High-Altitude Crystal — Trigonal, Mohs 7
Essence
Carries high-altitude stillness into meditation and aligns the crown to pure awareness. It works through the Crown chakra (Sahasrara), the seat of the bridge between individual consciousness and the wider field of awareness. Under Moon (Chandra)'s influence, aligns the crown centre with the stillness of high places, supporting the deepening of meditation and the perception of pure awareness beyond the ordinary mind. Reach for it when navigating clarity, spiritual growth, inner vision.
