Home > Crystals > Twin Golden Amphibole Included Quartz Crystal
Amphibole crystals have beautiful inclusions that give the crystal an almost wooly effect. The colors are a creamy white and the fibers are like fluffed cotton wool within the crystal. They are also known as angel quartz crystals due to the inclusions wispy effect resembling wings. They help to pull out what does not belong from the system. They are said to also shield one from the abrasiveness of others. This is especially healing from those who are or have been emotionally or verbally abused. These beautiful pieces are from Madagascar.
A crystal with two points on a common base is called a twin crystal. You can tell a twin crystal from two crystals that are simply attached to each other, by the fact that both parts of a twin crystal are exactly parallel to each other, and have no boundary between them. It is believed the Twin crystal can generate positive energy toward improving a relationship. They can help you gain insight into the underlying problems in a relationship, and help work through them. This works for any kind of relationship, not only a romantic relationship. A twin with a rainbow can be very effectively used to project healing energy into a relationship or to keep a good relationship strong.
We are told that the reason for the rarity of these crystals is that they are gathered only in the dry season, when the farmers of the area cannot work their crops. Some tend to exhibit wispy inclusions in hues of red/orange and yellow. Amphiboles are defined as hydrated double silicate minerals including Hornblende and several types of asbestos, containing various combinations of sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, hematite, limonite, kaolin and aluminum. These amphiboles were formed with incredible heat (1200-1700 degrees Fahrenheit) and pressure, and sometimes exhibit chatoyancy as well. Interestingly, the crystal surrounding the amphibole inclusions was produced at a much lower temperature of between 550-570 degrees Fahrenheit, long after the amphiboles formed.
Angel quartz crystals or amphibole quartz crystals are those which have layers of hydrated, double silicate minerals such as Hornblende and Asbestos, whose white "feathery wisps" formed the "phantom peaks" within the crystal, resembling Angel wings. They are a wonderful compliment to those who are beginning to work with the entities and energies of the Angelic Realms, and in fact seem to attract them, along with others of the same mind who are working with the ethereal realms. In addition, the Hornblende helps to shield one from the abrasiveness of others making this a wonderful stone for protection, especially for those who are being emotionally or verbally abused.
