The Crystal Library: Rutilated Quartz | Lunar New Year & the Year of the Fire Horse

Happy Lunar New Year and welcome back to The Crystal Library.
This episode airs on February 17, the first day of the Lunar New Year—a powerful energetic threshold where one cycle closes and another begins.

Today, Ashleigh explores Rutilated Quartz, a crystal threaded with light and direction, and why it is the perfect ally as we transition out of the Year of the Snake and into the bold, fast-moving Year of the Fire Horse.

🔮 In This Episode:

• What the Lunar New Year represents and why it’s a true energetic reset
• Leaving the introspective, shadow-focused Year of the Snake
• Entering the Year of the Fire Horse: movement, courage, visibility, and momentum
• The science of Rutilated Quartz and its golden rutile inclusions
• Historical lore, symbolism, and spiritual meaning of this crystal
• How Rutilated Quartz supports breakthrough healing, creativity, and manifestation
• Why this stone helps channel Fire Horse energy without burnout
• Psychic protection, emotional release, and support for healers and space-holders
• How to work with Rutilated Quartz for intention setting and aligned action

Drawing from Crystal Basics and The Crystal Bible, this episode weaves together crystal wisdom, Lunar New Year traditions, and practical ways to move forward with clarity and purpose.
