It amplifies thought-forms, prayers & the effects of all other crystals, & can focus & enhance other forms of healing.

The word Faden means thread in German and Faden Quartz is so called because of the visible white 'thread' that runs through it. Most Faden Quartz comes from Pakistan but it is also found in the Alps.

Although it can awaken intuition and psychic ability, it has a gentle, peaceful energy.
