"Interestingly enough, what I see as soon as I hold this lovely Red Epidote in Smoky Quartz is a scene from A Knight's Tale. The words I hear come from Heath Ledgers voice. Sometimes crystals crack me up!.

I am the knight in shining armor, the protector of the grail. I will protect you as a knight would keep safe his queen/king with honor and integrity..

The "swords" of red epidote will help to cut cords and release them completely with ease while the smoky armor soothes the affected area, filling the void with healing energies..

When there is chaos and drama all around you, the Epidote and Smoky combo will give you the strength and courage to stand tall and remove yourself from it. If there is fear or anxiety, this combination will ease it, allowing you to stay in control of the situation without giving over to the fear..

Grounding and balance is a given, but this is more than just a grounding and balancing crystal. For mediums, psychics, reiki practitioners, and all of those who work in the higher vibrations, this crystal will keep your body grounded to the physical, while at the same time never impeding where you need to go spiritually. I believe this crystal will also help to find a pin point focus with those who read the Tarot, dowse, practice scrying and connect to the higher self using other tools and mediums..

A perfect crystal for the first chakra area, helping to repair damage in the energy field and correcting the spin and rate of the chakra itself. This would be a wonderful piece for those who have had a hysterectomy or other surgeries that remove organs from the lower area of the torso. It fills the space with healing energy, quickening the healing process, allowing one to grieve the loss but move forward with a positive outlook on the future..

Work with this energy when focus and concentration is needed. It removes all distractions that may be swirling around you. For those with ADHD or OCD, this is a must have! It completely centers in a very short time span. You will feel level headed and in control quite quickly..

This crystal combination is simply a delight. Very supportive, very encouraging. The last message it shares is that you already have the strength within, even if you feel you do not. This Red Epidote/Smoky combo will bring out the fierce in you!".

From MetaphysicalRealm1.com - Smokey Quartz is most effective on the Solar Plexus Chakra as well as the Minor Chakras of the Hands and Feet. (Every healer knows the Chakras of the Hand and Feet are not Minor Chakras!) It dispels negative emotions (anger, resentment, and negative thought patterns), emotional blockages, and negative energy. This crystal also provides excellent protection and grounding. It's a very good crystal to use for meditation. This crystal's energy is gentle, and it takes time to do its work.

Epidote increases our powers of perception. It helps us participate openly in our own lives and to draw in the participation of those around us. Epidote provides "more" to any aspect of your life that you apply it to (i.e., abundance, love, intuition).

Hardness (Epidote): 6.0 - 6.5
Hardness (Smokey Quartz): 7.0
Vibration (Smokey Quartz with Red Epidote): 1
Astrological Sign: Unknown

WEARING CRYSTALS vs. WORKING WITH THEM IN OTHER WAYS

Crystals are a very large part of my life, and I am lucky enough to be surrounded by crystals! When a crystal is touching you all of the time, you are getting the energy of the crystal constantly. I wear several pendants, so I literally wear my medicine bag around my neck. I think this is the very best use of a crystal! Healing crystals do not do you a lot of good if they are sitting on a shelf. You should be touching them as much as possible! Working with them by holding them in your hand or placing them on your body is good, too, as is holding a crystal during meditation.

When my life is about to change, I usually know it is coming, because I feel a very strong need to change my pendants. When I no longer need to wear a pendant or other piece of jewelry, they sometimes literally fall off my body. Over the years, I have worn many different combinations of crystals, and I have enjoyed them all. I seem to wear at least six pendants, but it has been as many as twelve at times. Jewelry is an excellent way to work with your crystals!

Prices are subject to change without notice. I do my best to accurately describe all of the crystals I list for sale and to describe any "flaws", but I am imperfect in all things!
