  Canadian Super Seven Amethyst Crystal

   

  What a wordy definition! but its all those things and more

  

  On a 17 inch computer monitor this picture is to scale

  7" tall by 4" across it weights over 5 lbs 

    

  A quality the pictures can't show is that

  It resonates powerfully when cradled in two hands

   It's balances is amazing and stands easily in the palm of your hand

  and for such a large mass   it warms quickly to the touch

          

  Indoor lighting ...

  Orange?

  Green

  Purple

   

  The crystal was born in a fault system running along side of the canadian shield

  well over a billion years ago, at just about the time life on the planet was beginning to flourish 

   

   

   

   

  When you examine the crystal, there are two general areas to consider,

   

  

  the tip or termination

   

   

  and the root shaft of the crystal body..   

   

  I will try to explain the crystalline structural classification

    When I figure out just exactly whats going on with it!

  These crystals do not fit easily within the the normal habits for crystal termination

   

   

   

  

   

   

   

  Here you can see a thin coating of transparent quartz as it  glosses over the rich orange hematite coating of the minor faces in the back of the crystal

  The etched encoded surfaces of this transparent coating 

  show evidence of the most recent hydrothermal event 

   

   

     

  Here is that coating at 160 x....

   

   

   

  the two major peaks of terminations are amazingly undamaged by physical contact.  They do show evidence of chemical activity from a hydrothermal event that eroded some of the surfaces while depositing a thin druzy sugar-like frosting...

    

   

  this is the tip on the left 

  

   enlarged  x 20

   

  

   At  6O -X

  you can see the exposed underlying dark amethyst

  showing through the red coating

  Near the tip the coating was dissolved by the acids

  and heat of a high pressure water solution 

  (thus the term hydrothermal event) 

  the vivid triangle record keepers are concentrated

  where ever the orange coating is thick 

     

  this is the tip on the right side

   

  I was calling the dominate color in this picture orange

  but under the frequencies of the LED-lighting used by the microscope camera

   

  the coating appears to favor red..

  yet retains a hint of orange in the foreground  

  If you look deeply

  the subtle interplay of the shallow orange

  and deeper red give the impression of a dimensional depth

  and form interesting shadow patterns

   

  look at the interplay of colors

   with attention but no expectation

  and as they react with the quantum nature of light

  you may get the impression that this image you are viewing

  is more of a window ...

  because it is

   

  The metaphysical people I have shown this to have informed me  that the crystal functions as a new type of  'seed' crystal

  So I looked that up on the net

  "purposes of these seed crystals is to create complete holographic unity. It only requires one  Seed Crystal to holographical connect to all of seed crystals. This energetic connection forms an energy grid around the earth which links us to inner and outer worlds." Katrina Rapheall ....

  From my personal experience, I agree with some aspects of that observation

  but i would insist that no one believe that

  You must see that for yourself

   

   but i will tell you 

  The information window potential is there in many places on these ancient stones

   and once you find one present  

  and accept the knowing of that recognition of the reality   you are seeing... 

  that key acceptance  will open the window

    

  Lets have a look at the information in  parting plains of the crystals root

  The striated surface is not really a C-axis nor is it a cleavage surface

  I will go into more detail on exactly what it is later

   

  try looking at the qualities of light and dark in the green zones

  the green zones in the amethyst matrix are powerful encoders of information

  

  To help unlock the vision ...

  try looking for the shadows of the noses of these 'heads' ..

  Or the lips

  It' s helpful to see the

  Dark as depth and the lighter values as foreground

   

   

  

                        So what is the sandy grey colored stuff?  ^^ 

   lets have a look at 180 x  

   

   fascinating black and red zoned crystals in variety of forms  

   

  the color comes mostly from the 'orange' cement

  that binds red crystals to the surface 

  

    

   

  Dauphiné Law - is a penetration twin that results from transformation.

  

   

  Another look at the orange surface on the termination

  The depth of the structure of the interacting triangles is remarkable

   

  

   The glowing  iron rich hematite coating is vibrant indeed

  but removing the color might help see into the surface a bit

   

  

   The triangle is the basic code underlying this entire picture

  and light can do a lot with that!

   

   

   

  90 x

  The red/orange is the oldest,  the clear quartz in the vein formed next  and the last was the druzy yellow

  This picture shows the intersections of all these three

  types of the various surfaces

  of the crystal's termination 

  

   

   

  

  view of the transition zone from the crystal termination

  to the pseudo C-axis

   

   

   

  Now it gets tricky explaining the body or root of the crystal

   One can see that It is made up of  layers of phantom terminations

  The term Chevron amethyst is commonly use to describe this feature

   

  The phantons reflect and image of the tip  ....all the way down the crystal

   Each layer representing a span of time...like the thickness of  tree rings .

  In just such a way the entire crystal  records ...  about 1.5 billions years of  time 

   

  (some different crystals here might better illustrate the occurrence)

  

   

  The process of phantom-ization begins  when the crystal stops growing.

  This occurs when there is a change in conditions on the planet

  that subsequently change the nature or flow of hydrothermal fluids which feed it Quartz.

   

  .

  In the case of these crystals  ...

  growth continued again when heat sources from volcanic events 

  triggered new infusions of  dissolved  'amethyst slurry'  into the area

  During the hiatus in growth, small microcrystals of other minerals and microcrystals of 
   amethyst  grow  on the  surface of the ancient crystal...

   

  

  you can see it almost!

   a fresh surge of amethyst beginning to flow... adding new growth to the crystal 

  while capturing inside a record of the past shape of crystal.

   

  Much the same way... a photograph captures sun light

   Some feel they are ghostly look to it ... perhaps explaining why the term 

   phantom is so popular  

   

   

  But put aside the phantoms for a second and look at the striations on the surface of the purple sides

  

  as I stated before!

  The striated surface is not really a C-axis nor is it a cleavage surface..

   

  Its only near definition is

  that it is a 'parting" surface

  

  formed from an intentional  "field" property within  the crystal

  in a process that is yet not well understood

   

  What ever it is ..

  it's very interesting to look at and to touch!

  

   

   Ok...Lets have a look at the inclusions in the Amethyst body

  

  The microscopic view of the pseudo C-axis amethyst body

   

  

  Wild inclusions 

   

  

  The inclusions in the amethyst body are present in both in patterns on phantom layers

  and scattered throughout the amethyst matrix

    They include a host of minerals, most common are the sulfide metallic minerals who's presence throughout the crystal resulted from a magmatic fluids injected during and after regional volcanic events formed the veins of  amethyst. Inclusions formed as fluids cooled, depressurized, and reacted with wall rocks...

  This photo is cut and pastes directly from assay of a similar crystal from the mine

   and as you can read it contains this amazing combination of elements

    

           Ag,Al,Ba,Be,Bi,Ca,Cd, Co,Cr,Cu,Fe,Hg,K,La,Mg,Mn,Mo,Na,N, P,Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sr, Th,Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Zn, Zr

  The minerals identified as inclusions in the crystals from this locality so far are:

  Lepidocrocite,Cocoxenite, Goethite, Pyrite, Chalcopyrite,

   Sphalerite, Copper, Limonite, Pyrolusite, Hematite, Epodote, Magnetite and Rutile..

  to just name a few... the list is growing and is not close to complete 

   This Crystal does contain all of the requirements to me labeled as a

  Melody's Super Seven

  And as such it may be one of the largest Super Seven crystals discovered to date

   

  

   

   

  

  The only significant damage to the crystal appears to be where

  a layer of the orange coating has flaked off

   

    

  I hope you enjoyed the pictures...

  of the crystal i call

  The Ancient Master
