SPECIMEN — Specimens with multiple varietals of mineral growth offer a cocktail of their combined properties. These stones offer a chance to work with a unique range of energies simultaneously. With this piece, you get the energetic effects of a clear quartz point, and because clear quartz is the ultimate amplifier of any crystal it is paired with, it will turbo-charge the energetic properties associated with black tourmaline. This combination represents dualities that work in harmony. Light and dark are complementary aspects on opposite ends of the spectrum that simultaneously ground and protect while enlightening.

CLEAR QUARTZ

“The All-In-One”

ENERGY: Expansive, Pure

FOCUS: Amplifies and clarifies / Directs energy so it can be multi-purpose

Clear quartz is the most versatile and universal crystal that there is. It both absorbs and emits light. It can be used to turbo-boost the qualities of other stones or for pretty much any intention just by itself. This is the single most important foundation stone to begin with when you are first learning about energy.

Quartz points are best utilized in situations to intentionally direct or move energy towards or away from a conscious target.

BLACK TOURMALINE

“The Filter”

ENERGY: Grounding, Protective, Cleansing, Releasing, Active
FOCUS: Neutralizes internal negative energy, redirects it from external influences / Establishes energetic barriers
USE FOR: If drained, attacked, or impacted by the effects of toxic energy / Energetic detox / Reducing neurosis / Protection from unwanted energetic influences

Black Tourmaline, with its vertical striations, channels and moves energy at a very rapid pace. Unlike quartz, tourmalines do not absorb energy (imagine quartz as sponges and tourmalines as straws). When they come into contact with negative energy they simply filter it and transform it back to a neutral frequency. Tourmalines direct energy from one source to another, which is why the black variety (schorl) is a very efficient and powerful stone for removing negative energy from one’s auric fields or physical environment (pair with quartz so excess energy can be dissolved). Black Tourmaline is known as a protective stone because not only does it rid you of any toxic vibrations that you are producing or holding on to, but if you come into contact with them through external interaction with an individual or space, this crystal acts as a shield by deflecting this energy away from you.
