Silver crystallizes in the form of dendritic wires, scales, plates, masses/nuggets, and rarely, needle-like crystals. The color is silver-white which tarnishes to grey or black.
The occurrence of silver within a quartz crystal is not only beautiful, but rare. If one is fortunate enough to become an earth keeper for a quartz crystal containing silver, the uses are extensive. The properties of silver and the properties of the quartz crystal are combined to produce ‘dynamite ‘results.
Silver brings one ‘the advantage’ throughout life. It can be used to improve ones quality of speech and can bring eloquence to conversations. It tends to bring an air of culture to ones presence and to eliminate abrasive traits while promoting popularity.
It can be used as a mirror to the soul, one to stimulate seeing oneself from outside of the body. This sight is without judgmental attitudes and can provide for a stepping stone to the furtherance of that which the I ching recognizes as the ‘superior man’. It provides one with patience and perseverance to the tasks chosen and allows one to understand the underlying reasons for the tasks. It assists in increasing perception and helps to regulate the emotional and the intuitive energies.
It provides for a very strong connection between the physical and astral bodies assuring that one may always ‘come home’ from the astral plane. It tends to strengthen the ‘silver cord ‘which connects the astral body to the physical body providing for diminishment of the unconscious fear of the inability to return.
Silver is used extensively with the gem stones because the metal is able to both attract and retain, unto itself, those qualities which are emitted by the stone. The silver provides a steadying influence for the jewel. It is also used during the preparation of elixirs to energize the primary mineral for the use in the elixir. Occasionally, silver is placed with another mineral during the process of preparation of an elixir of that mineral.
It is known to enhance the powers of the moon and is an excellent mineral for use in energizing other stones during the full and new moons.
It is used to direct the energy of other minerals to the appropriate location. The malleability of silver is conducive to causing energies to bend, and to even become circular, such that the vital energy centers can be concurrently opened, stimulated, cleared, and activated.
It can draw forth negativity from the body while transferring the positive forces of the other mineral. Hence, it performs as a balancing agent.
Silver helps to cleanse the body via the pores, and to eliminate toxins at the cellular level. It can be used in the treatment of hepatitis, to increase the assimilation of vitamins A and E, and to ameliorate disorders associated with unstable vision.
