This extraordinary Smoky Quartz crystal with Tourmaline and Goethite inclusions is from a new find in the area of Aracuai, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
ABOUT THIS CRYSTAL
At over 14 pounds (6.4 kilograms) -- making it one of the largest crystals we have to offer currently here at HanaqPacha -- this is a positively MASSIVE Smoky Quartz crystal with magnificent luster and a multitude of incredible Tourmaline and Goethite inclusions!
First, we must emphasize the sheer size of this piece, as it is a true GIANT of a Smoky Quartz. It's always a challenge to capture the majesty and power of larger crystals in the photos, and here we've done our best, but it really must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. In Photo 9, you can see a regular sized lighter in the photo to get a frame of reference for how large the crystal is.
Second, the luster on this piece is truly remarkable, as is the richly smoky hue. As you can see, it's a large and chunky "point" formation, and it is richly embedded with an incredible array of dark Green Tourmalines and even some Watermelon Tourmaline as well. On the top side of the piece we can also see a number of black Goethite inclusions, which is a bit of a rare inclusion for Quartz from this locale! These are the black "dots" you see most prominently in Photo 7.
Many of these Green Tourmalines look black at first, but when backlit, their gemmy, vibrant colors come to life (see Photos 5-6). Also, you can see in the video that the entire piece passes light very nicely when backlit, despite its thickness and size!
Then on the underside, we see a whole other world to this piece, with a broad side of gorgeous self-healed textural markings, and to the left of that, another rich field of Green Tourmaline inclusions, this time with white Cleavelandite as well (see Photo 3 and 4). The self-healed area spans a good portion of the crystal right down to its base, where we find another two Watermelon Tourmalines embedded.
The main facet area exhibits some mild etched textures, and while there's a wealth of Green Tourmaline embedded within, which creates some Growth Interference formations that prevent a true "point" termination, the terminated edges of the main facet area are all very nice, with no major chips, breaks or damage. Quite rare for a crystal of this size.
This crystal sits a variety of ways on its own for display, or it would look stunning sitting upright in a stand. Its one of those pieces that we hardly ever come across. This is the ideal piece to anchor a meditation area, yoga studio, ceremony space or living room. Absolutely magnificent!

________________________________
GREEN TOURMALINE
Green Tourmaline purifies and strengthens, allowing one to energetically carry greater amounts of Life Force (Prana Energy). As more energy is carried within the physical body, higher degrees of consciousness can be maintained. It is a wonderful protection stone, deal for sealing holes in the aura that leave one vulnerable to negativity.
It is also a powerful Heart Healer and Heart Chakra crystal, opening the Heart Chakra and allowing healing of the heart to occur. Green Tourmaline's connection with the Earth makes it a great crystal for those who enjoy working with various aspects of nature, especially gardening, making it possible for one to connect with the nature spirits using this crystal.
GOETHITE
Goethite is a very powerful crystal, primarily resonating with the Root Chakra, that is said to attune the physical body with the ethereal (spirit) body. It has powerful grounding, healing, transformative and protective energies, but its most beneficial quality is perhaps its ability to heal grief by diving deep into the wounds buried within the unconscious.
Goethite can be a powerful ally to artists, musicians, creators, etc... It has the ability to stimulate the mind into a stage of awareness where one may be able to face the shadow self and see it in a positive light, leading into integration and higher states of consciousness.
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.

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.
