Empathic Warrior crystals aka Empathic crystals.

basically this is a crystal which has been damaged through it's existance. or as it's been in some sort of battle. Its points or sides have been damaged and sometimes it exhibits a rainbow hue in it.

this stone can balance the male/female energies in someone. Also a good stone for someone who's been through some sort of abuse, addictions or depressions. It helps release built up emotions.

It can help with you when being overwhelmed with someone else's problems. As well as tempering feelings of loss, grief,pain and fear.

this form of broken crystal/stone/mineral, for most, has to show some form of recrystalization/healing to fall into this grouping. The concept is that it broke and either healed or started the healing process or continued to grow thus giving it the fighting/empathic properties.. as well as healing properties.

If one were to take into account any crystal/stone/mineral which is broken but not healed or with no after growth in any way almost every specimen available would fall into this classification with the exception being floaters.

A broken crystal/stone with no sign of healing or later growth does not or did not have the opportunity to develop these empathic/fighting properties as it is the healing process itself with develops these energies.

Originally there were 3 classes for these...

1) Healers: Selfhealed crystals/stones/minerals which fractured or broke completely at some point in their growth and then either ompletely or partially rehealed.

Master Healer: this crystal was completely broken and then healed itself. Healed crystals can also be crystals which broke off then recrytalized on the bottom and also fractured crystals which didnt break all the way through and then rehealed. The second pic here shows a crystal where the base has recrystalized making it a healer

2) Warriors: Crystals/stones/minerals which at some point recieved damage but continued to grow.Just a brief clarification on the warrior. It's any crystal which has a ding, bang, chip, break on/in it which was caused naturally and not during man's extraction process and which shows signs of growt after the damage. The easiest sign of growth after is if it was still attached to matrix when found before extraction. I think thats the simplest way to put it.

Just to clarify as this can get complicated for some A healer is a crystal which healed where the damage took place and continued to grow... a warrior is a crystal who continued to grow but didnt heal the damage.

The most common way for any mineral to recieve natural damage is through sciesmic activities.. either earth quakes or volcanic. Lightning strikes are another way but these are rare and even rarer to identify as not all lightning strikes leave the telltale signs which are associated with them. Earth impacts are also another kind which throughout history were a lot more common and caused a lot more damage than most realize. There are many warrior stones out there which were created by impacts which scientifically are referred to as "impact breccia". These are by far the most powerful of all warrior stones.....


3) Empath: Crystals stones/minerals which have a contact area somewhere where the piece has contacted another mass which impeded its growth or where the 2 pieces grew together. When seperated the contact area became visable. It's this contact with another object which gives the formation its name as an empath. an empath technically never recieves damage but shows contact points where it grew up against another mineral or grew into another mineral or became attached to another mineral after it started growing. this is not classified as damage and it is the way in which empaths develop their energies.. by growing in contact with another crystal or mineral.


These days quite a few people interchange the names, combine the names or use one name to stand for all three meanings. Healers for the most part still stand alone but once in a while you will see terms such as empahtic healers, empathic warrior, warrior healers... you get the idea.

I try to keep the three formations seperate unless the specimen shows both or all three formations but even in this case I find that when working with specimens with more than one of these formations one really stands out usually making the other 2 all but obsolete.

One last point on this... Although many interchange contact points and damage and in that way feel that warriors and empaths are naturally to be used as either in my opinion this is completely wrong. Damaged crystals which continue to grow develop the warrior characteristics due to the fight to survive the damage they recieved whereas empathic specimens gain their energies due to their contact with other minerals. 2 completely different events which create 2 completely different sets of energies. This is just my point of view however.
