Crystal Research Group
by Mario |
We set up the crystal research group in April 2006. The purpose of this group is to conduct blind tests with regard to the properties of crystals.
We have researched many books and foun some to contain the exact information that others contain, sometimes word for word. We have also noticed that some books have completely different information.Each and every person will have a different opinion with regard to the properties of various minerals and crystals. Some of these properties may be common to all and some maybe particular. In this research group, we send out a crystal on a bi-monthly basis. Each crystal is wrapped and sealed in a pouch. None of the participants know what stone they have been given. Each participant works with the mystery crystal for a month in whatever way feels appropriate. At the end of each month the research is collated and then each participant can open the pouch and see what crystal they have been working with. The following research has been submitted by the research team. The month of research took place in April 2006 and the research crystal was Cacoxonite. The mystery crystal feels to me to affect my heart and solar plexus chakra's. Often feeling tingly in my stomach. It feels emotionally very nourishing and warming as if it has manganese in it. It has also recently helped me with an ailment i have been suffering from, relaxing and calming it. If i had to guess what this crystal was i would have to say Charoite. Although it feels different from my charoite ball. I think the power of it being a mystery helps the concentration on the acctual effects and not a representation of the visual effects. Will Austin
Here is a direct copy of what I scribbled in my little notebook about the mystery stone.
I did 3 meditations :
12.4.06 : This is very much a 3rd eye stone. Felt it immediately right behind and between my physical eyes. The crystal throbbed in my hand. I decided to put it actually ON my third eye, my third eye popped up and out like a pyramid shape, like my blue lady's pink and purple sided pyramid on her third eye. I wasn't aware of any other part of my being other than this pyramid.
25.4.06 : This time I put it straight onto my third eye. This time it opened my ears up (I felt a breeze whistling through) and my crown chakra tickled like mad. I got a very loud high-pitched ringing in my left ear which only eased off after a while. Ouch. This loud ringing had occurred previously, when I'd had the stone on my bedside table, which is why I moved the bl00dy thing out of the room during the night-time. I was unable to sleep or really relax with this crystal.
1.5.06 : I put it straight onto my third eye again. My hands pulsated like mad. I felt a mad rush all down my right hand side, right ear/eye/shoulder. A vein on the right hand side of my neck started to twitch like mad, and I felt something rise up in my throat too. Crown chakra tickled also.
Other observations :
Whilst carrying the stone around during the day, it was quite nice. Felt like it gave me a kind of a shield, which subsequently gave me a bit of a lift. I thought it had some amethyst in it, but something else black or smokey (I get the ringing in my ears with black stones). It also made me feel a bit floaty, like I was almost swimming, afloat in saltwater (led me to think it might be aquamarine). A bit dreamy (when my mind wasn't totally focused on it). I also suffer from bad migraines from time to time, but haven't had any at all recently, which is great.
It was very fast-acting, straight to my third eye each time, almost like a sword in its precision. Quite a pleasant stone (apart from the loud ringing). Perhaps it was working to open something up in me, which would be about right. I've been so busy and tired with my job since Christmas, I haven't been relaxing as often as I should. Whatever it was, I reckon this stone was a great introduction to taking time out and really FEELING what I get from certain crystals.
I would have guessed it was some kind of quartz, with its speed and intensity. Not a gentle and soft calcite or beryl, but not the hard dull thud of obsidian/tourmaline either. I didn't think it was citrine, as I didn't feel it in my middle chakras. I would also have guessed it may be rutilated, because of the sharp sword like 'straight to the point' aspect. And I would have thought it was something like amethyst or clear quartz or smokey quartz due to the third eye/ear connection. I adore smokey quartz. But amethyst would have been my first guess. A bit kinder than clear quartz !
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to partake in this crystal experiment. I'm really looking forward to the next one !
Lots of love

So here we are, the last day! I can't wait to find out what this crystal is, it's driving me nuts!!!
I've not been able to get a clear idea on a colour for this one at all. It doesn't feel like anything I've worked with before. So, what have I noticed......
It enters around the upper heart, travels through the throat and then settles in the third eye, which it opens very forcibly. There seemed to be an immediate clearing of the sinuses and a need to breathe deeply, and an awareness of the heartbeat.There was also a build up of pressure/energy? in the ears. After a short time there came a feeling of nausea and a headache because the third eye was being held open so forcibly. A quick retreat followed and I decided that this one was better worked with from a distance and not held as it made me too uncomfortable.
On several occasions I noticed a warmth in the whole of the left hand side of my body, and a coolness in the right. There was also a lot of energy circulating around the back of the neck.
It made me feel neither happy nor sad, in fact it seemed to create a neutral state from which old, sometimes painful memories could be assessed without emotion. It did seem to be difficult to linger too long on any one thought so concentration was difficult when this stone was around.
I have to admit to a certain disinclination to work with this stone and preferred to have it well out of the way because the slightest contact with it, even visual, opened the third eye painfully, and headache invariably followed.
Nothing else to report I'm afraid.
What is it. What is it. WHAT IS IT!!!!
Mystified.

My impressions from being in the company of the mystery crystal in the
lovely month of May : First impressions, ummm, seems soft & radiating in it's energy almost as
if the little baby's been energised somehow. Big pink feeling with this
one, would be most surprised if it's not actually pinky coloured when out
of it's little sleeping bag! Everyday I've had this crystal in my pocket, everywhere I've been through
what's been a pretty difficult time personally. It has emitted a subtle
sense of calming, and a gentle but silent reassurance. I can only express
it as though this particular crystal was attempting to impart some lessons
to a certain part of me, on what felt like the Heart level! This sensation was consistant throughout the month & it's become almost
companion like, and I believe has softened the effects of whatever
personal Shit I've been dealing with. Also, in terms of realisations that
have come about through carrying said crystal, these once again have
softly filtered through as heart warming energies.... Maybe I am completely wrong & it's not what I've perceived/felt. Could
even be placebo effect..... Well I'll find out in about 5 minutes time when I check out who's in there! Not so much from this one in/during meditation, maybe on another
unconscious level there but definitely one I've physically found myself holding on to & fiddling with more than I probably realised!
Hope that makes sense, peace be with you brother Mario! xx

I've been carrying it around with me for a while and trying to notice anything different. Normally I wear Kunzite and find it makes me feel quite peaceful. This one I think is having a different effect. Everybody on the forum seems to think it's something pink, but because of this I don't. It's been making me feel more confident in myself and my opinions, and I think it's encouraged me to make my voice heard, especially at work. Tim says he thinks it's been helping him concentrate and focus on things, and I kind of agree with him on this. It's also been helping me with my energy levels which are generally pretty low. Because of this I think it's something yellowy/orangey? I am also convinced that I'm entirely wrong about this. *blushes*. Either way, I've loved having it with me. Thank you for the experience.
Going to go and open it now to find out how wrong I am - I'm all excited :)
Love

So it's time to write my experiences with the mystery crystal.
The first time I held it I felt an energy radiate and expand in my hand. When I closed my hand over it, it felt like it tried to open my hand. Then I noticed the energy move up through my solar, heart, throat, 3rd eye and crown chakras. Warmth radiated out from these centres, cleansing them.
Now whenever I hold it, it goes straight to my 3rd eye chakra! I don't notice it anywhere else anymore! I find it difficult to focus on the crystal itself, as it keeps bringing my attention to my 3rd eye. I'm more aware of inner images, such as imagination and dreams, so I think it plays a big part in vision (more inner visions than outer, physical vision). The crystal draws me inside, so my awareness of the outside world isn't as strong as usual. I sense inner peace, serenity and contenment.
Few days ago I did a short meditate and as usual I nearly feel asleep. But when I picked up the crystal my focus was brought to my 3rd eye. I was still very relaxed but i flet more awake. I do think this kind of stillness is good for meditation, so this crystal could aid in that.
Since I first put it under my pillow, I've kept it there every night! I fall asleep easiely with this crystal and wake up revitalised. My dreams are more vivid. The images are clearer, easier to see.
The last few days I've noticed I've been very self-observational and reflective about my inner qualities as a person. I've been more self-appreciative. I'm also more aware of past realistions and how I can bring these into my life in a useful manner.
I don't know how much we are supposed to write... but I can't think of much else at the moment those things are the most obvious things I've noticed. And I'm not 100% sure if they are all the crystals work, as it's confusing with so many different subtle energies working around.
However, I've really enjoyed discovering some of it's qualities. I feel like I'm going to learn more after I discover what it is...
thank you!

Many thanks to all who have taken part in this trial. The next crystal will be sent out in the next two weeks. Alison and Silverstar will receive theirs a little earlier as they are going on holiday.
