John,
Does the quartz needs to be from the same country than the wine to be effective? or it does not matter. What about crystal size?
One would not want to compromise a good Ozzie, Chilean, Californian or French wine with Chinese or Bulgarian quartz. These last two countries would need 1 m longer quartz to improve on quality.
Would it work with single malts? Maybe I could try on a cheap blend and see if it rises to a single malt.
Sorry, I am always a skeptic when it comes to artificially improve wines.
Cheers
Jean

I have never understood that either. Many notable scientists, including Einstein, have maintained that nothing they learned in the course of their studies detracted from their belief in a supreme being or faith in general.
Conversely, there are clerics who don't find the pursuit of knowledge offensive. The monks of monastery in the area my mother grew up in apparently are all PhD scientists studying various aspects of the world we live in.
I am not an adherent to any organized religion, but it was fun to observe the faces of my fellow geology classmates when I started my seminar "The First Organisms?" with a quote from Genesis.
Anyway...welcome, Kat.

I took specimens I had found at the Oceanview Mine, Pala, CA to my rock club meeting for show and tell. I had found a rather nice quartz crystal in the tailings - 4-1/2 inches long and slightly over an inch across with a perfect top termination. The top inch or so is perfectly transparent. What I thought was an internal fracture just below this turns out to be some sort of inclusion. It looks like a circular flake of silver-colored mica and is on a plane at 45 degrees to the crystal. It reflects rainbow colors if held to the light just right.
Anyway, after the meeting, one member came and told me it was a rare Lemurian Seed Crystal - especially since two of the long faces were frosted and the others have horizontal striations.
Aa online search about Lemurian quartz crystals revealed an "interesting" story that these crystals were left in snad in Brazil by an advanced, alien culture on earth around the time of Atlantis. How this seed crystal got to California from Brazil, I'm not sure - although the owner of this fee-for-dig mine does have quartz from Brazil for sale in his shop.
I am interested in finding out what the inclusion might be. It looks like a flat circle of thin silver foil with a diameter of about 1/2 inch. It has very slight wrinkles which radiate out from the center to the circumference (somewhat like an oriental fan) with a small tear along one radius. Unfortunately, my kids have borrowed my digital camera and misplaced it, so I can't post a picture.

Without a picture is near impossible to help you Ellen. We aren't Lemurians (nor Atlantes) and therefore not magic power...;-)

Jean:
The possibilites are virtually endless. Could a fine sauce be improved by putting quartz sand in it? Hard on the teeth though. What if one decanted the wine into a vase carved out of a large quartz crystal? That should turn an ordinary Yellow Tail cabernet into a 1966 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. Boggles the mind, this does.

Let's see now, Lemurian seed crystal-perhaps with the right fertilizer we could indeed grow a Lemurian. It would seem, with all the lab work done by Russian tech's, it might already have happened. I agree with Mark, spirituality and science are both pursuits of the same thing, the unknown. Back to Lamurians, John, any chance we could get funding for the Argi-Lamurian project? (It's nice to think there is room in this forum for a little levity)

Blasted Boji balls, Batman!!!!
I go away for a weekend and the entire Underground Railroad weighs in on all things metaphysical. I am intrigued by John's crystal girdle though. think of the possibilities!!! Well,, applications, so to speak.
Moving right along.....

Wow, this took off into a very interesting directions.. Erm, nice girdle.. And I actually know some people who would be definitely up for growing a Lemurian from the lemurian seed (yes, yes, I DO have a lemurian seed quartz) :p :)

Useless, USELESS !!!
Don't you guys know that the mystical energy radiates from the point of the crystal? So if the crystal is that much bigger than the bottle, the undetectable ineffable magical radiation is MISSING THE WINE !! What a waste!

Actually, Alfredo, rather than only getting the energy from the point of the crystal, the intructions for use of the Lemurian crystals claim that you can rub the horizontal striations with the fingers of your non-dominant hand (I love the level of specific details) to get encoded messages about unity and love from the ancient Lenurian people. Now, if this actually worked, maybe we could get various world leaders and politicians to rub quartz together.
Personally, I get most of my healing from rocks and minerals by licking them - especially lepiolite high in lithium. I always feel much happier after spending the weekend camping at the Thursday Mine near Banner, CA where they have been digging down through a cap of about 20 feet of incredible purple lepidolite. If they would ever work this mine seriously, I predict they would find specimens that equal the Himalaya Mine and Stewart Lithia Mine. For the last 20 years, they have been working it only a few weekends a year, by hand.

Hey, we have all overlooked the fact that amethyst derives it's name from the words A (meaning "not or without"0 and methystos (derived from the same root as methyl, as in methyl alcohol), thus yielding amethyst = "Not drunken", in the mistaken belief that one could avoid drunken-ness and/or the ensuing hangover, (is drunken-ness even hyphenatede?) at the local orgy by dunking an amethyst ring into the wine.
This is as close to metaphysical as I get, at least until Peter weighs in with his quartz crystal story. I think you have to have ingested a good deal of methyl (well, wine) to loosen him up for that story. It's worth the wait though....

How's this for late but (I think) accurate?
Came across this thread trying to figure out the same thing, having looked at some 'enchanting' spheres on eBay.
Did some searching, and your picture, the 'mystic merlinite', is likely Indigo Gabbro (Madagascar, maybe?) -- in THIS case -- although, as previously mentioned, the term is also still applied to dendritic opal/chalcedony and psilomelane, one of which (I forget exactly, I think the psilomelane) ought to be paired with quartz druze.
The druze info comes from a message about it at Hettie's Rock Shop, an old battle (saw? pick? drum of iron-out?): online, and in the New Zealand portion of the material plane.
Although I can't speak for quartz paired with wine (although both seem to pair well with the universe in general), I can definitely recommend some crystal girdle-ing -- around the head, maybe, or perhaps in a giant circular boundary (you know, for 'safety') -- to complement DMT.
Hope this helps (and is not, oh, 2 years too late to be relevant)! :)
