Golden Healer Girasol Quartz Palm Stone
“Golden healer” is a metaphysical trade name for golden yellow to ochre brown quartz colored by iron oxides like limonite. Girasol quartz is a clear to milky white cousin of star rose quartz. It typically has an opalescence or floating glow created by light scattering off microscopic fibers suspended inside it. This optical phenomenon is known as the girasol effect, from the Italian girasole, “turn to the Sun”. Both golden healer quartz and girasol quartz are associated metaphysically with spiritual and personal evolution, energy work modalities like Reiki, and emotional, mental, and physical well being.
This particular batch of pebbles ranges in color from a pale yellow to a brownish orange, against an almost translucent background to a smoky brown one. Some are colored consistently throughout the piece and others have layers like veiling. The girasol is usually tinted yellow by the iron oxides along natural fractures, so most pieces have a crackled appearance.
They measure approximately from 1/2"-1 1/2" tall, 2"-2 1/2" long, and 1 1/2"-2" across and weigh approximately 0.22-0.30 lbs.
