This 12-sided precision cut wand has a couple of nice Phantoms, these are the only inclusions in the whole thing; it is 3-1/16ths inches (78 mm) long.
A little about these Healing Wands & their History:
Cut-quartz wands of this type are healing, energy moving tools originally designed and invented by Marcel Vogel.
Marcel was Scientist, Inventor and Researcher who accumulated over 100 patents during his career at IBM, where he became a Vice-President of Research & Development before retiring. Among the technologies he developed are: Early Liquid Crystal Display screens; the use of sound to grow very large, perfect silicone crystals for cutting into computer chips (if you have ever seen the “Quartz Singing Bowls”, this was his invention and that was their original purpose); and a way around an “unsolvable” problem in cutting these chips that allowed us to reduce their size to about 1/20th of where they were. His creativity & technical prowess are more than a little well known in computer science circles (not to mention within “meta”physics circles, but most people in the world are familiar with and effected by Marcel Vogel’s work already, if they have used a computer or a television).
After an experience with a natural Quartz crystal, he became intrigued and turned his considerable skills toward exploring this medium. Eventually, he became so involved in “meta”physics that he retired to form his own company, Psychic Research Inc., who’s mission was to study and measure the energy & effect of Human love/attention: what he called "prahna". These lenses are one of the products of that endeavor & were originally produced by PRI.
These creations of his are pretty well known & popular, so any number of people make these styles of faceted quartz, but many of them are “knock-offs”: Vogel was a scientist and very precise about how these were to be cut (length along the c-axis of crystal growth for example) to work best. The lenses I use in my art are cut by Ray Pinto, engineer and one of the cutters Marcel employed at PRI, and are made with care and love, as well as attention to the necessary specifications in order to be optimal tools.
Additionally, many people working with and promoting these tools claim to be the “only” persons making “real” ones, I do not know others' skill, intention, and history; so I do not make this claim [on Ray's behalf], notwithstanding his precision engineering skills and history at PRI with Marcel; and his intention to continue to develop and create quality crystal healing tools comparable to “Vogel-Cut Crystals®” or any other brand or trademark.
It is my intention to see that Ray is able to create as much of his art as possible, and that those whom are drawn to such fine things are able to find this awesome art/engineering.
Well that's my own small write-up regarding Ray, Marcel, and his Crystal Wands, you can read more about Marcel and his work in his own words in the 1986 interview "The Advocacy of Marcel Vogel", courtesy of Magical Blend magazine.
