Metaphysically, clear quartz crystals have 6 primary properties; they are able to structure, store, amplify, focus, transmit and transform energy, including but not limited to matter, thought, emotion and information. They are said to heal, cleanse, balance and strengthen the chakras, resulting in physical, mental and emotional well-being as well as initiating and strengthening our innate intuitive abilities.

Lemurian quartz crystals were originally found in Brazil, and are often found in loose sandy soil, relatively close to the surface, in grid-like patterns all over the world, as if someone had planted them there.
Metaphysical legend indicates that the peaceful ancient Lemurian civilisation planted these unique crystals around 12 million years ago, for future generations to uncover.
The Lemurian civilisation is said to have existed prior to Atlantis, and was highly advanced and spiritually developed. Hawaii and other Polynesian Islands are thought to be the tops of ancient Lemurian mountains, having sunk beneath the Pacific ocean.
Lemurian crystals are considered to be master crystals; associated with all chakras and astrological signs, and are able to communicate with other crystals. Lemurian crystals possess a unique and powerful energy that is warm, nurturing, feminine, unifying and healing. In addition to having the most powerful intuitor energy in the mineral kingdom, their energy is said to be tuned to unity, and to helping balance spiritual and physical aspects of our lives.
Physically, Lemurian crystals have multiple bar-code like horizontal grooves, striations or stripes along one or more sides of the shaft. These are said to contain information, knowledge and wisdom programmed and embedded by the Lemurian civilisation. Lemurian crystals are used to clear and activate chakras, assist in removing energy blockages, aid in spiritual evolution and help with dream work.

The Lemurian seed quartz crystals that we use in our Orgones orgonite pieces are naturally double terminated.
Being an independent whole, rather than part of a matrix, double terminated crystals are said to have unique energy creation and amplification properties, as well as strong mental and physical protection properties, having an overwhelmingly positive affect on health, strengthening the aura.

They are more powerful than standard Lemurian crystals, and are relatively rare.
Standard single terminated crystals focus and amplify energy in one direction, but naturally double terminated crystals are known to simultaneously absorb and transmit energy in both directions. For example, a single terminated crystal can send energy from one chakra to the next; double terminated crystals can exchange energy between chakras, clearing blockages and bringing greater balance and stability.
This bi-directional transfer of energy can introduce or enhance stability in all the subtle energy systems of the body, and is especially useful in balancing energies between two people.

We believe aluminium and gold to be the best materials for use in organite, especially in combination with the rest of the high quality materials that we use. Any metal will work, but we find aluminium to be the strongest, and it is generally regarded as the best base metal to use.
Our aluminium is not offcut material, scrapings, turnings or any other by-product of industry. These types of scrap aluminium commonly used in ogronite are often contaminated with oil, grease, other metals and materials, as you would expect. Although the orgonte will normally still function fine, these impurities can disrupt the operation; if there is too much fine metal, the efficiency of the piece can become compromised.
The aluminium we use is brand new, 100% clean and pure, straight from the metal factory.

Moss Agate is a semi-precious gemstone formed from silicon dioxide. It is a form of chalcedony which includes oxides of manganese or iron embedded in clear or milky-white quartz, forming filaments and other patterns resembling moss.
As a cryptocrystalline, it is composed of crystals so fine that they cannot be seen as distinct particles under normal magnification. This sets it (and others such as chrysoprase, carnelian and onyx) apart from rock crystal, amethyst, citrine, and the other varieties of crystalline quartz.
“Agate” derives from the Greek name Achates; referring to the shore of the Achates River (now called Dirillo), where the stone was first discovered.
Throughout history, Moss Agate has been known as the crystal of gardeners and agriculture. It was also considered a miraculous healing stone for tribal priests, giving them power to interact with our human organic system, and was used as a talisman to make warriors strong and victorious.

Green Aventurine, also known as Adventurine, Avanturine, Aventurine Quartz, and Indian Jade, is a type of quartz comprised of interlocking macrocrystalline quartz grains with disseminated grains from other minerals that impart colours to the stone.
“Aventurine” derives from the Italian phrase a ventura, which translate as by chance; a similar-looking, but unrelated decorative glass, which was discovered by chance.
Some of the most primitive stone tools crafted by human ancestors more than 2.5 million years ago were found to be made of many quartz varieties, such as aventurine.
Green Aventurine is known as the Stone of Opportunity, and is thought to be the luckiest of all crystals in manifesting prosperity and wealth, and for increasing favour in competitions or games of chance. Its winning energy makes it a great ally for boosting one’s chances in any situation.
Green Aventurine releases old patterns, habits and disappointments so new growth can take place. It brings optimism and a zest for life, allowing one to move forward with confidence and to embrace change. So apart from attracting luck, it aligns conditions so that opportunity is enevitable.
It is said that carrying Green Aventurine in the left pocket is the ideal position for bringing about good fortune.
It should be used sparingly for this purpose though, as all luck evens out in the end.
Other metaphysical properties of Green Aventurine include providing a comforting, soothing, harmonising energy that protects the heard, increasing creativity and motivation, encouraging perseverance, amplifying leadership qualities, injecting a sense of humour, bringing about a better understanding and appreciation of nature, stimulating the physical growth of premature infants, young children and teenagers, enhancing intellectual development, assisting written work, and assisting people find love in their elderly years.

Tiger Eye, also known as tiger’s eye, metamorphic rock with a golden to red-brown colour, caused by the parallel intergrowth of quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibres that have mostly turned into limonite.
Tiger eye is a most ancient talisman, mysterious and powerful, thought to grant the ability to observe everything, even through closed doors. It was chosen by the Egyptians for the eyes in their deity statues to express divine vision, and was believed to provide the protection of the sun and earth combined; of Ra, the sun god and Geb, god of the growing land.
“Tiger Eye” derives from the big cat it is named after. While it may seem obvious that it was named due to its resemblance to the eye of a tiger, a tiger's eye does not have a pupil that elongates vertically like a cat's eye; a tiger's pupil remains round.
It could be based on a tiger’s stripes, which are similar to the striped coloration of the tiger eye gemstone, or it could be the metaphysical properties of the stone that are likened to the behaviour or character of a tiger.
A tiger exhibits unwavering focus, determination, perseverance, and patience. A tiger waits until the time is right, only takes what he needs to survive, uses but doesn’t abuse its power, and lives in harmony with nature. These are all qualities that resonate with the prominent metaphysical properties of tiger eye.
Other metaphysical properties include being a powerful solar plexus chakra stone, balancing the lower chakras, helping to manifest ideas, providing courage, enhancing psychic abilities, increasing creativity, aiding will power and concentration, and providing balance when experiencing extremes.

Physically, Selenite is a crystal composed of oxygen, sulphur, hydrogen, calcium and water, and is frequently found in alkaline lake muds, clay beds, evaporated seas, salt flats, salt springs, and caves.
“Selenite” derives from the Greek word selēnitēs, which translates as moonstone or stone of the moon; ancients believed that certain transparent crystals waxed and waned with the moon.
Selenite is thought to be excellent for clearing, charging, and enhancing the properties of other crystals and stones in close proximity, and is seen as a master of energetic clearing on all levels.
Metaphysically it is a protective stone, used to open, activate and clear all chakras, removing negativity and energy blocks on emotional, etheric and physical levels.
Other metaphysical properties include, increasing intuition and psychic awareness, awaken or deepen telepathic ability, aiding meditation (facilitating the full opening of the crown chakra - known in the Hindu tradition as the Thousand-Petaled Lotus), aiding quick spiritual growth, bringing harmony and inner peace, promoting honesty, enhancing mental clarity, decreasing confusion, stabilising erratic emotions, strengthening memory, aiding decision making, and shielding personal space from outside influences.
It has been claimed that selenite emits negative ions, and is able to change the chemical composition of liquids placed near it, but we have not been able to find any data to confirm these claims.
