The basic rule is: You always need a strong wall at your back while looking forward. If your desk or sofa stands freely in the room without a solid wall behind it, the turtle takes on exactly this function – it wards off invisible influences from behind and conveys a secure sense of stability. It is best to place it in the back area of the room, never directly at the entrance, because there it symbolizes the foundation of the house. The direction of view is also important: The turtle should look inward into the room, ideally towards you, never out the window or front door – otherwise it carries prosperity and energy outside. Since a stone turtle particularly strengthens the earth energy, it fits wonderfully in the northeast, southwest, or in the center of the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions about Rock Crystal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhat is rock crystal and why is it so special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eRock crystal is the clear, colorless variety of the mineral quartz (chemically silicon dioxide, SiO2) and, with a Mohs hardness of 7, is one of the more resistant gemstones. It forms over millions of years in cavities in rocks, where silica-containing solutions slowly form clear, six-sided crystals. Because of its clarity and versatility, it is often called the 'master of crystals', as it is energetically considered particularly adaptable. This turtle was carved from a significantly larger raw crystal, which makes the natural structure inside clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I properly care for my rock crystal turtle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eRock crystal can easily withstand a quick rinse with lukewarm water, as its hardness of 7 makes it robust – simply let it air dry afterwards. Direct sunlight does not harm it, unlike many colored stones, it does not fade. Moonlight, a singing bowl, or placing it on a selenite plate is suitable for energizing. For the fine engravings in the shell, a soft, dry cloth is completely sufficient for dusting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhy is the turtle shape so highly valued in Feng Shui?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eThe turtle has been considered one of the four heavenly animals for centuries and combines protection with consistency in its symbolism – two themes that rock crystal also energetically enhances.
