Quartz Characteristics and Crystal Formations
Crystal Formation Overview
Let’s talk about Quartz! In this blog post we’re going to be diving into different structures as well as surface characteristics of Quartz family crystals. But first, before we begin, I want to give an official and very important disclaimer that I am in no way an expert on any of this information and that everything in this blog post is from research as well as personal knowledge I have learned over the course of collecting and being interested in crystals.
It is also important to note that I have only touched the surface of the more factual/scientific/geographical information on these formations and characteristics, and that there are many other formations and characteristics that occur in Quartz than mentioned here. Even though I have listed metaphysical qualities for each of these, I encourage everyone to find their own meanings and interpretations of these pieces. All crystals have something different to teach us, and its important to tune into our crystals to see what exactly that is. 
 
Twin
What is a twin crystal?
A twin is a crystal that has two terminations caused by two crystals growing parallel from the same base. 
Twin crystals are also called Tantric Twins or Soulmate crystals. Quartz crystals can also have what is called an internal twin, which can’t be seen by the eye, but there are several external factors that indicate a point has internal twinning.

Metaphysical meaning
·        Can aid us in any relationship: family, significant others, friends.
·        Attract divine connections: working with these crystals can attract soulmates or soul family to our lives.
·        Helps us to find the heart of any issue, safely discuss them, and problem solve how to heal or fix it.
 
Double Terminated Crystals
What is a Double Terminated Crystal?
Also called a DT crystal for short. This type of crystal formation has a termination or point on both ends and can be found naturally or carved to be this shape like a wand. Since there is no base, energy flows from both ends of DT crystals and resembles the balance of giving and receiving.
This type of Quartz formation isn't as common to come across. Visually and scientifically, they are truly wonders to see. Energetically, they are very powerful crystals with a very specific energy.

Metaphysical meaning
·        Brings harmony and balance
·        Can be especially powerful when used during meditation or grid work.
·        Use for psychic ability (energy flowing from both ends is useful for psychic work such as connecting with higher self and/or spirit guides)
·        Assists with dream recall.
 
Self Healed Crystals
Self healed crystals are crystals that have broken off of the original matrix they began forming from. This is where they get their other common name “floater." This occurs due to various movements and shifts in the Earth (ex. earthquakes) as well as other things such as environment, pressure, and other crystals forming nearby. Once a crystal breaks off, it continues to grow over the broken end.
There are many stages of self healing. More underdeveloped self healed pieces will usually appear to be more flat with subtle scaley or triangular formations covering the area, they can be identified by moving around in various angles in the light. Other stages will have more established raised points like in the photo above. Some crystals are self healed to the point that they become a double terminated crystal.

Metaphysical
·        Similar to DT’s, self healed crystals are very powerful in grid work.
·        Vibrates with persistence and optimism.
·        Self healed crystals are excellent crystals for healing. Even though they have been through the trauma of being disrupted and damaged, they still push on and continue to grow and heal said damage. Working with them or even just admiring them reminds us that we too can move on and continue to grow despite the obstacles and challenges we go through.
 
Scepter Quartz
A Scepter crystal resembles an actual Scepter, which is an ornamental staff or wand carried by a king, queen or anyone of power. A scepter crystal is a natural point that has secondary growth over the termination. The second generation crystal, or the younger crystal is bigger than the first generation crystal. Sometimes the younger crystal can be smaller, in which case is called a reverse scepter. To be a scepter crystal the secondary crystal must be growing parallel to the older crystal point. Historically scepter crystals symbolize spiritual authority and power, making them excellent for stepping into and regaining our personal divine power within.

Elestial Quartz
Also known as Skeletal or Crocodile Quartz, Elestials are skeletal looking crystals with layers of terminations all over the surface. The general appearance of these crystals consists of layered geometric patterns, depressions/cavities, and raised terminations. This formation occurs during the crystallization process where there was unstable conditions as well as the faces forming slower than the edges. Elestials are notorious for having water inclusions because of their internal cavities.

Cathedral Quartz
Also called Lightbrary Quartz, Cathedral Quartz gets its name from its appearance closely resembling buttresses on cathedral architecture. It’s structure is essentially a crystal with several smaller crystal points that lead into one main crystal termination. The smaller points may or may not be completely formed or whole and grow/sit parallel to the main crystal body.

·        High vibrational crystals commonly used by lightworkers and healers of all kinds.
·        Lightbrary essentially stands for “Light Library” or the Akashic records and holds information of the past, present, and future. Their high vibrations helps to raise our own and more easily access this ancient wisdom.
·        Helps us to focus on the bigger picture of the world.
 
 
Chisel Tip
A chisel tip is when a the termination of a crystal is flat at the top and not in the shape of a traditional point. Also sometimes called “shovel tip” Quartz due to its resemblance of a shovel.
