Quartz is still considered to have healing 'energies' though this would probably fall down under scientific scrutiny. The quartz stone at Boscawen-Un is a beauty, a squat, square block in total contrast to the central gnomen stone. A male/female pairing if ever there was one, I'm pretty sure the quartz stone here is the one Julian Cope mentions one of his daughters going straight to in TMA (sorry, can't be bothered to check!). :-) It starts the Cornwall section in TMA on page 156, referred to as Boskawen-Un. Julian Cope vividly describes the difficulties he experiences standing on a stepladder to photograph the whole site as a strong wind picked up: "I was quick and thanked the elements for their co-operation. Before I arrived I was upset and tired. Now I am warm and happy and Dorian has just arrived. She went very naturally to the only quartz pillar of the nineteen granite stones still upright in the circle" It was good to get my copy of TMA down ... mine is still quite pristine, I intend to scruffy it up a bit by actually using it. Thanks for the prompt. Reply | with quote |  3rd September 2009ce 00:00 In reply to: Re: Is it a white cow when you're not looking? (thesweetcheat) |
