Arkansas Quartz Crystal, the Eighty Pound Giant

The star of the Peachfront Press Arkansas Quartz Crystal Collection is this eighty-pound single-terminated point...



The tip is imperfect but we have never altered or attempted to recut this stone in any way. This is the genuine crystal as it was found and shaped by nature--



A large grandfather crystal tends to collect other stones in its orbit. Here are a few that have sat in its aura to collect energy:















And here's another friend, a 3 pound Arkansas quartz single terminated crystal--

SIngle Terminated vs. Double Terminated Quartz

Here are two super clear Arkansas Quartz all-natural, uncut crystals that I collected many years ago. If you're a beginner to crystals, you can see at a glance what the difference is between single-terminated and double-terminated crystals. The double-terminated crystal at the top of the photo grew a natural point on BOTH ends, instead of just on ONE end.

Crown Chakra Stones: Touching Spirit

The stones of the rainbow chakra take us on a logical path from the material world of the earth and root chakra through the more emotional region of the heart and throat and upward toward the higher spirit. Working with the crown chakra isn't really about connecting with material riches, and many extremely spiritual people are-- let's be real here-- absolutely terrible with money. If a prosperity worker prefers to focus on the lower chakra stones in an effort to attract more wealth, I wouldn't say that she was wrong. However, I personally feel it's important to get out of our own heads from time to time. If you're just thinking money, money, money, I need to get money 24/7, the game of chasing prosperity becomes a grind and a drudgery. Keep it light, keep it a game. Don't let money eat your head, or what's it all for?

So what do we get from meditating with the crown chakra and-- even more so-- from the astral or overhead chakra? Perspective, that's what. We can step out of our own little concerns and experience the big picture. The feeling of mystical unity with the universe may be hard to describe. And it isn't something you're going to be able to turn around and cash in like a lottery ticket. But it's an experience that cleans the psychic dirt out of your pores and lets you remember the beauty of this world.

It's even less practical to wear a stone on the crown chakra than it is on the third eye chakra. When you're meditating on a yoga mat, flat on your back, you can place a crystal above your crown and another about a foot above that. However, for the most part, you won't be wearing the crystal in contact with the physical chakra. And that's fine. This chakra isn't about the physical. It speaks through spirit.

For the crown chakra, I often choose a very pale violet stone like the Amethyst crystal points from Vera Cruz, Mexico. A lot of people do go with a deeper purple like Sujilite, though.

For the overhead chakra, I'm a huge fan of the most mysterious and "spiritual" of the clear Quartz crystals-- double-terminated crystals, elestials, Herkimer diamonds, optical Quartz from Brazil or Arkansas cut into spheres or points or even wands. For some people, the rock crystal skulls do the job, and you can often find reproductions of the original crystal skull floating around for sale. It isn't practical to wear many of these items, but they truly spark the imagination when you keep them around the house as part of your metaphysical mineral collection.

I have now published a complete book containing my thoughts on working with the chakras using crystals to enhance your prosperity. You are free to read this blog online but if you'd like my thoughts all in one convenient place, you can buy the ebook here:

A Surprising Source of Prosperity Stones

Is there a hidden source of prosperity stones just waiting to be picked out of your aquarium gravel? Let's take a look at some photos of my own gravel that I took myself and see what we find.

Don't laugh. Rockhounds will inspect all of their gravel -- even their driveway and garden gravel -- in hopes of finding their newest treasure. Even if you don't have a driveway or a garden, you may have a hidden treasure right there in your goldfish bowl. If you've already read Crystal Cash: Fast Easy Money Magick Using Popular Stones, then you know that's how I got started.

I get the impression that a lot of aquarium gravel is just cleaned-up scrap from lapidary shops or quarries -- the tiny bits of crushed stone that aren't useful for jewelry or other designs. So they end up being polished in a huge tumbler and sold for something like a dollar or two a pound at the Dollar Tree or Big Lots.

As it happens, Quartz is one of the most common minerals found on the earth's crust. In fact, there is only ONE more common mineral, Feldspar. So the odds are high that your gravel has some quartz pebbles in it. Sometimes it's just white milky Quartz. And sometimes it's one of the beautiful color variations, like Amethyst (purple quartz), the classic crystal clear Quartz, Smoky Quartz (brown to black), or Green Quartz.

All of these variations on the theme of Quartz have been used in stone magick for literally thousands of years. Both clear Quartz crystal and Green Quartz are highly honored in gem folklore for their use in drawing money and prosperity, or changing your luck for the better.

Maybe it's time you gave that little bag of gravel from the dollar store a second look. You never know what you might find.

Know Your Prosperity Stones #4: Arkansas Quartz Crystal

Arkansas Quartz Crystal

What if you could only own one crystal for your prosperity work?  It would be tough for me to choose between Lodestone and Quartz, but I could make a very strong argument for Arkansas Quartz Crystal.  It's beautiful, abundant, and affordable.  

All of the Arkansas Quartz crystal clusters on this page were given very minimal (read amateur quality) physical cleaning.  We don't own a soda blaster, folks!  But they still look gorgeous.  

I featured Arkansas Quartz first and foremost in my book Crystal Cash: Fast Easy Money Magick Using Popular Stones.  Many people think only about the spiritual when they consider this stone.  No doubt about it, the stone has been used down through the ages for meditations, scrying, contact with alternate realities, and more.  

But it's also a practical stone that was used in early electronics, particularly during World War II.  It's a stone that doesn't shy away from material as well as spiritual truths.

I firmly believe that every serious student of crystal lore should have Arkansas Quartz crystal somewhere in their tool kit.

Arkansas Quartz comes in many forms. Here's a light smoky--


Here's one with some speckled inclusions, I call this cluster "freckles"--
