The Carved (Natural) Quartz Crystal is recognized by the existence of a carved triangular face- the carving outlines the face and is etched such that the location of the engraved portion is normally white in appearance. This configuration can assist one in the contact with extra-terrestrial information which is beneficial to ones growth and to the growth and increased awareness of our planet. It is a tool for the transfer of information between the self and others who reside on other planes of existence- the ethereal and the astral planes can be accessed without actual out-of-body travel to same. In addition, this formation has been used to stimulate the recognition of details related to Earth-changes, astrological significance, and weather patterns. It has further been used for dowsing- the carved portion being the "yes" significator.
