Clusters are formations of single terminated crystals that share a common base. Clusters are many individual crystals who all live together in harmony and peace. They represent the evolved community, each member being individually perfect and unique yet sharing a common ground, a common truth, with all the others. In clusters, all units join together to reap the benefits of living, learning and sharing in an advanced society. The individual crystals reflect light back and forth to one another and all bathe in the combined radiance of the whole. The auric light that surrounds the quartz cluster is very bright and strong.
These crystals can be placed in areas in which you want to create a stronger healing vibration or in places where you want to cleanse the atmosphere. For example, if an argument has taken place in a certain room, quartz clusters could be placed in that area to purify the environment of negative energies and feelings. Clusters can also be placed in between two people, in meditation, to gain greater harmony with one another.
To purify and recharge healing stones, crystals, or jewelry, place them upon large clusters for at least three hours. Pictures of friends or family can be placed upon, or next to, quartz clusters to direct a ray of positive energy towards loved ones throughout the day and night. Clusters can also be used directly over the chakra centers to dissolve any negative or unwanted influences. This enables one to connect with their own source of light and balance themself.
There may be hundreds of single terminated points in a quartz cluster, or there may only be two. Small clusters are ideal to use in crystal healing layouts (see Basic Energy Charge, page 38), while larger ones usually find homes on altars, desks, counter tops, window sills, bedstands, or any place where they can reflect their radiance. Clusters are wonderful gifts to homes where the occupants need to harmonize and cooperate.
Most popular and accessible are Clear Quartz clusters, but equally as beautiful are clusters of other members of the quartz family. Other minerals such as Fluorite or Wulfenite also form equisite cluster formations. If nothing else, clusters are an incredible work of beauty in nature and extremely pleasurable for the senses, as well as the soul, to behold.
