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)! :)
