Lightning Strike Laser Quartz with Rainbow and Double Termination, 443g, New Find, Amplify Prana and Chi, Diamantina, Brazil X840
$300.00
Here we have a very special Lightning Strike Quartz from Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil. These incredibly rare and powerful crystals bear distinctive marks (typically a zig-zag pattern that runs the length of the crystal) that indicate the quartz was struck by lightning while still underground in the Earth.
These crystals have a palpable "electric" energy (personally, my heart races when I handle them) and are prized by healers for their unique qualities, as they have an enhanced ability to receive, amplify and transmit "prana" or "chi" energy, also known as our Universal Life Force.
ABOUT THIS CRYSTAL
One of the absolute best of the best! This is one of the largest and most beautiful Lighting Strike Quartz crystals we currently have to offer!
The first thing we notice about this crystal is its size, which is quite substantial, weighing just under half a kilogram (around 1 pound) and quite wide in its formation. Right away we also pick up on its stunning clarity and brilliant luster. The crystal features some very mild textural etchings on its sides that are characteristic of Laser Quartz from this region.
However what is most special about this piece are the very prominent Lightning Strike markings, of which there are several that are quite deep and beautiful! They are the classic "zig zag" jagged patterning that we love to see in these pieces and can easily be seen on the back and left side near the base. We have indicated these with small stickers (easily removable) and as you can see, they originate on the bottom left side with one traveling straight up and the other winding around the back side (see Photos 1, 3-7).
This piece also features a pretty rainbow inclusion that can be seen at the right light and angle (see Photo 1). And if that weren't enough, this piece is BEAUTIFULLY Double Terminated with the prettiest self-healed base termination in an Elestial patterning (see Photos 8-9).
There's a minor chip to the body around the midsection, but as it is rather smooth to the touch we believe this occurred long ago while still within the Earth. The main facet features a mild chip which we believe is an additional errant Lighting Strike marking on the left side of the face that travels up the left edge, mildly abutting the termination, but the termination is otherwise intact and excellent.
A powerful and aesthetically beautiful piece, one of our favorite Lightning Strikes right now!
MEASUREMENTS:
Approx 4.5" T x 2.5" W x 1.25" D

FORMATION
The energy of Double Terminated crystals flows in both directions at once, and can draw or transmit energy through both ends. These doubly powerful crystals are very useful in healing because they can move energy in two directions at the same time and can act as a bridge between two energy points. They’re useful in unblocking negative energy and are an excellent all around balancing tool.
Rainbow crystals bring joy into ones life and are very special gifts. These crystals are natural promoters of happiness, hope, optimism, peace, courage, creativity and awakens us to the beauty in Nature. They help us to deal with negativity and to maintain the constant awareness that love is in our life at all times.
________________________________
LIGHTNING STRIKE QUARTZ
These incredibly rare and powerful crystals are only found in Brazil, in either the Diamantina Plateau in Bahia or in the Minas Gerais region, where there are high elevations and increased thunderstorm and lightning activity. They bear distinctive marks (typically a zig-zag pattern that runs the length of the crystal) that indicate the quartz was struck by lightning while still underground in the Earth. Some strikes that hit the crystal pocket will cause complete obliteration of the crystals within, others will cause breakage at the terminations as the lightning energy leaves the crystals, and some will leave behind this distinctive marking of the lightning's path as it travels completely through the crystal.
These crystals are prized by healers for their unique qualities, as they have an enhanced ability to receive, amplify and transmit "prana" or "chi" energy, also known as our Universal Life Force. Because of this, lightning struck crystals are ideal to help balance the energies of individuals who suffer from "stagnant chi" or low energy, as they elevate the frequency of one's energy field, increasing the flow in the body, mind and aura.
The energy in these crystals is also known to be both very grounding and very cosmic at the same time, much like the nature of lightning itself. Because of this, these crystals can be useful in chakra alignment, connecting all chakras from the Crown to the Root. And perhaps most of all, just as the nature of lightning is jolting, powerful and sudden, the energy of these crystals can be useful in breaking old patterns and crystalizing new intentions and visions we have for our lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I be sure the kuripe I ordered will fit?
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!
I saw your Kuripe listings on another marketplace (Ali Baba, etc) with the same photos from your shop listings. The prices were really cheap! Do you sell there as well?
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!
Can I return or exchange my item?
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.
Are your indigenous items "Fair Trade"?
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.
I provided an incorrect address for my order, what do I do?
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.
Any pro tips for a smooth transaction?
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 ;)
I live in the Los Angeles area, do you offer local pickup?
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).
Any tips for international buyers?
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!
I received my order and there's a problem, what should I do?
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.
When I track my order it says it was delivered, but I haven't received it, what do I do?!
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.
