Background
A description of the experience
Lawlor (1991)
Throughout Australia one of the most consistent themes in Aboriginal initiation is the insertion into the body of quartz crystals. This procedure symbolizes the transformation of consciousness from physical to psychic levels. The Aborigines seek quartz crystals with internal fractures that produce vivid rainbow light refractions. These fractures signal that the stone resonates powerfully with the primordial energies of the Rainbow Serpent.
