Rutilated quartz 'Solar wind'

Rutilated Quartz is an illuminator for the soul, promoting spiritual growth. It cleanses and energises the aura. Draws off negative energy and disease, letting go of the past. Rutilated Quartz gives protection against the ill thoughts of others. It helps to reach the root of problems and facilitates transitions and a change of direction. Soothes dark moods and acts as an antidepressant. Rutilated Quartz relieves fears, phobias and anxiety. Promotes forgiveness at all levels.

Rutilated quartz is just clear quartz with streaks of rutile going through it. Rutile is another mineral ranging from golden to red mostly, sometimes brown and black. This stone has small streaks of gold running through it. It was rather hard to keep the stone in place, so I had to make to two long wires cross over the front of it. I hope it doesn't obscure the stone too much.

Solar winds are streams of charged particles ejected by the sun. It cannot be seen by the naked eye, however it can interact with the Earth’s atmosphere to create light displays such as the Aurora Borealis in the North Pole, or the tail of comets passing by.
