山梨黒平水晶＜山梨県＞ 【日本銘石】

Yamanashi Kurobera Quartz

山梨黒平水晶

山梨百名山のひとつ、黒富士の麓にある黒平で産出される水晶で白味が特徴。
1830年頃京都からきた玉摺弥助(たますりやすけ)が、御岳の御師に水晶の研磨技術を教えたのが山梨の水晶が流通した始まりといわれています。
白水晶は、すべてを浄化し潜在能力を引き出す魔除けの石で災いを断ち運気上昇へ導く、あらゆる力が宿る石、と言われている、いわばパワーストーンの王様です。
黒平産水晶は、希少で現在入手が難しくなっています。

As a stone that can give off negative ion , Towada stone has attracted attention in modern times. It also has good thermal emission rate and it can release far-infrared rays when it is heated. It also absorbs moisture well and the color of the stone changes according to the amount of moisture absorbed. It is easy in processing since it is soft, but it is also durable.
There is a mythology in Akita prefecture which said Taro Hachiro who was a Mataji (hunter), became a dragon and lived in Towada Lake.
Towada which is surrounded by abundant nature, has many other mythologies, like the story of a white rat which is reincarnation of a god. The reason of this happened maybe because there is mysterious energy in this area.
