We were sent this crystal for review purposes. All images and opinions are our own.
For many years I’ve enjoyed having crystals around me. My Grandma loved amethyst, so at an early age I was gifted some lovely little gemstones from her and that was the start of my love for crystals and gemstones.
For the last 20 years or so, I’ve carried a little piece of citrine in my purse. Citrine is supposed to encourage wealth, and whilst I’ll not be retiring to Monte Carlo anytime soon, I’ve always had enough money in my purse to feed my family, and that’s wealth enough for me.
When I was pregnant with my son, I was given a small hand carved rose quartz angel, and to this day she sits by my bed, watching over me. In times of emotional need, I pop a small flat piece of rose quartz in my bra, by my heart, and that brings me calm and peace and love.
Also near my bed is a piece of obsidian, for protection. I’ve had a difficult few years, and since placing the stone there, things have changed for the better in my life.
I really love buying crystals and having them around me in my home. I recently discovered Persephone, an online shop based in Lincoln, which sells rare and unusual crystals. They have some absolute beauties available, so I’ve added a new piece of Brazilian quartz to my collection.
Quartz crystals in their simplest, clearest form are just beautiful. I just love the way the sunlight beams through them and sprinkles rainbows around my room. I have several hung up on windows to catch the light.
The most recent addition to my crystal collection is a stunning clear 5.4cm, 30g quartz obelisk tower from Brazil. Clear quartz is great for amplifying energy, it contains all colours of the rainbow, which helps to balance all chakras. It’s primarily known as a healing stone, and is often used by reiki practitioners.
This stunning obelisk tower is an excellent crystal for beginners, and can be used during meditation to help bring clarity and it’s well known for being an energy amplifier.
It has some beautiful inclusions, and each crystal tower has been cut to make the most of its individuality, so each piece is absolutely unique.
People buy crystals for all kinds of reasons. I’m pretty basic in that I like the look of them and enjoy having them around me. I know a little of their properties and I have some small pieces I carry with me for specific reasons. Other people use them properly, for reiki, meditation, or for spell work or similar. I think it’s really fine just to enjoy them because they’re pretty, like I do.
I’m not going to make any grand claims about how my clear Brazilian quartz crystal has changed my life, but it’s a beautiful addition to my collection, and when the sun shines through it, it sparkles so joyfully, and we all need little sparkles of joy these days, don’t we?
Persephone specialise in high quality and rare crystals that you wouldn’t find in your standard crystal shop, and if you enjoy crystals, then you could really lose yourself on their website. They also have a YouTube channel where you can learn more about their beautiful crystals.
