Agape Crystal, What Is It?

Crystals™ contain the energies of many different minerals, the seven most common being Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Cacoxenite, Rutile, Lepidocrocite and Goethite combined. The word "AGAPE" comes from the Greek word meaning "an out-pouring of unconditional love". After many years of cutting, polishing and faceting these crystals, we have also discovered some rare crystals that have exhibited patches of Citrine, inclusions of Hematite, Mica, Clevelandite and Pyrite for a total of twelve possible inclusions. Because of their rarity, many of these have found a treasured place in our collection. Generally speaking though, the more minerals that are visible, the more valued the stone, whether natural, polished or faceted. In addition, all of our Agape Crystals™ and the jewelry made from them have been bathed in the waters of a beautiful crystal clear, spring-fed waters in our beloved Ouachita National Forest

The "brotherhood" of minerals contained within these crystals is not unlike our brothers and sisters of our Native American Medicine Wheel, combining and sharing their energies and gifts with their human companions to help them on their paths to spiritual enlightenment and completion. These phenomenal crystals never need clearing or cleansing and can exhibit all the formations, traits and habits of Rock Crystal. They can be found only in Espirito Santo (meaning Holy Spirit) Brazil and come from an area there which is well known for its many varieties of included Quartz and other gemstones. When rotated within our fingers with light upon them, the tiny rainbows created by all the mineral inclusions, sometimes exhibit a "flambeau" effect. Like a magnificent display of "fireworks" encased in stone, they are reminiscent of the energy emissions of Aurora Borealis. Agape Crystal™ vibrates to the master number 11, the most intuitive of all numbers, representing illumination and deep insight, as well as spiritual harmony.

In addition to carrying the individual properties of each mineral contained within the stone, Agape Crystals™ have come to be associated with an out-pouring of the Divine Feminine energies such as unconditional love, compassion, forgiveness, and healing, to name a few. During the many years we have been working with them, and in these days of ever-growing spiritual enlightenment, these Agape Crystals™ have shown themselves to be a wonderful companion stone for "reviewing and releasing" old ways of thinking and acting which do not serve us on our paths to enlightenment, or those which do not allow the ways of "peace and harmony" to rule in our lives. In addition, and in our own experience, these amazing crystals can aid in awakening, stimulating, and developing our psychic abilities, including telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircognizance and clairsentience.

*It should be noted here that even if some of these minerals are microscopic and not eye-visible within the stone, all of their properties are still within the crystal, as they are all indigenous to the area where these crystals are mined. Rarely do we find even the seven most common minerals within the same stone, but just like the minerals within Mother Earth that flow through the vine to the grape and give a fine wine its distinct flavor, so do these minerals combine to create this incredible crystal.

Agape Crystals™ are a tremendous gift from Mother Earth which have come to light now, to assist us all in developing our gifts and abilities to be used with wisdom and compassion, in conjunction with the healing and ascension of Earth Mother and all her inhabitants. They can help you to recognize and embrace the gifts or abilities you may not yet be using, and are especially good for those who may be experiencing empathetic feelings with Mother Earth, or are dealing with the results of the "earth changes" which have already begun and are progressing rapidly now. A wondrous gift to humanity, we are truly blessed to be working with them and look forward to sharing them with you.

MAY IT ALWAYS BE SO!!!



Here then are some of the physical and metaphysical properties of the seven most commonly found minerals within these incredible Agape Crystals™.

AMETHYST is a variety of Quartz (silicon Dioxide with aluminum, manganese and iron) which can be found all over the world. A crystalline formation, Amethyst is often found in geodes, and depending on the amount of aluminum present, colors will range from lavender to deep purple.

Amethyst is a wonderful companion stone for those who are seeking spiritual enlightenment, and opens us to receiving an out-pouring of Divine Love. It is a great bestower of strength, stability and peace in stressful situations, being a very strong tool for transmuting "negative" to "positive" energy. It is a terrific choice for those wishing to instill more patience in their lives, reminding us that we always have "enough" time for everything. Amethyst is also an excellent choice for shielding and protecting against psychic and negative attack.

CLEAR QUARTZ CRYSTAL, sometimes known as Rock Crystal, is solidified, silicon dioxide. The most common mineral in the kingdom, it can be found all over the world in many different formations from tiny grains of sand to flowing sheets, to massive, hexagonal prismatic crystals. Large deposits of Rock Crystal can be found and are commercially mined in Mt. Ida Arkansas "The Crystal Capital of the World," as well as Brazil and the island of Madagascar.

Quartz crystal has a unique property in that it is "piezo-electric" meaning that when pressure is applied, such as being held in the hand, it changes the polarity of the point from a positive, which is a receiving energy, to a negative, which is an emitting energy, and as such can be used as a wonderful tool for storing, transferring, focusing, receiving, transmitting and amplifying energy.

A beautiful manifestation of God's pure love and light, Crystal helps to bring celestial energy to the soul and can enhance and amplify both energy and thoughts. Believed by many of our indigenous people to be the brain cells of our living Mother Earth, and found universally in many cultural and religious practices throughout the world, the many different formations and characteristics of these crystals are a reflection of our own personalities and traits and tend to attract like-minded energies to themselves. When we see how determined they are to co-exist in harmony and find perfection, it reminds us that when we strive to be pure in body, mind and spirit, and grow with love, we too can find that perfection and completion in our lives. Crystal is a wonderful tool for communication and for receiving information from other-worldly masters, healers and teachers. It can be used to greatly increase the transmission of energy flows of love, light, peace and harmony for the greater good of all mankind.

SMOKEY QUARTZ Crystal is Rock Crystal which exhibits a light to dark smokey gray to black color throughout the crystal, usually due to being exposed to Uranium or other natural radiation during growth. The density and diffusion of the color depends greatly on the concentration of the radiation within the area as these crystals were forming.

Smokey Quartz is a wonderful companion stone for those who seek "grounding and centering," enhancing focus and attentiveness to the moment. In addition, it is an excellent choice for those seeking to promote creativity and "good business acumen" within all relationships in their lives. It has shown itself to be of great assistance in fighting the growth of the "free radical" and is also an excellent choice for those who are under a lot of stress.

CACOXENITE is a Hydrated Iron Aluminum Phosphate Oxide Hydroxide. Mostly occurring within our Agape Crystal, Amethyst or Quartz, it consists of acicular, needle-like crystals, ranging in color from brown inclusions to richly golden spears.

Cacoxenite included crystals are wonderful companions for those who are here to assist in the "enlightenment of humanity." They can help to bring a new spiritual awakening," promoting new ideas and understandings, and aid us in seeing the positive, and benevolent sides of life.


GOETHITE is an alpha-Hydrated Iron Oxide that occurs naturally and can be found within most iron mines. Habits may include prismatic as well as plate-like crystals, or aggregates, such as botryoidal and stalactitic formations.

Goethite within Agape Crystals™, Amethyst and Quartz mostly appears as a chunky black deposit within the crystal. Amplified by the properties of the crystal, Goethite helps us to become "in tune" with the energies of the Angelic Realms and the Higher Self. It can amplify, facilitate and enhance communication with these realms, and can stimulate and augment clairaudient abilities. Goethite is also a wonderful companion stone for those wishing to lessen the burdens of distraction, and increase their abilities to concentrate and focus.


LEPIDOCROCITE is a Hydrated Iron Oxide which ranges in colors from ruby-red to gold to brown. Considered a "flambeau" mineral (from the Old French "flambe") or small fire) these inclusions remind me of tiny "tongues of fire" as they seem to streak through these crystals. They are usually ruby-red "flames" when found within Amethyst and Agape Crystals.

Lepidocrocite within Agape Crystal™, Amethyst or Quartz can help to promote grounding and centering, while acting as a stimulus to intellectual pursuits. It is extremely beneficial to clearing any mental confusion, and to expanding and retaining knowledge. This stone is also excellent for all those on an "ascension" path, helping to awaken and enhance communication with the Higher Self, and the ethereal, Angelic Realms.


RUTILE is a major ore of titanium, a metal which is used in high tech alloys because of its light weight, high strength and resistance to corrosion. A Titanium Oxide, Rutile is also finding its way into the gemstone markets. Often found as inclusions in Quartz, Amethyst and Agape Crystals it may appear as tiny strands of "angel-hair" which seem to stream through the Quartz and range in color from black to red to green to silver to gold, or it may be wider ribbons, usually in gold. Having a high refractive index (2.63) gives it a sparkle greater than that of a diamond (2.42) and makes it very desirable for jewelry.

Rutile within Agape Crystal™, Quartz and Amethyst can bring strength coupled with love, ease in making transitions, and an accelerated growth in all levels of development, body, mind and spirit. It is an excellent choice for promoting and building stability within relationships, marriages and emotional or mental imbalances. In addition, it is an incredible tool for dispelling unwanted energies in both the physical and spiritual realms, and can aid one in astral travel.

These Agape Crystals™ never need clearing or cleansing and are wonderful companions, as well as tools to expedite spiritual enlightenment and our ascension process, and can be used in a variety of ways...you can place them on your third eye, meditating with them to share their energies, or you can place them between your thumbs and fore-fingers of both hands, completing a circuit right through your heart, to help calm, clear, balance and connect with your higher being. Wearing jewelry created from Agape Crystals™ has also been very empowering to the "light-worker agenda." Simply having them in your presence is enough to receive their gifts, and, since we do most of our healing at night while we sleep, these crystals are also great bed-side companions.

MANY THANKS AND MANY BLESSINGS!

"RavynHawk"

Greetings to all our growing family here at "The Crystal Seen" and welcome to the first edition of "As The Ravyn Flies." I have been asked to start a metaphysical "blog" so that we can keep you all well-informed about all the wonderful things that are taking place on this earth right now, and especially right here in Arkansas. We live in such a remarkable time, and we are standing on the threshold of a glorious New Earth, where old paradigms (which no longer serve us) are beginning to give way to wondrous new, ascension-oriented ideals.

17 years ago, Dino and I made a life changing-journey from Austin, Tx. to Arkansas to dig our first crystals, and it has been a "rock and roll express" ever since! We moved to Mount Ida, the "Crystal Capital of the World" and a focal point within the Crystal Vortex here in Arkansas in the fall of 1999 to continue our work here, and we became a "beacon" for those who were being drawn here. Now I know why. We have now been here almost 10 years and continue to draw many of those who are now being called here. Should any of you have an "uncontrollable urge" to come and visit, you will be most welcome! We can even help you plan your itinerary and help you meet your every need while visiting.

There is so much happening right now, it is hard to know where to begin, so we will begin at the beginning...

Since January 1st 2001, there have been a series of triple gateway days which continue to this day and will do so until 2012. They are as follows~ 1 January 2001, 1-1-1, 2 February 2002, 2-2-2, 3 March 2003, 3-3-3 and so on. These key dates have been chosen as a series of "activation triggers" in order to usher us into our New Earth and the Crystalline Age.

In June of 2008 (on the Summer Solstice) the Blue Crystal of the Temple of Knowledge in Atlantis was awakened to 25% of its capacity, and as of the triple gateway day of 8/8/8, it has progressed to 50%. I was truly blessed to be part of that amazing activation when we gathered on Talimena Ridge, outside of Mena, AR. As I drove up the mountain that day, the crystal energy was almost overwhelming, (even after 10 years of being constantly surrounded by it) and it left me with incredible feelings of a "spiritual giddiness" causing all the hairs on my arms and neck to stand at attention! I joined some friends there in meditation and prayer, and along with many Native Americans who were doing ceremony and drumming, our group aligned with this incredible Atlantean Master Crystal of Knowledge which is reputed to be 48 feet tall by 12 feet in diameter. It lies deeply buried in a chasm beneath Talimena ridge, having been moved there to save it during the final days of Atlantis. It has been in guardianship until now, and this is the first of three of these Atlantean Crystals to be awakened here in Arkansas. Other Atlantean Master Crystals have also been in guardianship at Mount Shasta, Lake Titicaca, Brazil and Bimini to be awakened in sequence on these triple gateway days. The awakening of this Master Crystal on 8/8/8 heralds the dawning of "The Crystalline Age."

That brings us to 9/9/9 and I am in preparation for the next activation of the Emerald Crystal of Healing, to take place on Mount Magazine ( the highest peak of the Ozarks and sacred ground) in just a few, short days. I am once again absolutely blessed and delighted to be a part of this, and this time, I will be taking many of our unique and ascension-oriented crystals and stones with me, in order to align them with the vibrational rays of the Emerald Crystal of Healing, as well as all the other crystals which will be awakening on that day.

I would also like to announce, that we will be creating a whole new category on our website to accommodate all of these crystals, and they will be written up and posted continuously upon my return, until they have all found their homes. A great deal of these crystals will be from Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo, Brazil and will include Super Seven Crystals, Lemurian Seed Crystals Indicolite included Crystals and Shamanic Dream Stones, to name a few. It is our intention to bring these crystals (who already carry the energies of the Crystal of Golden Healing and Regeneration) into alignment with the Crystal of Emerald Healing, uniting and amplifying both energies. In addition, I will also be gathering many specialty crystals from Arkansas including Lemurians, Record Keepers, Isis Crystals, Dow Crystals Elestials and many other configurations, as well as Honey Citrine Crystals, Chlorite Phantom Crystals, Ouachita Smokeys and more.

Many of you have asked me for an explanation of a "triple gateway" days. They are a sequence of numerical activation times from 1 January 2001 to 12 December 2012. In June of 2008 (on the Summer Solstice) the Blue Crystal of the Temple of Knowledge in Atlantis was awakened to 25% of its capacity, and as of the triple gateway day of 8/8/8, it has progressed to 50%. I was truly blessed to be part of that amazing activation when we gathered on Talimena Ridge, outside of Mena, AR. As I drove up the mountain that day, the crystal energy was almost overwhelming and left me with incredible feelings of a "spiritual giddiness" causing all the hairs on my arms and neck to stand at attention! I joined some friends there in meditation and prayer, and along with many Native Americans who were doing ceremony and drumming, our group aligned with and pledged ourselves to this incredible Atlantean Master Crystal of Knowledge which is reputed to be 48 feet tall by 12 feet in diameter. It lies deeply buried in a chasm beneath Talimena ridge, having been moved there to save it during the final days of Atlantis. Never to be removed, it is the first of three of these Atlantean Crystals to be awakened here in Arkansas. The awakening of this Master Crystal on 8/8/8 heralds the dawning of "The Crystalline Age." That brings us up to date, and we are in preparation for the next activation of the Emerald Crystal of Healing to take place on Mount Magazine (sacred ground, and the highest peak of the Ozarks) in just a few, short days. I am once again absolutely blessed and delighted to be a part of this, and this time, I will be taking many of our unique and ascension-oriented crystals and stones with me, in order to align them with the vibrational rays of the Emerald Crystal of Healing, as well as all the other crystals which will be awakening on that day.

For more information on the "triple gateway days" I have chosen some excerpts from the "Earth-Keeper Chronicles" by James Tipton, also known as Tyberonn.

*Now the aspects of the triple dates, is quite interesting. After the millennia, there is a unique sequence of dates that occur from 2001 to 2012. The triple dates are numerical frequencies that uniquely occur in this abbreviated format, occur sequentially for twelve years as :

· 1 January 2001, 1-1-1
· 2 February 2002, 2-2-2
· 3 March 2003, 3-3-3
· 4 April, 2004, 4-4-4
· 5 May, 2005, 5-5-5
· 6 June 2006, 6-6-6
· 7 July, 2007, 7-7-7
· 8 August, 2008, 8-8-8
· 9 September, 2009, 9-9-9
· 10 October 2010, 10-10-10
· 11 November, 2011, 11-11-11
· 12 December 2012, 12-12-12

We have also told you that the Blue Crystal of Knowledge, located in the Crystal Vortex of Arkansas, would be the first activated. Indeed it has been rebooted, and surged into the first tier step-up into approximately 25% power on the June solstice of 2008. We tell you that on the frequencial triple date portal of the 8-8-8 that it will launch into half strength and in so doing will also trigger the 144-Crystalline Grid into two-thirds functionality. The 8-8-8 activation of the Blue Crystal will trigger a sequential surge of axialtonal energy networking to the other eight. Four of these are scheduled to come on line on the 9-9-9, September 9th, 2009. These are the Om Crystal of Multidimensionality in Shasta, the Emerald Crystal of Healing in Arkansas, the Golden Crystal of Healing & Regeneration in Brazil, and the Sun-Moon Crystal at Lake Titicaca.

Here is more information from the "Earth Keeper Chronicles" on The Arkansas Crystal Vortex: The 9-9-9 Activation by James Tipton

*And so we speak again of the Atlantean Master Crystals that are now awakening in the dawning of the planetary Ascension.

The Heart Centre of the Arkansas Crystalline Vortex is the area of a unique activation on the 9-9-9. In truth this area will receive and distribute the most potent crystalline energy yet experienced on the Earth since the Golden Age of Atlantis. The sovereign sacred mountain of Mt Magazine is the heart centre of the Crystalline Vortex and this vortex-portal will receive & globally disseminate an energy so vital that it will change the energy of the planet. It will usher in the Crystalline Age. The 9-9-9 download will trigger the activation of the Emerald Crystal of Healing, the Om Crystal of Shasta, the Golden Crystal of Healing in Brazil, the Sun Moon Crystal of Light in Titicaca and bring the Blue Crystal of Knowledge into greater function. Four of the nine will be activated on the 9-9-9 and the fifth will be launched into greater power.

As such the 9-9-9 will activate more of the Master Crystals than any fore or aft portal time gate. The activation will initiate with the Emerald Crystal of Healing inside the potent crystal vortex of Arkansas. The activation energy will flow into the heart centre of this sacred vortex awakening the Emerald Crystal at 09:09:09 on 9 September, 2009. From the reverberation of the emerald will flash an electro-crystalline wave that will instantly awaken the other 3 and send a surge into the Blue Crystal of Knowledge.

Masters, no place on the planet will reverberate as powerfully with the Crystalline frequency on the 9-9-9 as the crystal vortex of Arkansas. Indeed the initial surge will occur there and then trigger the other awakenings axialtonally from inside the Arkansas Crystal Vortex.

In kind, they will energize the 144-Grid into 75% functionality and recode the Golden Sun Disc placed in Arkansas and align with the 12 patterns of same throughout the planet. Many are called, and many will come to participate in this Crystalline awakening, as part of an ancient contract, a sacred promise whose time has finally come. Many are there already, having been called to live within this crystalline vortex that will be fully in place in 2012.

Also on this date, the OM Crystal at Mount Shasta will be awakened and here is some more information...

*What is the OM Crystal?? Tens of thousands of years ago, 13 powerful crystals from Atlantis were placed in strategic Sacred Site locations around the world. They were to be activated in a specific sequence, during an exact moment in time, for the Ascension of our planet. The 999 Gateway is the time the hOMe Crystal is to be activated in preparation for the planetary Ascension shifts of December 2012.

This magnificent clear crystal shines with violet, silver and gold. It projects the frequency of the Platinum Ray, the Violet Ray, the Diamond Ray and the Christ Consciousness Gold Ray. It is the perfect balance of female and male energy. It holds the codes of Ascension, Divine Balance, and Universal Law & Truth. It also enables multidimensional travel and warping of time and space.

This crystal is essential for personal and planetary ascension. As the OM Crystal Activates so will our own Crystalline Lightbody and Divine DNA.

Excerpts are from the Earth Keeper Chronicles.

And lastly, I wanted to let you know that there are three very strong stones that pertain to the month of September. The traditional birthstone adopted by the jewelry industries is Sapphire, and the properties are as follows~

SAPPHIRE is a Corundum which comes in a "spectrum" of colors, the most common being indigo blue, and is the traditional birthstone for those who are born in September. Sometimes known as a "stone of prosperity" Sapphire is an excellent companion stone for those who are seeking to eliminate unwanted thoughts and frustrations, giving way to peace of mind and joy, and helping us to find creative solutions to our "situations."

And, in accordance with the teachings of The Medicine Wheel, for those born under the sign of Virgo in September, the grounding stone is Amethyst, and for those who are born under the sign of Libra, the grounding stone is Jasper. The properties of both follow~

AMETHYST is a variety of Quartz Crystal with a high concentration of Manganese and additional amounts of Iron and Aluminum which provide for the purple color variation. It is a wonderful companion stone for those who are seeking spiritual enlightenment, and it is a great bestower of strength, stability and peace in stressful situations, being a very strong tool for transmuting negative to positive energy. Amethyst is a terrific choice for those wishing to instill more patience in their lives, reminding us that we always have "enough" time for everything. In addition, it is the traditional birthstone for those born in February.

JASPER in general is a terrific stone for those seeking nurturing and protection, as well as balance and grounding, and according to the teachings of the Medicine Wheel it is the grounding stone for those born under the sign of Libra. Jasper can lend strength and a "fortified" increase of energy, especially in situations of isolation or abandonment, and it is a wonderful companion stone for those who work to bring joy to others. It can aid greatly in helping others to release the constraints that bind them. In addition, the many colors and varieties of Jasper each have their own unique properties, some of which are as follows.

And so my friends, as you can see, the month of September is going to bring us into some very high energy frequencies, and 9/9/9 is going to be a very dynamic day. Beginning at 9:09 (a.m. and p.m. CST) here in Arkansas and in designated places all over the world, there will be friends, families and groups gathering to align themselves with these energies, so if you are near a sacred site, you might want to pack up for the day and take your special crystals and other empowerment tools with you. As we all re-awaken our "crystalline light bodies" with the activation and alignment of the four Master Atlantean Crystals and the Crystal of Knowledge (who will now be at 75%) you will all be in our prayers and in my heart as I embrace the energies of the Emerald Crystal of Healing. You can read all about it in the October edition of "As the Ravyn Flies" and in the meantime, we look forward to hearing from you. If you have anything to share with our readers, especially regarding unique experiences you may have had with your crystals or stones, we invite you to share them on our blog, and remember, "We are the ones we have been waiting for, so shine those love-lights within!"

Well that is about it for now. Many thanks to you all for your continued interest, prayers and support, and stay tuned for the October edition of "As The Ravyn Flies!

CONTINUED BLESSINGS OF LOVE, LIGHT, PROSPERITY AND ABUNDANCE UPON US ALL!

Julie "RavynHawk" Kincaid
