Modern whales have a common ancestor that lived about 34 million years ago. They continued to evolve and grow until they reached their present size about 4.5 million years ago. Many adaptations followed until they are as we know them today.

Whales symbolize wisdom and thoughtful insight. Their longevity gives them a different outlook on many aspects of life. Extreme age results in a wealth of rich memories and experiences to encourage independence and self-confidence. With the whale as your spirit animal, you can rely on its strength of understanding and intelligence. It can be helpful in reducing stress and anxiety, as well as learning how to rest easily and effectively.

Quartz crystal is the most abundant gemstone in the earth's crust. It is found on every continent. Clear quartz is considered a power stone and can enhance the metaphysical properties of other stones. Quartz Crystal has a similar vibration as humans. Using a crystal to meditate and wearing or keeping a crystal helps to a better understanding of yourself.

Quartz amplifies and directs energy and builds energy pathways. It can strengthen the energies of anything it is put with, and can be used to channel energy and send it out to other stones. The resonating quality is the reason that quartz was originally used in radios and other transmitters, and manufactured crystals are still used in electronic devices today.
