🦊💚💙 GARDEN QUARTZ LORE 💙💚🦊 Garden Quartz, aka: "Shamanic Dream Stone", are polished, included crystals, and each of these stones is cut from a natural crystal which carries within it a variety of different minerals. Having a highly polished, domed lens to bring out its natural beauty seems to "bring to life" the tiny mineral inclusions within, creating an almost "garden" looking scene, or "ocean floor" looking kingdom inside the stone. The inclusions most commonly found within these crystals are Chlorite, which is a mossy green, Fluorite, which is most often a moss-like purple, tiny filaments of red, orange, gold, green, white, silver or sometimes black Rutile, red moss-like inclusions, just to name a few. Garden Quartz are dynamic, potent and effective allies for gazing, meditation and journeying. They are a portal; they support and enhance connecting to the Luminous World. You can hold the stone in your hands, or, place it on your altar or a table in front of you and gaze into the stone; follow the contours of the world within it. Slowly close your eyes, and allow the stone to guide you during your journey or mediation. Clear Quartz magnifies all of the properties within the stone into one potent energy. The natural tendency of Garden quartz is for harmony, and is recognized as a stone of clarity and peace. It dispels negativity in ones energy field and environment, aligns the chakras, and is a very powerful spiritual healer during Reiki and meditation. They make a wonderful companion stone for those who are studying shamanic ways, exploring the "dream time" or past lives or gazing into a probable future, or past life. Each tiny mineral world beckons the viewer to go within its magical under water-like kingdom to find endless beauty, and it is an excellent stone for dream work, sleep meditation, and aids peaceful rest and soothing dreams.
