FADEN QUARTZ is a silicon dioxide mineral with a hexagonal crystal system and a hardness of 7. It is distinguished from other Quartz crystals by the presence of a fuzzy white line running through the middle. Faden Quartz comes from Pakistan, Brazil and Arkansas, USA. Faden Quartz is one of the premier healing stones of the Quartz family. Perhaps because the stones themselves were “injured” (broken and re-healed) during their growth process, they carry the pattern of healing very strongly within their natural programming. Thus, when one moves into resonance with one of these crystals, one’s own capacity for healing is activated and/or reinforced. Faden Quartz crystals are highly programmable, making it possible to increase their potency as healing stones. Faden Quartz is ideal for consciousness expansion and accessing any of the higher vibrational planes. It is also well suited for those who wish to attune to the inner movements of the Earth. The Faden’s experience of past earth changes makes them ideal tools for those who seek information on current and future physical and vibrational shifts. Faden Quartz can be charged to an even stronger activation by combining it with power stones such as Moldavite, Phenacite, Tanzanite, Danburite and Azeztulite, for healing purposes, Seraphinite and Sugilite are powerful amplifiers of the natural healing influence of Faden Quartz.
