Rare, naturally occurring Quartz Crystal specimens from the historic Messina mines in South Africa
The Essence of Messina Quartz or Desirite is, A Bridge Between Worlds & Metamorphosis
Often affectionately referred to as Desirite, Messina Quartz is a remarkable and rare crystal found exclusively in the world-famous Messina (now Musina) area in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. This unique stone is frequently referred to as the “as above, so below” stone, acting as a profound bridge between the physical and the spiritual realms.
A Symphony of Composition
What makes Messina Quartz so visually and energetically distinctive is its internal structure. It is a form of Phantom Quartz that displays beautiful orange, white, green and brown colorations.
The “phantoms” within the crystal are created by a diverse host of minerals, including:
- Iron Oxide
- Epidote
- Hematite
- Bornite
- Magnesium Oxide
- Kaolinite
- Lime and Soda
- Lepidolite
- Titanium
- Chromium Oxide
- Nickel Oxide
- Limonite
- Copper
- Calcite
- Piemontite
Possessing a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, this stone belongs to the hexagonal crystal system.
It uniquely carries the combined energies of both the Storm and Earth elements.
Energetic Properties & The Power of 44
Desirite resonates with the Master Number 44, which is the number of metamorphosis.
This vibration guides transformation on all levels, helping you recognize the intricate interweaving of the divine with the spiritual.
High-Vibration Travel: When well-grounded, this stone accesses incredibly high vibrations, allowing you to traverse successive levels of history—from Lemuria to Egypt.
Healing & Transformation: It is a stone of love, light, and peace, supporting the release of old soul patterns and facilitating cellular memory reframing.
Chakra Alignment: While it harmonizes all chakras and aligns the aura, it is specifically attuned to the solar plexus, third eye, heart, sacral, higher heart, throat, and soma chakras.
How to Work with Your Desirite
Because Desirite is a subtle, high-vibration stone, it is generally recommended that you use it alone rather than placing it within a complex healing layout.
Deep Meditation: Use the phantoms as “lift stops.” By rubbing your thumb upward along the crystal, you can navigate through these layers to reach profound meditative states.
Spiritual Guidance: It is an excellent tool for working with the angelic realm and Ascended Masters, providing a gateway to access past lives throughout the planet’s history.
Post-Healing Care: It is highly effective for aligning and rebalancing your energy immediately following a healing session.
The Stone of “New Love”
Beyond its technical specifications, many find that Desirite carries the essence of a “new love” – the specific frequency of love needed in the world today.
It encourages speaking with love and peace, helps dissolve resistance toward being grounded on Earth, and supports actions that promote the well-being of society.
“As Above, So Below Stone”
The Legendary authour of Crystal books, Judy Hall, named Messina Quatz Crystals as the “As Above, so Below” Crystals.
It Physically and Spiritually Reflects Dual Realities
The phrase “As Above, So Below” means that what happens on a spiritual or cosmic level (the “Above”) is mirrored here on the physical, earthly level (the “Below”).
Desirite is unique because it is a specific type of quartz containing distinct, contrasting phantoms created by a variety of rare and interesting Mineral inclusions that present in an array of splendid colours from vibrant Sky Blues and Greens, to earthy oranges and browns.
- The Blues and Greens represents the celestial, cosmic, and higher spiritual realms (the “above”).
The Oranges and Browns represents the grounded, physical, and earthly realms (the “below”).
Because these two distinct color worlds perfectly coexist inside a single clear quartz crystal, it is viewed as a physical manifestation of that cosmic law.
Chakra Alignment and Cosmic Anchor Meditation
Because Desirite is classified as a multi-dimensional high-vibration quartz, Judy Hall’s recommended practice when working with Desirite, is a Chakra Alignment and Cosmic Anchor Meditation.
This practice directly leverages the “As Above, So Below” concept by using the crystal to link your upper Cosmic Chakras with your lower Earthly Chakras.
The “As Above, So Below” Alignment Practice
1. Ground your physical base: 5 minutes.
A quick pointer: Because Desirite is widely known in crystal lore to support clairaudience (spiritual hearing), practitioners often hold the stone near the ear or the throat/third eye junction during the middle stages of this meditation to open themselves up to receiving subtle psychic insights or inner guidance.
