Crystal People: Making the Connection

Enter into an in-depth discussion about the world of the Crystal People. In this blog spot we will explore the truth that crystals are sentient beings and learn how to connect with them. We’ll cover all areas of quartz crystal such as how they form, methods of cleansing, clearing and programming, how and why to make crystal grids and other tools, how and where to dig your own crystals and much more.

FEMININE, MASCULINE & YIN/YANG CRYSTALS - An Anatomy Lesson

Today we're going to be discussing whether a crystal is feminine, masculine or both (yin/yang). I want to be clear from the beginning, though, we're only discussing whether a crystal is any of these terms by features, not energy. I am calling this an "anatomy lesson" because basically we'll be discussing whether a crystal presents physically as masculine (has "man parts"), presents physically as feminine (has "lady parts") or  presents physically as a mix of both.

Just as with humans, simply because a crystal presents as feminine or masculine in appearance anatomically, it absolutely DOES NOT mean that it will also be energetically feminine or masculine. This is an important point. Just as with humans, many crystals feminine in appearance have masculine energy and many crystals masculine in appearance have feminine energy.

We'll start with the physical description of Feminine crystals:

Feminine crystals are described as "dense" and "milky". The concentration of density in a Feminine crystal varies from nearly opaque Fairy Frost to solid white, milky quartz. Since clear crystals are often described as water clear, cloudy or densely white quartz crystal is often called milky (because it looks more like milk than water).

Here is a picture with some examples of Feminine crystals. Notice how densely white (milky) they are:

feminine crystals

Moving on from feminine to masculine, very clear points are called Masculine. They may be optically clear, or they may have some Fairy Frost. The base of a Masculine crystal may be dense with frost, however if more of the point is clear than cloudy, it is described as Masculine.

Here is a picture with some examples of Masculine crystals. Notice how clear they are:

masculine crystals

Most crystals are part Feminine and part Masculine, a little bit more of one than the other, but not fully either. These would be described as "mostly Feminine" or "mostly Masculine". Here's an example of that:

feminine and masculine

Some crystals are an equal mix of both Feminine and Masculine, these crystals are called Yin/Yang. Lots of crystals are dense at the base but are more Masculine than Feminine, so these aren't normally called Yin/Yang. There are also crystals which would be described as a mix of masculine and feminine top to bottom (meaning an even distribution of clarity and milkiness throughout. This type isn't normally called yin/yang either. I typically call a crystal Yin/Yang if it is as close to 50/50 as possible (top half masculine/bottom half feminine), or sometimes 40/60 either way as long as there is a really strong area of demarcation where the masculine and feminine meet.

Here is a picture with some examples of Yin/Yang crystals. Notice how clear they are at the top and how milky they are at the bottom and that there is an obvious area where the two meet:

YIN-YANG crystals

Basically that's it for the anatomy lesson.

Feminine = cloudy or milky

Masculine = clear

Yin/Yang = half cloudy and half clear.

Now, let's talk briefly about these terms energetically. Whether or not a crystal presents as feminine, masculine or yin/yang physically, energetically speaking, here is what you might expect from them:

Feminine crystals help us (both men and women) to get in touch with our feminine nature. They have a soft, yet deep, mysterious energy. Yin in nature, Feminine crystals are intuitive, nurturing and receptive. The energy is more diffuse. If the energy were compared to a light, it would be described as glowing (coming from all directions evenly).

Masculine crystals are helpful when you need to get to the point; they have a sharp and direct energy. Yang in nature, Masculine crystals are more action-oriented and the energy projects rather than recedes. The energy of Masculine crystals is more focused and linear. If its energy were described as a light, it would tend to be a high power flashlight or even a laser pointer (directed out the end in a focused beam).

Knowing that Yin/Yang crystals have an equal measure of masculine to feminine energy, they are good for attaining and maintaining balance. Today we learned that:

    • Feminine crystals are called "cloudy" or "milky".
    • Masculine crystals are "clear".
    • Yin/Yang crystals are half feminine and half masculine with an obvious area where the two meet.
    • Just because a crystal presents as feminine or masculine doesn't guarantee that its energy will match its anatomy.
    • Energetically feminine crystals help to connect us with our feminine nature and are have soft mysterious energy and are intuitive, nurturing and receptive.
    • Energetically masculine crystals help you get to the point. Their energy is sharp and direct and they are more action-oriented with projecting energy.
    • Yin/Yang crystals help us to maintain a balance of masculine to feminine traits.

I hope you have enjoyed this discussion about the anatomy of Feminine, Masculine and Yin/Yang quartz crystals. Next week we'll discuss Generator or Merlin quartz crystals.
