While Girasol Quartz is known for its opaque appearance, its energy is anything but cloudy! This very ancient mineral is found in Madagascar. The name Girasol comes from the Italian word meaning “turn toward the sun.” The inclusions of minerals that seem to float in the stone create thousands of reflecting points when hit by light, hence “turn toward the sun.” This quartz, like all other quartz, is made up of silicon dioxide with a trigonal crystal system. However, the abundance of tiny inclusions in Girasol Quartz strip it of the clarity most quartz possesses, and give it a different, milky appearance. The haunting white mist within the translucent stone is ideal for ornamental purposes and to wear as jewelry. It is used in meditation to provide a gentle energy that will guide one with ease toward the revelations they are seeking.
Holding a Girasol Quartz Touchstone to the touchstone will imbue your spirit with a sense of happiness. This will relieve mental blocks related to creativity and promote imagination. Using the touchstone in meditation facilitates visualization, lucid dreaming and channeling. The soft energy of Girasol Quartz helps one to get in touch with their true emotions, and graces them with the confidence to express their newfound honesty.
