CRYSTAL
Crystallized rock, quartz and gemstones are the highest forms of the mineral kingdom. If you accept the fact that the earth is alive, as the entire manifest universe is alive, then crystals, although not biodes, are centers of mineral "intelligence", deriving from elemental proto-evolution. It is through crystal that messages are broadcast via the air-waves and as earth is the amalgamating force, crystallization precedes formation of the most primitive amino acids of life. Thus, for the adept, crystals are avenues of cosmic information, quantum change and negentropy.
