Vogel Configurations
General Qualities of Precision Cut Crystal Vogels include:
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 vogel 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.

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!
