For your first simple crystal arrangement. A 100 g pack of small, clear-to-cloudy quartz chips.
Begin with a small circle.
In contemporary crystal-grid practice, clear quartz chips are arranged around a chosen intention. These small polished pieces have irregular rounded edges, transparent and cloudy areas, and no drill holes.
The story
In 1880, Pierre and Jacques Curie showed that pressure could produce an electrical charge in certain crystals, including quartz. Their experiments became part of the history of piezoelectricity.
Give one intention a shape.
Choose a few chips and arrange a small circle in your own dry tray. Say the intention you want to remember, then gather the chips back into their storage after your quiet moment. Keep jewelry on a separate soft surface rather than pressing it into the chips.
Details
Each stone varies a little in color and pattern.
