Heart of Quartz




While out shopping today I came across a beautiful pendant in the shape of a teardrop. It’s made from smoky quartz and for some reason I just had to buy it. It’s very beautiful and inspired the words below. Perhaps it holds some sort of other worldly magic within its depths. Who knows? But whatever it is .. I can definitely feel a rush of energy around me whenever I put it on. I like to call it my “voleur d’ames” - or translated roughly from French to English .. the soul stealer.

Her gaze fell upon the pendant displayed in the jewellers window. The purest form of smoky quartz - fashioned into the shape of a teardrop. It hung from a silver chain, bordered neatly by a row of small diamonds on the bottom - and then another much smaller row across the top - which then intertwined into a circle just where the object came to a sharp point. It was stunning and she knew she had to have it. But looking at it from outside the shop was nothing compared to the sensations she experienced when she tried it on and the pendant lay flush against her skin. A growing sense of warmth infused her entire body and she could sense the power that the pendant held. It was almost as if it had been made for her - fashioned from the very heart of the earth and then carved into its present form by the most cunning .. most diabolical .. most dark of all earthly magic - and the most skillful of hands. And somewhere in the back of her mind - as crazy as it seemed .. was the thought that only she was meant to find it.

She touched the pendant carefully, admiring the way it reflected the bright lights of the jewellery shop - and the way it hung perfectly around her neck. It was absolutely stunning .. almost mesmerizing in its beauty - and she couldn’t take her eyes off it. Kat could almost sense the dark power of the crystal as it began to wrap itself gently around her mind - taking hold of her thoughts .. leading her into another place, taking her back to another time. And when she finally looked up .. she was surprised to see that her eyes had become far away and empty - almost like the sky on a summers day when the clouds start to blow in from the west - gathering close together in those moments just before a thunderstorm. She let out a small sigh as a current of energy pulsed through her like a second heartbeat, vibrating to the very core of her being. She was hypnotized .. lost in the fathomless depths of the mysterious crystal, drowning in obsidian - as wave after wave of powerful energy crashed around her. And for a moment there was nothing else but the sound of those waves crashing into her soul.

“Excuse me ma’am - but are you going to buy that?” Kat did not move until the elderly shop keeper gently touched her arm .. while at the same time waving a rough, leathery hand in front of her face. He tried to capture her attention and bring her out of whatever trance like state she was in. Kat looked at him without a trace of comprehension for a moment until finally an awkward awareness began to dawn. She was standing in the jewellery shop on Maple Street and she had been trying on a teardrop pendant. A pendant she was very certain she was going to buy. A pendant that had been made just for her.

“Yes .. I’ll take it. But if you don’t mind - I’d like to wear it home” Kat said. “But of course Madam” replied the shop keeper. “It is breathtaking isn’t it? I don’t know where it came from or where it was made. All I know is it just appeared today .. in a shipment that arrived from Nepal. I tried to research it online and find out its origins .. you know so I could properly classify it and price it for sale - but oddly enough .. there was nothing. Call me crazy - but it’s almost as if it just materialized out of nowhere on the very day you decided to come in and buy it.” The shop keeper shook his head and laughed .. but Kat only nodded her head in complete understanding. The old man wasn’t crazy. In fact he was absolutely right. It did just materialize out of nowhere- so that it could be personally delivered to the one person who was capable of understanding and controlling the enormous power it held within.

Thanks Koffla. Just something I had written quite a long time ago and found again in a dusty old file.

It was supposed to be but for some reason nothing else ever came of it.
