They are very tough to cut.

Bonders are outstanding crystals to use when there is need to create something that is bound tightly. Like glue bonding wooden planks together, Bonder crystals are useful in cementing relationships and agreements. They help hold things together. Serpentine is the best-known example. Biotite and lepidolite are less known, but they are powerful crystals of this class.

Bonder crystals are particularly well suited to efforts that involve getting a consensus, working out difficulties caused by differing points of view, and negotiating.

The Bonders’ power is to get people working together. They help you form relationships that get better with age. Bonders help make contracts work out in the long term by ensuring that they are based on clear understandings, and that each party is a beneficiary of the contract.

They help keep families, communities, and organizations together. They have power that is similar to that of the Unifiers, but they are more focused on sealing non family relationships than the Unifiers.
