This Smoky Elestial Cathedral Quartz with Citrine Inclusion is from a recent find in Brazil. We believe it's from the area of Espirito Santo based on its etched surfaces, which would be characteristic of the crystals from this region.
Smoky Quartz is one of the most powerful grounding and protection crystals in the mineral kingdom. It not only protects one from heavy/dark energies, but actually works to dissolve these energies as one encounters them, allowing more positive/light energies to take their place. Citrine activates, opens, and energizes the Solar Plexus and Navel Chakras, releasing personal power, creativity and most importantly the ability to manifest.
ABOUT THIS CRYSTAL
We are nearly speechless about this massive Smoky Elestial Cathedral Quartz with the most otherworldly etchings. It is quite simply one of the most unique pieces we have ever offered here.
The first thing we notice about this piece is its size. Weighing in at over 8 pounds, this is a giant statement piece that sits PERFECTLY upright on its own. It displays a rich smoky hue with marvelous luster, as well as some hints of smoky gold indicating some Citrine inclusion. On the right side, there is a portion that has a lighter second overgrowth. When backlit (as seen in Photo 5) you will be able to see just how beautiful the translucency is, and also pick up a little more of that mild golden tinge in places.
However the highlight of this piece is the extremely unique etchings that we see on the left and back side. In Photo 1, you will see what we feel is the most unusual of these etchings, a geometric imprint that reminds us of some kind of galactic seal, or some light language hieroglyphics! We have never seen anything like this in all our years of crystal collecting.
While that particular etching is the most striking, the entire left and backside are covered in more linear etchings. These etchings are very deep "grooves" that you can run your finger over and feel the depth.
There are some *very* tiny "fleabites" across the top of the main facet and a minor chip on the upper right portion of the main facet. But aside from this, the termination is excellent. A true extraterrestrial powerhouse, absolutely magnificent.

________________________________
CATHEDRAL QUARTZ
Cathedral Quartz refers to a formation of quartz whose formation and etched surfaces bring to mind "spires" or "castles." Sometimes this takes the form of actual multiple terminations, points, and crystals. Other times it is more subtle in nature, and may refer to as the formations on the surface of the Quartz (i.e. "cathedralization").
Crystals with this formation carry an energy that teaches the importance of being a part of the "whole," and may be a useful crystal for group healing and spiritual community. Used on one's own, it can be a wonderful crystal to meditate with, gently facilitating the exploration of higher spiritual realms. Those who work with the Akashic Record may find Cathedral Quartz to be great allies in their work as well.
CITRINE
Citrine activates, opens, and energizes the Solar Plexus and Navel Chakras, releasing personal power, creativity and most importantly the ability to manifest.
Citrine opens the higher mind to accept joy in one's life, releasing anger and negative feelings, deep-seated fears and destructive tendencies. An excellent crystal for overcoming depression, Citrine is wonderful for those who are overly sensitive to outside energies and influences. Worn, carried, or used in crystal healing, the radiant yellow color will increase the amount of light surrounding the body and protect the aura. It is also a good talisman to have in situations where one needs to feel confident and secure.
SMOKY QUARTZ
Smoky Quartz is one of the most powerful grounding and protection crystals in the mineral kingdom. It not only protects one from heavy/dark energies, but actually works to dissolve these energies as one encounters them, allowing more positive/light energies to take their place. Smoky Quartz provides a protective barrier of energy for the user, offering grounding and stability when working in other realms, and helping one to receive more high vibrational light energy. Its frequency is known to facilitate contact with the spirit world.
Smoky Quartz is also wonderful to aid in the relief of stress, resentment, depression, fear and anger, teaching one how to let go of what is no longer needed. It correlates to the Root Chakra, providing a strong foundation for the user.
ELESTIAL QUARTZ
Elestials are very special crystals with a unique and profound earth energy, useful in manifestation and connecting with one's inner truth. While various sources will say different things about their metaphysical properties, we find them to be of an incredibly high vibration, but in a rather different way than perhaps something like a Lemurian Quartz might be. Their vibration is one that resonates with the earth itself, and one that seems to be able to facilitate a connection to this primal earth energy with that of the Divine and the Etheric Realm.
Through this connection, they facilitate work that allows one to connect with his/her innermost truth, allowing the holder to become part of this loop of earth and heavenly vibration. Through this connection, they also facilitate contact with nature spirits, as well as cosmic entities.
Elestials often bear geometric patterns which in and of themselves display profound laws of the universe, as if the symbols of a cosmic alphabet have been formed in these crystals.
On a more practical level, Elestials can bring to the surface that which needs to be dealt with and healed, and make us aware of that which is preventing us from experiencing truth. Just as Elestials often display layers of different types of growth, so can they help us peel away layers of ourselves to get to the core of our emotions and true self. Their growth patterns are beautiful crystallized examples of all the different directions we can move in our lives, making these crystals wonderful for manifesting our desires.

Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.
We have sold many kuripes and tepis over the years and very rarely have had one returned because of fit. Our designs are nearly universal and designed to fit just about everyone.
That said, we always suggest that once you receive your kuripe to "try it on" without hapé first to ensure a good fit. If you find it is not a good fit, please contact us and we'll work out a return or exchange (*please be sure you do this before you actually use it with hapé, because once it has been used, we are not able to accept returns for hygienic reasons).
If you have special sizing requests or you're not sure what you need, just ask and we'll be happy to help you!
No! Our only online presence is our Etsy shop and on Instagram and Facebook.
If you're seeing our EXACT listing photos and copy for goods (specifically Kuripes or Tepis) on Ali Baba (or elsewhere), for impossibly low prices, please know THIS IS NOT US and it is a scam.
We work hard to protect our Intellectual Property (photos/copy) but it can be nearly impossible in this day and age with sites like Ali Baba, whose platform makes it difficult to file IP complaints, and which is overrun by scammers.
If you're ever in doubt, please reach out to us here!
One caveat is that we do offer our HanaqPacha sprays to some great independent resellers, so please continue to support them!
We do our best to accommodate all customer requests. We accept returns and exchanges for items that are not as described, do not fit, or are damaged.
We unfortunately cannot accept returns or exchanges for items that the buyer "does not connect with energetically" or "changes their mind" about after the fact. This is unfortunately a risk one takes purchasing metaphysical items online.
We also cannot accept returns or exchanges on products like used kuripes for hygienic reasons, or sprays that have been used/tested.
However if you received a product that does not fit, does not work, is not as described, or is otherwise problematic -- excluding the exemptions we've indicated here -- contact us & we will do our best to rectify it for you.
Yes!!! 100%!
One of the main reasons we began HanaqPacha was to support the communities that have helped us so much with their healing, their culture, their medicines, their hospitality. Now, we work with many artisans in Peru and Brazil (and Indonesia, and beyond)... and do our best to support them, their families and their local economies by purchasing their wares at the most fair prices possible.
Your business helps us expand our global "family" even more, commissioning more unique works by our friends both at home and abroad.
If you provide an incorrect shipping address & catch it right after ordering, simply message us to let us know. If it’s caught right away there is usually no problem in updating the shipping address before we ship.
However, please understand that you, the buyer, are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address for your order. If you do not provide an accurate shipping address, we cannot be responsible for rerouting a parcel once it has left our hands.
If an item is returned due to an incorrect shipping address that you provided, we can reship, but will need to charge for the reshipping fees. This can get expensive and time-consuming. So please take a few seconds before submitting your order to ensure that all info is correct.
Yes! We ask only two things of our customers: 1.) Please read the entire item description before ordering and 2.) Please respect our shop and policies.
Most customer issues arise because someone did not read the item description or store policies. We spend a lot of time including DETAILED descriptions of each item, as well as at least 8 photos of each item. We do this to ensure our customers' satisfaction. However the one catch is that you need to read the information we provide so you can make an informed decision, to ensure that you will receive the exact thing you are in search of.
Not doing so risks lengthy and expensive return processes which are frustrating for all. So please read the descriptions and policies prior to ordering ;)
No, unfortunately we are not able to offer local pickup at this time. However we do ship just about daily and orders to the LA area typically will arrive in 1-2 days once shipped (Priority Shipping is generally 1 day in most cases).
Yes! One tip really: we ask that you track your item periodically via Etsy once we ship.
Many times, international items experience long delays in customs (which is normal), and sometimes parcels are "held for collection" at the local post office of the buyer and need to be picked up, or else they will be returned to seller. It is the responsibility of the buyer to stay abreast of this, so they can be sure to attend to any collection or signature required by your local post office.
If an item is returned due to non-collection, you will need to file a claim with Etsy and/or wait until the item is returned to us (which may be months) for reshipment, and then pay for reshipment.
Much easier to track and stay updated!
Please contact us right away and we will do whatever we can to resolve the issue.
While we know the initial reaction may be to leave a negative review, please reach out to us first and give us the opportunity to help you. We're not perfect, but we do take accountability when we are at fault or when we have made an error.
We want all our customers to have a positive shopping experience with us. We have a long history of excellent customer service and can help find a solution to almost anything.
Negative reviews should really be a last resort and are rarely warranted. We prefer to find solutions so that everyone is happy.
If an item is marked as "delivered" but not received, the next step is to speak with your local post office. It could mean it was misdelivered to an incorrect address or it may be waiting at the post office for you. If you provide the tracking number to a manager at the post office they can explore.
If you do not have success with this, you can open up a case with Etsy for an item not received. Often times Etsy may directly compensate the buyer in these circumstances: help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/5745586898199-How-to-Open-a-Case-?segmen...
We're unfortunately not able to file claims for items marked as "delivered," but we do everything we can to ensure that you will either be refunded or receive your item. So please keep us updated.
