Hi Vishwas, that particular crystal is a merlin, it is  2.7 kg and 26cm in height, with a 24cm circumference, so its rather a biggy and hard to work with.

If you were thinking of trying to get a merlin crystal then I would suggest that it might be better to start with a clear quartz crystal, preferably natural unpolished, uncut, and one that fits in the palm of your hand so that you can easily carry it around without getting arm strain lol. I guess it really depends on why you would want the crystal as to what kind to get? I always prefer people to choose intuitively, from their instinct and not from reading the properties of a stone. Sometimes our ego can choose for us and it may not tbe the right crystal or the right time. Now, thats not to say that a merlin generator isn't for you, they can be a wonderful tool of progression. Perhaps search 'generator' crystals and see what you feel about them. A generator is one with the 6 faces, grr its hard to get good pics, I'm a lousy photographer lol.  You most probably will find the perfect generator crystal for you in a local shop or store and it will probably not be labelled asuch. Many bargains are to be had

These are all 'merlin' crystals so you can see the variety around

Hi Gem. Thanks for the images and the info.

Wow Gem,
Mine looks just like that biger one in that pic.. but smoother, not bumpy like on the pic.. but wow Almost looks like you used mine... rofl

Thanx Gem, I will try to look for some.

Bumpy!!  Bumpy??? lol, those are tiny baby crystals or barnacles lol, I know I'm a really naff photographer but bumpy, <gg>  such a technical term lol.

Now I have a challenge of mastering this photostuff and making the crystals look as beautiful as they deserve.

<<< wanders off muttering bumpy!!

Lovely to hear about others crystals though, think we probably need a pic of yours now Nicole? What do you use your crystals for?
