Skeletal
Skeletal crystals (usually the quartz family) occur when the growth of the crystal is affected by changes in the temperature or pressure that speeds the growth from the faces / edges, but does not allow enough time for the whole crystalline matrix to be completed. This leaves layers of trapped liquids or gasses to be held within the crystalline layers that have built up around the foundation of the matrix, and which can look quite amazing. (A bit like layers of thin ice that form over puddles of water in the winter!) Skeletal crystals are also categorised as elestials, but have a special energy that is much less defined than the usual elestial, seeming somehow less structured or complete. This actually makes the energy much less confined and more free-flowing, although the flow may appear to be more random and less easily directed. Accordingly this is an excellent crystal for true and free exploration, where structure and discipline might be a hindrance, rather than a help. Additionally any enhydros (trapped water / liquids) can be powerful at assisting deep emotional release and rebalancing.
