Extraction Vogels for Shamanic Healing Traditions
These flawless precision cut crystal tools are designed for extraction healing processes. Most commonly, extraction vogels have double terminated ends, either 8 faceted sides or 13 faceted sides, and are made from high quality piezoelectric lab-grown quartz. This laboratory quartz has been developed in a controlled environment and is like a blank slate ready for you to program.
We also offer custom natural, near flawless quartz vogels. Natural quartz contains millions of years of geologic history. Only when we custom cut a natural crystal, will we link the energy of the crystal to the individual we are cutting for and imprint their personal intentions. Additionally we offer alternate configurations not limited to this list below.

Welcoming Ritual:
When you receive the crystal – find some quiet time to be with it, 10 – 15 min at least. Sit with it, hold it, caress it, warm the crystal up with your hands. As it warms, you are beginning to blend your energy with the crystal. Then, hold the crystal at different chakra centers and check in with your body to see how that feels. Do you see any colors or energy patterns, feel energy patterns, do you hear tones or frequencies of sound… tastes? Use this ritual to activate your intuitive senses.
Then hold the crystal either on your 4th, 5th or 6th chakra. Center it and feel into it. Say hello to the crystal in your own way and then welcome it. You can speak out loud or telepathically to it. Conjure pictures and visions of ways you would like to use the crystal and project that into the crystal. Introduce yourself, tell it who you are, and what you would like to do with it.
Co-Creating:
Next ask the crystal who/what it is. Be receptive to any information, visions, words that come to you. Tell the crystal you appreciate its’ journey to you and that with respect and care you will honor it, and work together to bring more healing, awareness, truth and beauty into the world. Keep the crystal in a place of respect: an alter, box, or special compartment. There may be other stones or power objects that will keep the energy aligned.
Crystals respond to our intentions, so be mindful around the crystal and handle it with gratitude and respect. Keep in check any negative ego/thoughts around the crystal and just let them go. Feel free to pick the crystal up at times and just commune with it like a friend. Allow your subconscious and unseen friends to work with you to discover ways you can use the crystal. This process may surprise you. Thank you for your continuing commitment to the greatest good for all beings!
Energetic Cleaning of Crystals:
Crystals can pick up energetic information from the environment. When it is tuned to a specific function, like healings or extractions, they will most certainly pick up energies that should be cleared. Two primary ingredients to clearing are:
1) Your Intention, and
2) One or more Elemental Force (Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Ether/Spirit)
With a meditative or ritualistic resonance, this process clears any other programs, focusing with a single awareness to clear the crystal. This process helps to connect your crystal with your subconscious, unconscious, or with any unseen assistance. Bring in an element such as earth. You can bury the crystal, place it on an alter in sand, or right on the grass, near a plant, whatever feels right or comes up for you through your subconscious communication/intuition. Say whatever words or phrases come to mind, sing or play music… be creative and open to discovery. If you use fire or water, do not allow the crystal to be exposed to a quick and sudden temperature change of cold or hot. It may crack the crystal. Consult the crystal and utilize your intuitive resources first.
Configurations
General Qualities of these precision faceted crystal vogels include the aspects listed below:
4 – FOUR
The four-sided crystal is great for treatment of the body and highly stabilizing on the physical plane. It is a good tool for maintaining form, stability, and for keeping alive a particular thought-form. If someone was using this crystal to amplify the thought of a specific mantra or visualization, this could help amplify the thought-form and keep it intact for a period of time. The four sides represent the four dimensions of physical reality, so this tool helps to harmonizing and manifest intentions on the physical plane.
6 – SIX
The six-sided crystal represents the Merkaba or the two opposing energy tetrahedrons that envelop all living beings. This crystal creates a dynamic stability between the two spinning tetrahedrons. This can be useful for astral travel for example, or for receiving information from unseen guides. The six-sided crystals have the ability to nuance a reflection of subtle energy or work more closely with that which is unseen. The six sides also represent the sixth dimension, where the emotional body resides and resonates.
8 – EIGHT
The eight-sided crystal represents transcendence, or stepping into the infinite. It has the ability to create an expanded consciousness, and to move beyond the mind into non-linear reality. This is purposeful for soul development as well as clearing away the illusions or delusions of mind. The number 8 is a higher octave of 4, which represents physical stability and Earth Energy. This crystal is also useful for treating deep shock and severe trauma.
9 – NINE
A nine-sided crystal represents the power of 3 multiplied by 3, the first trine. 9 establishes the awareness of our existence in multi-dimensional fields, allowing for lucid perception while maintaining grounded awareness in the moment. This is especially useful when gathering information from the akashic records or other sources of knowing. This vogel is also helpful for releasing thought-forms, patterns, agreements, or disturbing elements from a physical body or from the body’s energy field.
11 – ELEVEN
The eleven-sided crystal represents balance between dualities, balance in relationships, balanced emotion, thought and spirit. As one and one together, eleven is the synergy in relationship: between masculine and feminine, between sun and moon, and between Heaven and Earth. The number 11 also represents access to parallel dimensions. This vogel is useful for resolving paradoxes in one’s life, helping to clear internal and external conflicts, contractions of thoughts and feelings, and thereby opening doorways to resolution.
12 – TWELVE
A twelve-sided crystal represents the natural logarithmic scale found in nature. 12 is a higher octave of 6, which represents the causal plane. Practitioners use this tool to work with nature, living systems, and the collective consciousness. Merging with the energy of this tool is helpful for mastering astral travel and lucid dreaming.
13 – THIRTEEN
A thirteen-sided crystal represents transformation. 13 is a prime number or singularity. Marcel Vogel called this tool a master or key crystal. The thirteen-sided crystal facilitates the Creator within oneself. It has the ability to access the blueprint or template level realities. This crystal is a powerful tool for manifesting your intentions, visions, or dreams into reality. Energy practitioners consider the thirteen-sided crystal an essential tool for the magician or healer.
23 – TWENTY-THREE
The twenty-three-sided crystal represents the number of pairs of human chromosomes. The number 23 is also closely associated with the star system Sirius, representing both the history and spiritual destiny of humanity. This crystal has the ability to create a pattern that replicates itself, exponentially. It has the ability to reflect our greatest individual and collective potential.
24 – TWENTY-FOUR
The twenty-four-sided crystal is a more extensive or powerful version of the four, six, and eight sided crystals. It contains the harmonics and qualities of all these crystals.
33 – THIRTY-THREE
The thirty-three sided crystal is particularly adept at structuring water. 33 is a combination of two master numbers, 11 and 22. Master Number 33 signifies altruism and spirituality. This number is concerned with doing good in the world, helping all beings, and providing saintly service.
Crystals with even more facets than thirty-three are sometimes used when special needs arise and the practitioner feels that a specific number of facets will aid that work.
PRANIC HEALING TOOL
Pranic Healing tools are designed to channel healing life force energy. The rounded bottom allows you to place the back of the crystal directly on the body, stimulating the energy meridians. The 24k gold plated, nickel-iron meteorite rod embedded in the crystal combines the resilience of these metals with the amplification of natural quartz. Together these elements expand the bandwidth of your healing intentions. The Pranic tool comes in 13, 18, or 33 sides (others by request) and can be made with or without the 24K gold-plated meteorite rod.
Specialty Cuts
The following specialty shapes have been designed and cut by Drew Tousley:
THE ANGEL II
One of the most stunning cut patterns, more wide than it is tall. The additional facets give it a reflective elegance and a softer feel in the hand. There are 4 facets at each double terminated tip and 16 side facets: 4 large opposing primary with 4 opposing secondary and 8 small transitional facets. This creates an almost elliptical cross-section. This Angel crystal reflects the beauty of the angelic realm, truly a sacred temple piece.
THE FORESEER
An esthetically pleasing and elegant version of the 4-sided crystal. There are 4 primary facets at each double terminated tip and 8 side facets: 4 large opposing primary and 4 small transitional facets. These small transitional facets bend into the tip, shaped like a flame. This Foreseer crystal has aspects of both the 4 and 8 crystals which allows it to stabilize, balance, and harmonize, as well as transcend time and physical reality.
THE MAGICIAN
An elegant version of the 3-sided crystal. There are 3 primary facets at each double terminated tip and 6 side facets: 3 large opposing primary and 3 small transitional facets which bend into the tip, shaped like a flame. This is a wonderful, wand-like piece, which takes its name from the second card of the Tarot. When looked into from the end there is an “infinity” shape formed by the curved facets meeting at the tip. This is useful for both healing & meditation, as well as prayer & manifesting. It fits nicely in the hand and can be laid easily on the body for energy work.
THE VISION QUEST
Another unique version of the 3-sided crystal. This design has 3 major facets flanked by 6 minor facets creating a bright and fiery crystal which is also distinctively elegant in nature. The double terminated tips also have three major facets and six minor facets. Simply gorgeous!
