Faden is a German word meaning thread, and these crystals are characterized by the white, threadlike lines running through them. Many are also tabular (flat) and consist of joined crystals with the line running through them. The lines indicate what is commonly called a self-healed crystal. Such crystals are formed in the midst of shifts in the earth surrounding them which cause them to break, then to re-heal.

Faden Quartz Crystals are Master Self-Healing crystals!  Faden Quartz is self-healed quartz. This crystal is fractured but healed itself, forming a visible line or thread. This encourages those fragmented soul parts, traumas, or other situations to reintegrate and heal. It is excellent for helping those working through the process of self-healing at any level, whether it be physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual.

When feeling unwell sometimes due to the energy of the aura being imperfect, Faden Quartz is thought to heal and fill holes in the aura encouraging good health. It’s a good all round healing crystal.

Faden Quartz is said to be excellent for transmitting energy and thought to contain a wealth of information relating to our Planet Earth.

Faden Quartz are easily programmed and should be thoroughly cleansed of all previous programs when first received.

Tabular Crystals are believed to be activators for other crystals.  These great healers can work the same way for relationships, if it is for the greater good. If a split is meant to be however, meditating with this crystal will help mend the mind and heart, enabling understanding and healthy resignation. The thread that runs through the Faden Quartz is symbolic of the cord that connects the holder to another person. In this way, this crystal can facilitate better communication between people and enhance the relationship.

This crystal is also a great aid for those who are seeking Truth. It can also be used to enhance telepathic activities. Faden Quartz can assist to achieve a deepened meditative state, which can also bring great insights into the unknown. Meditating with these higher vibration stones can facilitate attunement with the Earth's energies and communication with higher realms.

Many Tabular Quartz crystals, Faden included, have a type of notch located along the edge of the crystal. It is said that rubbing this notch with the fingernail can provide information and insight to the holder.

CRYSTALS + YOU

Here are some of our favourite ways to incorporate crystals into your everyday life

✨ MEDITATION | Surely, we all know by now that a meditation habit is maybe the healthiest habit any of us can hope to develop (it beats smoking or gambling anyway, trust us).  But transitioning into a meditative or mindful state isn’t always easy, and often, even with the best of intentions, people give up on their practice.  They find it difficult to sit still and focus.

Never fear – this is where crystals come in handy.  Crystals can cleanse the mind of chaotic thoughts and doubts, they calm and ground us and elevate our energy, so that you can fully immerse yourself in your meditation.

✨ SLEEPING WITH THEM | When you have difficulty sleeping, any number of things could be responsible for disturbing your rest.  Whether you have too much on your plate and can’t switch off, or you can’t seem to settle your energy and are constantly worrying you’ve left your hair straightener on, crystals can bring you the peace you need to sleep easy.

If you are just lying there, sleeping sweetly for 8-ish hours every night, you might as well be absorbing some good vibes from your crystals, right?

To use your crystal at bedtime, try setting it next to you on your bedside table, placing it under your pillow or (best of all) holding it in your palm as you drift off.

✨ MASSAGE | Crystallising your massages can elevate your body work session to previously unknown levels of bliss.  Using crystals along with soft tissue manipulation can reduce not only muscle pain, but also any pain or blocked energy stored in your mind or energy body, helping to bring your body and energy field back into balance to create stability.

✨ SKIN CARE ROUTINE | When used as part of your daily skincare ritual, a crystal facial roller and/or crystal infused facial serum can work to stimulate collagen synthesis, minimise fine lines and wrinkles, support lymphatic drainage, reduce pore size, boost elasticity, soothe irritation, minimise puffiness and promote deeper product preparation…  Yikes – trying saying all of that without taking a breath.

Physically, it helps firm the outer layers of the skin through gentle massage. It also aids in detoxing through the lymphatic system, the body’s main major detoxification structure.

✨ WEAR THEM | Having your crystals close to you is the most effective way to utilise their power. Whether it be crystal jewellery or a little tumble in your pocket (or bra!) Having them close to your skin and vibrating with your aura is the most ideal situation to reach your goal or intention for them faster.

+ so much more, including but not limited to - elixirs, adding them to your altar, creating crystal grids, spells, the posibilities are endless.

CRYSTALS + THE HOME

You’d have to be living under a rock (pun intended!) to be oblivious to how popular gemstones, rocks, crystals and geodes have become in interiors.  Seriously, if Instagram is anything to go by, we are definitely not the only ones using crystals to boost the ambiance and good vibes of our living space. 

And while there are obviously plenty of creative ways (hello Pinterest!) to take advantage of the healing powers of crystals, if you’re looking to take full advantage of their witchy vibrations and magickal energy, there are ways to place them around your home intentionally, so that their energy can support you in various specific environments.

And don’t forget that the energy of your home can shift over time.  If you’ve ever been in a space that was totally spick and span, and flooded with life giving natural light, but somehow just felt heavy, or uncomfortable, then you can understand how a home’s energy is dictated by more than just cleanliness.

The vibe of a space has a lot to do with the energy that has been expelled there, and not cleared away.  Breakups, stress, deaths or grief, parties that got out of hand, or even arguments about whose turn it is to take the bins out can leave behind energy in your home and if you’re not smudging or getting rid of that negativity with high vibe crystals for your home, your space can start to feel dirty, no matter how hard your scrub.

REMEMBER, you don't HAVE to believe they're magic - you can just collect them because you think thy're pretty - there are no rules and we are not the gate keepers of crystals 💗
