Enhydro is "a hollow nodule or geode of chalcedony containing water, sometimes in large amounts" per the The American Geological Institute’s Glossary of Geological Terms. As such, these crystals are actually not enhydros but more accurately referred to as "quartz with bubble fluid inclusion". However, enhydros is the term that most people call them and recognize so that's what I will go with.These crystals formed millions of years ago (220-400 million years ago by some estimates) as the edges of the quartz formed faster than the center. As this happened, troughs were formed that trapped the water solution or other foreign matter. When these troughs were covered by more crystal growth, the captured water (sometimes salt water or other liquid) would "gas out" or cool and contract and a bubble would form in the liquid .Enhydro crystals contain fluid most often water although some very rare cases plant oil. A bubble of gas moves through the water.Contained within each enhydro crystal is water that has remained unchanged and pure for eons. As such it is alway associated with cleansing and purification, be it emotional, spiritual or mundane. Water is also a great element for dream or meditation work. In cases where the bubbles move in these earth treasures they also teach us to flow easily through our troubles much as the bubbles freely flow in the pockets of water. And they are also very helpful in healing and divination work.
All in the Mind??
If you use crystals to enhance your wealth, well being, for love, to calm your nerves, or health elements such as digestion, manic depression, or if you simply like to hold them while you meditate as I do.
Is it all in the mind, or is it?
