Quartz Type	Description
E (continued)
Extra Termination	An Extra Terminations Crystal, also called ET, has a single termination at one end and multiple ones at the other end.

Extra Terminations are mistakenly called Extra Terrestrial. ETs are transmitters of the Universal Life Force like all quartz crystals. But they are special transmitters. They are “Beam Splitters. Extra Terminations take in Universal Life Force energy from their single termination, amplify it, split it, and broadcast it from the multiple terminations at its opposite end. Think of it like a shower head taking in the pure water, amplifying it and splitting into a myriad of small jets. ETs are healing crystals when large areas of unbalance need correcting. They are excellent crystals for giving strength when multiple needs all demand attention

Extra Terrestrial	An unfortunate misunderstanding of the abbreviation ET that stands for Extra Terminations not Extra Terrestrial. See Extra Terminations just above.

Faden Crystal	A Faden is a crystal that has a milky feathery line that runs through the crystal. The Faden is usually a Tabby Crystal. Also called Faden Growth and Faden Veil crystals.

A Faden Crystal is a extremely powerful communication crystal used for a single purpose – communication with the Spirit World. If the need is extreme, and imperative, and maximum bandwidth is needed in communication to the Spirit World, use a clear quartz Faden as your conduit. These are some of the most useful mediation crystals when you want to communicate with the higher planes of our existence and communicate directly with angelic, light beings. These crystals are only used in such mediations. These are not talismans, amulets, or healing crystals. Fadens are powerful, and focused communication crystals.

Fairy Dust	A Fairy Dust Quartz crystal is described as “The random outside attachment of many very small crystals to the outside of a larger one, seemingly looking like a dusting that sparkles in the sun.” These are also called Barnacle crystals when the attached crystals are larger and mostly distinct to the eye as separate small crystals.

Fairy Dust Crystals are for meditation. As, you know the relationships and things you accumulate in your passage through life are not you. Do not confuse yourself with your relationships and your things. When you are trying to separate your own spirit from its relationship with others, and get in touch with your real spirit, use a Fairy Dust crystal to aid in your efforts of self-knowledge and usefulness. When you use the crystal, think of the barnacles on it as the things and relationships you have added to your life. Note they are not the main crystal, just as you are not the things you have added to your life. Keep a Fairy Dust Crystal near to you. Let it constantly remind you keep a perspective on your relationships. It will help you learn to see yourself separately from your things and relationships. A Fairy Dust crystal is a good crystal to use in the beginning of a meditation session. It will help you find yourself – the first step in finding your future. Melody reports it might help you sort out family problems.

Fairy Clusters are quite difficult to obtain. They have to be carefully hand mined. The fine, delicate crystals seem to be a fairy land in sunlight, each of the many tiny crystals seems to shimmer and reflect the light of “fairy energy.” These are very delightful clusters. They are, as my friend says, “happy crystals.” They are used to simply enhance the overall positive and bright energy level of a room or area.

Some authors note that Garden Quartz enhances the communication with beings on the spiritual plane and heighten one’s spiritual energies. and bring knowledge from your past lives.

Girasol Quartz could well be called “moon quartz.” or “dream quartz.” Its hazy dreamy quality is soft, inviting, and restful. It has been reported to be an excellent companion on spirit journeys and a superb aid in visualization.

Glassbacks are quite useful crystal formations that are often used in mediation when you are confused, lost, or seem to lack direction. Sometimes the cause of this confusion is a lack of true understanding of exactly what is missing from your life. In such a situation a Glassback, used in a mediation, will seem to become almost liquid, and, with a receptive mind, it will begin to flow and reveal hidden shapes that indicate inner desires and deep needs that must be fulfilled if happiness is to be found.
