Rutilated quartz

Rutilated quartz intensifies the power of the quartz crystal. It combines the properties of quartz with the properties in the rutile and sagenite. In addition, it affects both the etheric and the astral bodies. It assists one in getting to the root of a problem and hence, provides access to the reason for a disease or discomfort, so that one can remedy the situation. during astral travel, rutilated quartz provides for insight into the reasons for visiting the locations and viewing the scenes. It stimulates an awareness of the connections between this physical life and the situations viewed.

A type of rutilated quartz, which does not appear to be rutlitated is asterated quartz. Asterated quartz exhibits the pattern of a starlike luminous figure on the surface of the stone, during conditions of transmitted light. Asterated quartz occurs in the natural, clear/silky/cloudy white quartz, as well as in rose quartz and other varieties of quartz. The additional properties of Asterated quartz includes the connection to the “star people”, the genetic structure and cellular communication configuration being contained within the energy of the stone. This provides for communication with those from other galaxies, as well as other planets in the solar system of the earth. The asterated quartz which is made available to one is the one containing the transmitter of the “star person” or galactic entity whom one is to contact.

In addition, occasionally, there is curved rutile or curved sagenite within the quartz structure. This configuration brings the qualities of the curved crystal and selenite to meld with the properties of quartz, rutile, and sagenite. It further assists one in flowing with changes and with accepting alterations, adjustments, and insights to further these modifications. The association of the curved rutile or sagenite with quartz is rare.
