As we move towards the darkest time of the year, I thought I’d share a bit of lightness and sparkle. I hope you enjoy these lovely, high frequency crystals
Selenite - clearing, purifying, awakening
Selenite is a clear or pearly form of gypsum that is named for the moon goddess, Selene.
It is very soft and can be scratched by a fingernail, so you need to take care of it and treat it gently. It is water soluble, so water cleansing methods are not suitable, but you need not worry that it will dissolve immediately. You can use smudge, but I think it really likes cleansing with pure sound, such as a singing bowl or tuning fork.
More common than the pure crystal form of Selenite is Satin Spar – a white fibrous mineral that is plentiful, inexpensive and therefore very accessible. Because of the soft nature of this stone, it is easily carved and polished into many shapes.
Selenite is truly a stone for now, as it helps us to connect with the highest frequency of pure light energy.
In my experience, Selenite seldom needs cleansing. If it gets dusty, clean with a soft paintbrush and cleanse with smudge, sound, prayer.

Apophylite - clearing, uplifting, joyous
Apophylite forms clear crystals that people often mistake for Quartz. Looking closely, however, you can see that Apophylite crystals form four sided pyramids - unlike six sided Quartz crystals - and they have a different, mirror-like sheen.
Apophylite has a very high frequency energy - helping us to connect with Spirit and Angels. It is powerfully clearing and cleansing - even a tiny crystal pyramid affects a large area. I find it very uplifting, happy, joyous. It helps us to rise up above the heaviness of life and reconnect with the beauty and magic.
At this time, when so much greed, selfishness and ugliness is being revealed, Apophylite can give us a break. I’m not proposing denial or spiritual bypassing - but it’s good to take time to step out of the chaos and into joy.
Bring a cluster or Apophylite into any space to cut through dark energy and bring light. Place a pyramid on your higher heart to bring joy.
You can wash Apophylite, but do it carefully.

Celestite - expansive, higher perspective, freedom
Celestite is named for its beautiful, heavenly or celestial blue colour. It is associated with heaven energy and angels.
I find that Celestite is extremely clearing, particularly on the mental level, and is very expansive, enabling us to see beyond fixed ideas, beyond the ordinary and the obvious. It calms mental chatter, soothes frazzled nerves and is a wonderful ally when we feel overwhelmed by demands or the craziness of our world. From a more peaceful place we can think, and express ourselves, more clearly.
Celestite truly connects us with divinity, and reminds us that we are divine too – not separate, or needing to find ways to connect or understand. We just are . . . Divine. Divinity expresses itself through each and every one of us.
Work with Celestite to help you to step back, when the world seems mad, and see things from a higher perspective.
You need to be careful with Celestite. It is very brittle and breaks quite easily. Clean with a soft paintbrush and cleanse with smudge, sound or prayer. Avoid direct light as the beautiful colour fades easily.

Angelite - grounded spirit connection
Angelite is a beautiful pale blue mineral that brings calm and peaceful acceptance. As the name suggests, it can help communication with the angelic realms and other spirit guides, but it does so in a very matter-of-fact way. It’s the most grounding of the ‘angelic stones’ so can be good for those who have a tendency to float away.
Angelite is a soft stone and needs to be treated with care. Please cleanse using a non-water method.
Sparkly Agate - grounding light, happy
Agate is a kind of Quartz that has a stable energy that works steadily and slowly bringing gentle grounding, support and balance. Agate comes in many colours, including beautiful Blue Lace Agate and Orange Agate or Carnelian.
These pieces are subtle with shades of cream, grey and brown. They have been cleverly cut and polished to display the areas that have visible crystals. I bought these pieces a while ago but decided to save them for this time of year. They bring beauty, happiness and joy.
Agate is happy to have a wash. Like all Quartz, it likes water and enjoys a bath or shower.

Spirit Quartz - uplifting, transformative, optimistic, magical
Spirit Quartz was originally known as Cactus Quartz or Porcupine Quartz, terms which describe the appearance of these beautiful crystals, where many tiny, druzy crystals cover the body of the main, or mother crystal. Other names also used for these crystals are Angel Quartz and Fairy Quartz. Spirit Quartz is usually pale amethyst, but dark amethyst, clear quartz, citrine and smokey quartz is also, though infrequently, found.
All Spirit Quartz comes from the Magaliesberg area of South Africa, an area which has been extensively mined for gold and platinum.
Many ‘new age’ sources claim that Spirit Quartz is newly discovered in this century, but there are references to these crystals from the 1980’s.
My personal experience of Spirit Quartz is that it has a very light, high-frequency energy, sparkly, fairy-like, magical quality and is helpful in meditation, shamanic journeying and dreaming.
It is very uplifting and transforms negative energies into positive. Although it has a particular affinity with the crown chakra, it can help to clear, balance and harmonise all chakras.
It can help one to remain positive, optimistic and hopeful, and aid in seeing possibilities and potentials in difficult circumstances.
There are references to using Spirit Quartz for skin problems and allergies, but I do not have personal experience of this.
Where Spirit Quartz is Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Citrine or Smoky Quartz, the specific energies of Spirit Quartz will be combined with the frequencies of Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Citrine or Smoky Quartz.
