NOTE

A mysterious Miyazaki crystal with a silky texture and distinct ledges.

This quartz comes from Iwato, Takachiho, and is known as Takachiho Iwato Quartz.

Chlorite inclusions can be seen within the cluster and the crystal, making it a chlorite-in-quartz specimen.

Its form resembles a battleship, with a slightly curved growth characteristic of bent quartz.

There are many penetrations, which may be a common feature of Takachiho quartz.
Depressions at the edges of the prism faces are also penetrations.

Clusters growing from the matrix form natural bridges throughout the piece.

Japanese quartz is usually small and opaque, but this piece stands out for its size and clarity.
A pillar of light appears inside, reminiscent of a Devic Temple crystal.

Crystals with strong messages often have many elements.
It reminds me of Russian Lemurian crystals—their popularity, strong presence, and sense of mystery.
It feels like a Japanese version of Russian Lemurian.

Miyazaki Quartz is very popular because of its limited production, uncertain future availability, and its link to the legend of the heavenly descent.

This locality seems to produce crystals with distinctive forms and a deeply suggestive, mysterious presence.

It is hand-mined deep in the forests of Miyazaki Prefecture.
A certificate of origin from the miner comes with it.

ABOUT CRYSTAL

Miyazaki Crystal

Miyazaki Prefecture is a mountainous region located between Mount Aso and Mount Shinmoedake, home to Kirishima. Kyushu, home to active volcanoes such as the constantly erupting Sakurajima and the super-powerful Mount Aso, must have been an area of ​​great tectonic activity. Minerals like quartz are produced in fault zones where tectonic activity occurred in ancient times. Southern Kyushu may be an area blessed with minerals.

Miyazaki crystal is a high-quality crystal mined in the foothills of the Kumamoto prefecture border, such as Takachiho Town and Itaya, Nishimera Village. Mount Sobo, which is also on the border with Oita prefecture, is also a crystal production area, and Marimo crystals are mined on the Oita side. The reason why famous crystal production areas are scattered all around Miyazaki prefecture is because of its rugged mountainous terrain. In fact, Miyazaki prefecture is also a famous crystal production area, fitting for the myth of the descent of the heavenly grandson.

Clear, shining quartz is found in Itaya, Nishimera Village (quartz), while strangely shaped quartz and candle quartz are mined in Takachiho and Mt. Sobo. Minerals such as smoky quartz and axinite are also produced here.

    

It is located deep in the Kyushu Mountains, and looking at the map, it is at the western end of the Nankai Trough, making it an area susceptible to major crustal movements, and I believe that this is also the reason for the minerals that were born. In southern Kyushu, the eruption of Mount Shinmoedake was a precursor to the Tohoku earthquake, and there are places throughout the Japanese archipelago that show signs of the beginning or foreshadowing of major crustal movements, which I believe may also provide hints for the legend of the descent of the heavenly grandson and the origins of Japanese mythology.

Among the Miyazaki crystals, the clear quartz Itaya crystal has a very strong brilliance that draws you in, and its many metaphysical elements and appearance often remind me of Russian Lemurian. It may not have the same compulsive power as Russian Lemurian, but it has a softer feel to it, and I think it has a very strong impact in terms of subconscious tectonic shifts.

Considering that it is a domestically produced quartz crystal, I think there is a high degree of synchronization with the stone, and the fact that stones with strong messages have appeared is also a message for us, and its coercive power may be no less than that of Rosillem.
