{"product_id":"intergalactic-library","title":"Intergalactic library","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNamed after my sister's dream, this is a hefty double-terminated smoky Starbrary quartz, paired with a sterling silver chain and a Celtic Bronze Age hoop. It's so heavy the scales can't properly weigh it — yet it remains surprisingly wearable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis naturally glyph-etched Starbrary smoky quartz is double-terminated and truly beautiful, ethically sourced from an artisanal (small-scale) miner in Colombia. What makes these crystals especially unusual is that they were found loose in sand rather than attached to clusters. This piece has spent time on my altar and will be carefully cleansed before being sent to its new home. I offer only a small number of crystals at any one time, each thoughtfully selected for its exceptional quality. Rich with striations and grooves on all sides, this Starbrary smoky quartz is a powerful tool for energy work — used in meditation, healing sessions, or protective spell work. It is believed to support an understanding of polarities while opening the chakras and keeping you grounded, so you don't drift too far into the ether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Celtic Bronze Age hoop dates from around 800–500 BC and was once used as a form of ancient currency. This particular piece was discovered in the Midlands and comes from a Staffordshire collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCosmic libraries encoded in stone — glyphs, etchings, and geometric markings are thought to be a form of language carried from star systems beyond our own. Different patterns are said to correspond to different constellations — Pleiades, Sirius, Orion, Lyra, Andromeda — each carrying its own distinct energetic signature and quality of knowledge. Practitioners hold and meditate or gaze into the crystal with the intention of receiving what is stored within: visions, deep insight, or simply that rare and humbling sense of vast cosmic perspective. I always get slightly lost in their world - magickal time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smith \u0026 Sun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56639152128380,"sku":null,"price":333.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/5645\/0375\/files\/DSC3155.jpg?v=1776275402","url":"https:\/\/www.smithandsun.co.uk\/products\/intergalactic-library","provider":"Smith \u0026 Sun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
