Gwindel Quartz
 
They are beautiful, unusual and very useful in healing practice and use. 
 
The Gwindel energy is particularly unusual and if one is able to find one of these rare specimens, it is a worthy addition to your collection and to your healing environment. Gwindel provides all the common benefits of a quartz specimen.
 
 As a "master healer" it will amplify energy and thought, and add to the positive effects of other crystals. It absorbs, stores, releases and regulates energy and draws off negative energy of all kinds, neutralizing background radiation, including electromagnetic smog or petrochemical emanations. It balances and revitalizes the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual planes. 
In addition to these common quartz qualities, Gwindel provides opportunities for exploration and growth. It enhances courage and allows one to explore paths that may previously have seemed frightening or intimidating. It provides a foundation for creativity and growth in surprising directions and opens one to all possibilities by connecting the conscious mind to the roadmap provided by the soul and higher consciousness. 
 
It is useful for brainstorming and for those who are, by their nature, innovative and creative. But it is profoundly helpful to those who doubt their own ability to move beyond perceived boundaries. It encourages connection and relationships to support goals and build a network of people and tools that will help one to get past obstacles. Perhaps its most beneficial characteristic is its ability to support and encourage new ventures, relationships and opportunities even in the face of self-doubt and challenging circumstances. 
 
By its very nature, Gwindel attracts the right team members, friends and collaborators and brings them to your side to help you achieve your purpose and give you the strength and the patience you need for the journey. 
The Gwindel grows in alpine type fissures and its growth location and slow growth process provide the breadth and distance of vision and the commitment to long-term purpose. 
Gwindels are quite rare and can be found only at a few locations, mostly in igneous rocks, gneisses and sometimes in shists.
