Its vibration of self-love, forgiveness and compassion for the child within, assists in reclaiming the self one was born to be.

Star Quartz
Star quartz (in Czech Hvězdovec) was discovered in the quartz veins penetrating melaphyre (basaltoid rock) on the hill Strážník by dr. Emil Porth from Wiener Geologic Institute, who was living in the area in the 1850’s. The unique radial star-shaped quartz aggregates were formed in low temperature conditions. Unusual quartz form was then reported in literature in 1857 by A. E. Reuss and F. Pošepný. The site was quite famous at the time and star quartz could be seen in many museum collections.
The maximum reported diameter of radial aggregates was 10 cm. Nowadays, the site where the star quartz was found was covered with soil – to prevent further collecting – it was declared a natural preserve in 1963. This makes this piece especially rare.
