Gem of the Month
Stones for Health and Transformation
January 2007
The purpose of The Gem of the Month is to share information on crystals and minerals. You may benefit from our research, and we benefit from your feedback. Each of us has something to teach and much to learn. Feel free to share your experiences so that we may all grow in wisdom.
Candle Quartz
Candle Quartz is a unique form of quartz that displays the best of both
worlds in the quartz family. At the heart of the crystal is a strong main
shaft, a single point where energy can be sharply focused. Around this point
hundreds of tiny points have grown, like a quartz cluster that transmits and
receives energy from all directions at once. Both the quartz point and the
cluster are found in one crystal. I think this is remarkable. Many say that
this is an elestial quartz point that displays the ability to cleanse and
heal. I will address elestials in a future Gem. Some references call this
pineapple quartz. Candle Quartz looks like a candle that has wax drippings
covering all sides. Each is different, each a lovely work of natural art.
Candle Quartz is a stone of insight that can lead us to a greater understanding of ourselves. It helps us look inside to discover who we are, what our mission is and which path to take to fulfill this mission. Candle Quartz helps clarify issues by transforming uncertainty into hope. It increases our tranquility by enhancing our confidence and sensitivity.
Some Candle Quartz points favor the properties of the single point. Some favor the cluster properties. Many practitioners use one or the other to achieve their desired results. I have found that using a balanced pair of the points draws out both features and the result is a synergy of the two used for balancing just about anything you want to balance. This is the Yin Yang balancing effect. All disease is caused by an imbalance of something in our bodies or thought processes. Candle Quartz will assist in balancing both physical and mental issues. The “single point” type is held in the left hand, and the “cluster” type is held in the right hand. During meditation with a pair of Candle Quarts crystals, you may feel a swirling effect, bringing you deep within yourself. This is where your inner self can communicate with you.
This unique crystal was first found in Madagascar. It has also been found in Russia. I have samples from both mines. They seem to have the same effect, but have a slightly different feel. It can be used as the center stone for many native ceremonies such as the medicine wheel. It has the ability to draw out the richness of all the other stones that are included in the ceremony.
The descriptions of all featured items posted in the Gem of the Month are our gift to you. We encourage personal exploration. Each person will have a slightly different experience with the stones.
We encourage your feedback, comments and insights regarding the Candle Quartz. Please visit us on the Gemstones board in the Forums to share your thoughts. There is much more to the Candle Quartz than has been explored here. We are interested in hearing about your experiences with this crystal.

Are you interested in purchasing a Candle Quartz?
I have several sets of Candle Quartz pairs on hand. I prefer to sell them as balanced pairs because that is what I have found to be the most effective. I also have some single points that haven’t been selected for a working pair. The pairs cost $40 to $60 per pair. The single points cost $25 to $40.
