From the heart of Africa comes a crystal that is made for these times: Earth-Keeper Quartz. This cloudy, milky form of Quartz has a subdued quality to it, with a rough and rugged presence that might tempt you to walk right past it in search for something brighter and shinier. Yet, some might argue that its unassuming appearance is a disguise to keep it under the radar. For those who have heightened energetic senses and a heart tuned for planetary service, Earth-Keeper Quartz will certainly call to you.

Earthkeepers have been on the scene and available in the rock yard at Nature’s Treasures for several years. They have been beautifully holding space for humanity and the planet, anchoring light into the grids and sharing their harmonious frequencies with all who are guardians of them.

Interestingly, this year’s new stock of Earthkeepers contains a high prevalence of an additional treasure: Tourmaline inclusions. Most of it is Watermelon Tourmaline, a high vibration stone that awakens the high heart chakra and higher consciousness. The presence of Tourmaline creates a synergy that takes the power of Earthkeeper Quartz to a new, upgraded level.

At a time when humanity is struggling on many levels, the Earth is providing this crystalline remedy to help us navigate it all with love, grace, and greater spiritual awareness. Keep reading to discover the beneficial properties of Earthkeeper Quartz, and what the addition of Tourmaline adds to the mix.

What is an Earthkeeper?

The word, Earthkeeper, has a variety of meanings and associations for different people. Essentially, Earthkeepers are conscious people who are tuned into the subtle realms of nature and the interconnectedness of all things. They have a calling to help humanity move into greater sync with the planet, honoring the sentience in all lifeforms and the land, while helping to upshift the world. Shamans, seers, healers, medicine people, wisdom keepers, spiritual teachers, and conscious environmentalists all fall under the umbrella of Earthkeepers. Those who feel guided to work with ley lines, power spots, and the planetary grid system are carrying out the mission of the Earthkeeper.

Crystal Expert, Katrina Raphael, is the first to have coined the name “Earthkeeper crystals.” She was referring to a specific master formation of Quartz that is gigantic in size, averaging five to seven feet and often weighing over seven thousand pounds. Her information suggests that these giant Earthkeepers were seeded in ancient times by a galactic race that eventually incarnated here to build advanced civilizations, such as Lemuria. The large Earthkeepers now hold the records of the Earth’s history. They are monoliths of high frequency light, which can be worked with in groups to transcend our limitations and achieve unity consciousness.

The Earthkeeper Quartz in stock now is not the same thing as the rare, mega-giants that Katrina Raphaell described, yet they have a compatible energy and mission. You can think of these petite versions as a crystalline talisman for the human Earthkeepers, providing energy and support for their calling to bring harmony, healing, and evolution to the Earth.

Earthkeeper Quartz: General Energetic Properties

Holding a piece of Earthkeeper Quartz feels like opening a channel to the heart of Gaia, herself. The vibration is slow, gentle, soothing, elevating, and powerful all at the same time. It’s a very settling and loving sensation, like a mother’s touch. It brings you back down to Earth, to the present moment. Simultaneously, it awakens your higher senses, opening you to other dimensional energy and messages. The messages you might receive are often related to how you can shine your gifts in service to others and the world. Here are some general metaphysical properties of Earthkeeper Quartz:

· Earthkeeper Quartz provides calming and grounding energy that relieves stress, anxiety, panic, worry, overthinking, and overwhelm.

crystal embodies and offers all the beautiful qualities traditionally assigned to the feminine energy: love, compassion, nurturing, creativity, intuition, healing, cooperation, inclusivity, receptivity, and attunement to the natural cycles. Working with it will help you develop these qualities in yourself. Perhaps its greatest gift is the heart opening it naturally brings, which is a key to healing all things and evolving spiritually.

Earth-Keeper Quartz with Watermelon Tourmaline: Additional Energetic Properties

The presence of Watermelon Tourmaline in the recent stock of Earthkeeper Quartz is a gift that greatly enhances the energy of the crystal, while bringing additional, complimentary metaphysical properties. Quartz is inherently an amplifier that increases the energy of other stones. Tourmaline shares this trait. It has a striated structure, exhibiting parallel grooves recessed down the length of the stone. The striations turn the stone into a wand that amplifies and channels energy through the grooves in a powerful way. This combination is a synergistic powerhouse of positive energy and light. Here are the additional energies and properties that Watermelon Tourmaline confers to the Earthkeepers.

· Watermelon Tourmaline is an elevating, pink and green gemstone that can balance all aspects of the being, while highlighting and expanding the heart. It balances both brain hemispheres, the chakras and layers of the aura, and masculine/feminine energies.

· Watermelon Tourmaline has a high lithium content, which balances and elevates the heart, mind, and spirit. Lithium naturally activates the third eye and intuition, which helps you to achieve a higher, meditative state of consciousness. Lithium-bearing stones also naturally emit a calming and balancing energy that can counteract feelings of panic, worry, anxiety, stress, anger, and other uncomfortable emotional states.

· Watermelon Tourmaline emits an energy field of wholeness and amplified radiance that influences each of us to achieve the same.

· Watermelon Tourmaline is the perfect gemstone for activating the high heart. Located a few inches above the heart chakra, the high heart connects you to higher levels of love—in the spectrum of Divinity, the soul plane, and higher dimensional realities. Divine Love is accepting--without conditions, fears, lower emotional tendencies, or the need to control. When you come from this space, you can understand the spiritual lessons and feel the love underneath all challenging situations. This allows you to forgive yourself and others, so that you can truly heal from past emotional hurts.

· Watermelon Tourmaline is known as Metatron’s Gemstone. It serves as a bridge to connect you with his love and wisdom. It is also known to radiate joy and bliss, a vibration that can transcend and transmute all forms of negativity.

All of you human Earthkeepers, do your thing and distribute the Earthkeeper Quartz across this beautiful world. You’ll be guided to leave them in all the right places where they are most needed.
