Quartz, Iris
Iris Quartz, aka Rainbow Quartz, is Clear Quartz that contains fractures within that cause a rainbow effect when turned in the light. Iris Quartz has had trade names associated with it, such as “Aurora Quartz” and “Anandalite”. It is a stone of optimism and reconciliation. Iris Quartz allows us to overcome the disappointments in our lives and to move forward. It gives us courage to get out there and try again.
Physically, Iris Quartz helps with metabolism balance, SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), cleansing of the kidneys and urinary tract, and easing of menstrual symptoms.
Clear Quartz is often called the "Stone of Power" and can help to amplify any energy or intention. Working with all of the Chakras, Clear Quartz is also known as the "Master Healer", with its very high vibration, and is the most versatile healing stone among the crystals. Clear Quartz is said to protect against negativity, attune to your higher self, and relieve pain. Quartz crystals are very programmable and have a tendency to hold a program much longer than other minerals.
These are truly lovely stones to use in meditation and they will connect you quite easily to the higher realms.
Most people who use them find that they quickly take you into a very deep inner awareness. Once there you will not want to come back until you have fully experienced all that will be offered to you.
Holding a piece of Aurora Quartz at the heart or placed on the body near the heart ignites a strong surge of energy.
This energy quickly moves up from your heart, up through the throat and third eye chakras to the crown chakra.
This is a lovely, quite pleasurable surge of energy, that moves up from the heart into the higher heart or thymus chakra, bringing this loving energy as it goes higher.
You are transported so quickly and so easily to a place of blissful spiritual awakening, where you make a connection with your higher self and open yourself up to the Divine and the awakening of your inner being.
It commonly opens up the crown chakra and takes you up through soul star chakra and the stellar gateway, to journey within the higher transpersonal chakras.
