P> WHITE HEAD QUARTZ - Melody has worked with this crystal and here are her findings of the metaphysical properties: "It has been interesting to work with quartz from a specific locale at the exclusion of other quartz from other areas. In addition to the properties formerly researched for quartz, the following has been noted. The WhiteHead Mine quartz tends to brighten pale and ashen appearances and characters, bringing more spice, enthusiasm, passion, and spirit to ones being; and, bringing smoothness to ones nature and personality. It has been used to stimulate aptitude for intelligent communication, both on the physical plane (inspiring the mind and the quickening of the wit) and through the etheric realms (being a superior energetic stone for opening the crown chakra). In the etheric realms, it has stimulated receiving abilities for information from those who experienced ancient civilizations (e.g. the first civilizations on this planet-stemming from what has been called the twelfth planet), and from civilizations, which have not been in residence upon our earth. Historical information has been transferred, and rational abstracts have been developed. Used by a person in a dominant role, the energy has been shown to provide success in the direction the energy is focused. It has also been shown to abate explosive outbursts (even if they occur), by extracting the cause from the situation; clarity is promoted and suddenly, calmness prevails. "Burying the hatchet" is a cliché, which comes to mind-After holding this quartz, there, is absolutely no reason that one can determine for "holding a grudge". The general themes of the energy of this WhiteHead Mine quartz are communication, intelligence, release, and actualization. On the health side, in addition to brightening ones aura and ones physical appearance, it has been used as an elixir (taken internally and placed externally on the crown chakra) to stimulate all of the above, and to assist in the recovery of atrophy from muscular deterioration. I love this quartz and find the clarity and evenness of energy to be one of the most beautiful of all the quartz on the planet".
