Paper weight made of clear quartz crystal

[moon88]

Dear cecil,
I read somewhere that the mountain star should be activated only with the round ball
made up of clear quartz crystals and that it should be kept on a small metal stand. Is this true. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
1. In my opinion, there are far too many variations of what a mountain star looks like.
2. Therefore, as there are many human beings on earth, there are many Feng Shui practitioners with their own ideas of what the mountain star is.
3. Those who, perhaps sell crystals or used them before, would say that mountain star must be made of crystal etc...
3. While others sell `smooth' or beauty rocks would say that theirs is a mountain star.
4. Thus, it is always unproductive to argue over the shape and form of what a mountain star should be.
5. To this day, no one can claim that his or her mountain star is the only one that works.
If so, surely there must be a book written that says clearly by an author. And then, all the controversies start to follow.
If someone claim that the 3 legged toad is the only mountain star to use. (Assuming that it can be a mountain star). Who ever markets the idea and copyrights it will gain tremendously.
6. In general, the main consensus is that, it has to:
6.1. Has mass (avoid being hollow)
6.2. Not on wheels or rollers that can be moved i.e. it should be stable and e.g. a flat base where possible.
Thus ideally, a solid paper weight can be used.
7. One interesting point here is that today, the reason why there is `no clue' as to what it looks like is because, in the past, it has not been `activated' with small objects.
8. A real mountain star is really a hill or a landscape that offers a solid protection.
Thus, activating the mountain star is in truth, activated once, the profile e.g. of a mountain is there.
9. It is like activating the water star. Water reminds us that the land is flat. So with or without water, does not matter because, what the END RESULT is to achieve clear space.
10. Based on what I mentioned above, some I believe, some practitioners may or may not agree and it may open to controversy.
Therefore, what I want to mentioned is based on the logic behind how, we seldom ever come across standard definitions or have really seen, a traditional piece of object that can be associated with the `mountain star'. Here, since, nobody can fully describe or explain it.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
