Crystals
covered or partially covered with smaller crystals.
I have seen these smaller crystals called "babies" on other websites'
descriptions, but I see babies usually as one or two larger crystals
standing at the feet of a crystal with
a parental energy. The larger crystal is the "Old Soul" and
contains the wisdom and trust which attracts the smaller crystals.
Used in meditation to provide insights to family and/or community
problems. Also excellent for those employed in "service organizations"
to help stimulate a group cohesiveness and willingness to work
together.*

"BRIDGE"
(view)
also called "INNER CHILD"
A large crystal with a smaller
crystal(s) which penetrates and is located partially in, and partially
out of the larger crystal. It facilitates bridging between the inner
and outer worlds, between the self and others, and the self and other
worlds. It is beneficial when working with the aspects of spirituality,
the advanced metaphysical areas, and attempting to share this knowledge
with others.* Bridge crystals are also called "Inner Child"
crystals. The inner Child crystals I
see as much smaller and penetrating more "in" than "out" and have
a feeling of going "within", not so much as bridging inner to outer. They can help you heal and get in touch with
your inner child (bridges the gap between your outer self and your
inner self) click here to order BRIDGE

Recognized by a large seven sided
face located in the center front position of the terminated end of the
crystal; a triangular face is located on the opposite (back) side of
the crystal. It provides for a conscious connection to the higher
wisdom which is available from the higher self and/or to the wisdom of
experience and enlightenment which is available from the "other side".
These crystals have a crisp, regal energy to me. Channeling crystals can be used to bring forth
light and love from the most truthful and knowledgeable portions of the
self.* click here to order
CHANNELING quartz crystal $10.00
"CHLORITE"
(view)
Chlorite is one of the most
favorable healing stones. Worn, carried or placed in ones
environment, the properties of chlorite are overwhelmingly
positive. It brings the energy to enhance cooperation and
stimulates ones personal affinity with "All". It is a purifier
and is quite useful for cleansing the aura, the chakras, and the energy
meridians.* (CHLORITE CRYSTALS sold out)

Crystals in which one crystal is in
the process of consuming (engulfing) another. This mineral is a
"stone for metamorphosis and progression". It can help one to
flow with constant regulation through the many fluctuations necessary
in the physical world.* (no CONSUMMATION
CRYSTALS available at this time)
"CURVED" (view)
Crystals which have a curved shape
or which the sides are curved. Produced during the developmental
stages, this is a rare occurrence. Sometimes the
sides are curved, sometimes the whole crystal looks bent.
Sometimes they are self healed into a curve or bent fashion. They emanate a gentle yet powerful energy
and can be used to cleanse the aura, promote flexibility in ones
attitude, and provide strength in decisions, among other things.
It allows one to see the inner workings of any situation and to
understand the superficial and deeper meanings inherent in same.* click here to order CURVED

"DOUBLE
TERMINATED"
(view)return
to
top
Crystal that is naturally faceted on
both ends (terminals). These crystals don’t grow on a matrix like other
crystals do. They form free-floating in clay pockets, that’s why
they have
two terminations. They promote psychic ability and dream recall;
to balance the body, mind and spirit. The energy in these
crystals tends to flow in two directions because they have
two points, one on each end. click here to order

"DOW
or
TRANS-CHANNELER"(view)
Recognized by 3 seven sided faces
separated on each side by a triangular face. They combine the
qualities of the transmitter and channeler crystal. It is the
crystal for creativity and service to humanity through both spiritual
and mystical pursuits. Provides for a continuous connective force
between
the holder of the crystal and "All That Is".
Melody calls the 7-3-7-3-7-3
configuration TRANS-CHANNELER. I had always heard it called Dow
at the crystal mine but never knew where the name came from, and
mistakenly thought it might have been a reference to Tao. My
friend Tess wrote with this excellent information and gave me
permission to quote her here... thanks a MILLION, Tess! DOW:
"The Dow channeling crystal is
actually named after Janeann Dow. One of the early channelers and
friend of Katrina Rafaell, one of the first and foremost authors of
definitive crystal books, Jane was around when all this started
and was one of the first channelers for the Archangels, Michael, St.
Germain, and a group who refer to themselves as the watchers.
I [Tess] had the honor of being
in her meditation circle when it met in Southern California before she
relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico around '86-'87. I lost track of
her at that time. Jane would sit in front of a very large, huge
actually, 7-3-7-3-7-3 crystal and channel for about an hour with a tape
recorder on then transcribe her notes later. So Dow is not a
misreference to Tao, never
was. You can verify this in Katrina's book." Inquiring about availability of DOW

"DRUSY
(pronounced 'DREW-zee') "
Very small points which are
described as "a myriad of very closely set tiny crystals". The
Drusy Clusters consist of tiny crystal points in their very formation,
and are encrusted on either sandstone or quartz based matrixes. I like
to think of drusy crystals for people who want to encourage ideas or
thought forms ready to spring forth and grow.
"SUGAR DRUSY" I [Genn] MADE THIS TERM UP. please don't
think this is a mineralogical term, I made it up as a visual
description to describe the sparkily drusy type encrustation
on the overcoat quartz crystals.

"EMPATHIC"(view)
Empathic crystals are ones which are
chipped or damaged in some way. They promote understanding,
compassion, kindness and empathy. They open and heal the hearts
of those who have closed them while also protecting the open-hearted
from too much pain. I find their energy very pleasant and
reassuring. click here to order EMPATHIC

"ETCHED"(view)
Etched crystals can be recognized by
the existence of abrasions located on the outer areas of the crystal
which appear to be a type of heiroglyphics . They are usually a
meditation point, with the markings held against the third eye.
EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL CRYSTAL
A crystal with a single termination
at one end and multiple terminations at the other end. It is
believed this crystal will help channel space beings, celestial beings
and guardian angels.
(I haven't seen this description in
a book and I always wondered what they were. Credit goes to
Stuart of Sweet Surrender Mine for this description. Thanks,

"FADEN"(view)return

A crystal in which the inclusion of
one or more white thread-like fibrous formations occurs. The Faden is
visible within the quartz structure because it is surrounded by either
a fluid
filled or gaseous chamber. The fiber is located usually at or in
proximity to the center of the crystal, perpendicular to the
termination of the crystal and may be linear and undeviating or
curved/bent. It is a crystal of connection, stimulating
and furthering connective forces between the self and that which is
chosen as the recipient. It is also a stone for astral travel.* click here to order FADEN

communication with the spirits in nature; to open our hearts to the
beauty and magic of nature; to encourage us to care for Mother Earth. click here to order quartz
crystal with FAIRY FROST $5.00
"FEMININE
CRYSTALS"(view)
Crystals that are more cloudy
(contain more Devic "fairy frost") and are sometimes opaque or milky in
appearance. Those who have difficulty relating to their feminine nature
should use a feminine crystal in their daily routine. Whenever
a person is suffering from an over-abundance of energetic forces or
activities, using a feminine crystal can help to reduce the
tension. Since we all possess masculine and feminine traits, it
is best to have both in a crystal collection. However, if we have
trouble balancing our two sides within, it might be helpful to own a
crystal that allies with the side of ourselves that we have the most
trouble coming to terms with. click here to order

"GAS PHANTOM" (view)
I
wasn't able to find anything in a book about these, but as for the look
of them... the faces have a sort of gassous-tree-like looking spray
going like spreading fingers from bottom to top (base of triangle to
tip). My friend, Jay, who is a crystal mine owner, said that
they are supposed to have every other face with the marking, one
with the spray, one clear, one spray, one clear, etc...
They tend to have heavy etching on the faces. This is the
technical description Jay was able to give me, "...gas is present when
the quartz is forming. The gas exploding during formation causes
the gas patterns on the faces." Whatever the technical part, I
think they are really cool looking.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THE GAS
PHANTOMS
For those of you familiar with these great crystals, I have some new
info... I was recently informed that the gas sprays aren't
actually titanium as I was told when I was first introduced to them.
Aparently titanium turns to gas at 5000+ degrees and crystal
MELTS at 3000+ degrees... so scientifically, the sprays can't possibly
be caused by titanium gas.
HOWEVER... that having been said... they still have the same unique
energy and feel, and I contend that they have just been given the wrong
name, on a scientific basis... I will be referring to them as GAS
PHANTOMS from here on out, simply omitting the Titanium.
Whether or not the phantoms and sprays are caused by an actual gas, or
a fluid that appears to be a gas, I don't have the slightest idea.
I just know they have a great energy, look and feel.
"GAS PHANTOM" I finally
got the name of the person who wrote this excellent information...
(BTW, I thank all of you who wrote to tell me)... Her name is Kyanne,
and here is what she had to say: "of course you may
use the descriptions I have written, or rather the crystals have given
me to write. I am trying to compile the many works from our crystal
friends into one place so they can be shared and others will be able to
try those methods of accessing them. I think it is important to get
their messages out there, so thank you for offering to share in that
work...." Thanks, Kyanne, for letting
us share in the
information, I really appreciate it! So, without further ado,
here's the info on the Gas Phantoms, Accessed by Kyanne, which was
preceeded by info on Sacred Sigils:
"The ... [gas??] gives the Quartz a wonderful soft Silky
feel and a foggy appearance on every other side of the crystal and
usually on the tips or edges of the faces. The ... [gas] crystals
Emanate and express the entire spectrum of light vibrations. They
attune
their keeper to this universal Spectrum frequency. This allows him/her
to radiate and express the entire spectrum of light rays to everyone
the keeper comes in contact with. These incredible [gas] Crystals are
here as our Ancient Teachers, It is believed that
these crystals were formed through thought projection by the Star
beings that taught our Ancient Ancestors. They are here to prepare
humans for the leap in Vibratory Evolution that is set to occur on our
planet very soon. Many People are hearing the call to accelerate
their learning and help others to reach their highest good. Many
Healers
are being attracted to this mineral, as it aligns them with the highest
frequency of the universe and prepares them for the evolutionary leap,
teaching them new/ancient healing techniques, so that they may in turn
help others recall the state of perfection that was meant for
humans to exist within. These crystals are going out to the serious
lightworkers on our planet.
The Amazing "Gas Phantoms" are recognized by the smooth wisp inside the
crystal and under the faces, unlike veils, they are not bits and pieces
of white inclusions, these appear more like smooth smoke inside the
crystal. The ... Gas Phantoms are remarkable energy emitting inclusions
that surrounds and fills the keepers auric energy field with brilliant
White Light particles. These particles purify and strengthen the energy
of the user, immediately activating, balancing and cleansing all the
energy wheels (chakras) within the body. The
Energy the keeper is able to transmit/transfer to another person
or object is intensely amplified. This is perfect for healers and
energy workers, and replenishes their own energy supply as they
draw and send energy through their bodies.
"GOLDEN
HEALER"(view)
A quartz crystal which is partially
or totally covered
with a transparent golden-yellow mineral. The coating
ranges from iridescent yellow to rusty dark orange, total
coverage to skippy, partial coverage.

A quartz crystal configured such
that the structural interference of another mineral is quite obvious
during the growth of the quartz. Allows one to penetrate the
exterior layers of a difficulty or an enigma, allowing for the essence
of the problem to become evident, and further providing insight to the
solutions which would be most appropriate.* Inquiring about availability of GROWTH INTERFERENCE CRYSTALS $15.00
" IMPRINTS"(view)return

top
Imprints left on the surfaces or
facets of a crystal, where they grew in close proximity to another
crystal. I haven't found reference to these marks in any crystal book,
but have developed my own idea as to what they signify. [this comes from me, too] I believe that crystals with imprints show how
something is affected by outside influences, thereby changing the shape
or form of the original structure, but the original structure adapts to
its environment to allow for growth and
change, while still maintaining its basic inherent truth and beauty. click here to order quartz
crystal with IMPRINTS $5.00
"INCLUSIONS"(view)
When one is attracted to and uses
included quartz, the quartz inclusion will work with the person to
provide the further nourishment and qualities required. Usually
the chlorite and hematite included quartz provide the most powerful
healing-type of included quartz.* CHLORITE
INCLUDED:
Chlorite is one of the most favorable
healing stones. Worn, carried, placed within ones
environment, or used as an elixir, the properties of chlorite are
overwhelmingly positive. It attacks anger, hostility, and
exasperation, and dissipates the dissenting energy. SLATE INCLUDED:
I was told by a mine owner early
on in my digging "career" that most of the inclusions in
the crystal from the mines I gather crystal from are Manganese
inclusions. However, since then, I have read that a lot of
the inclusions in the crystal in the Ouachitas may in fact be SLATE.
(Reading books about geology and geological topography in the
Arkansas region, mineralogical deposits and such). With that
having been said, I haven't found "Slate" listed in a book (such as
Melody's, but I think slate is a form of Chert. These are just
educated guesses. Take them for what they are... not facts or
definites. If you are reading this and know something different,
write and tell me! I love to learn!!
Melody lists Chert as a form of Chalcedony (pronounced Cal-SID-on-ee)
which resembles flint but
more brittle. Can be used to provide stability and
to assist in remembering (daily issues or to "look back" to
the past or the past lives, or to help find lost items. This is
for Chert, keep in mind. click here to order

and outer worlds, between the self and others, and the self and other
worlds. It is beneficial when working with the aspects of spirituality,
the advanced metaphysical areas, and attempting to share this knowledge
with others.* Bridge crystals are also called "Inner Child"
crystals. They can help you heal and get in touch with your
inner child (bridges the gap between your outer self and your inner
self) The inner Child crystals I see as much smaller
and penetrating more "in" than "out" and have a feeling of going
"within", not so much as bridging inner to outer. click here to order INNER-CHILD

anger, and to encourage one to "expect a miracle" among other
qualities.* (no JAPAN-LAW CRYSTALS available at this time)
"KEY" (view)return

Recognized by a three or six-sided
indented shape located on the crystal. Usually the indent becomes
narrower as it goes within the crystal, and ends within the crystal,
usually in an apex termination. However, the indentations
range from round to oblong, sometimes very deep, other times a shallow
imprint. It is used to unlock the
"doors" to healing concepts and to those aspects of the self which tend
to be illusive. It further helps to answer questions like - why
can't I..?* click here to order KEY

"LASER
WAND"
(view)
A long slender crystal with small
faces comprising the termination. The crystal is wider at the
base than at the tip (tapers inversely), and
the angles of the sides of the crystal are curved, rather than
straight, in many instances. These crystals have an
intimate relationship with both inner and outer space.*
"LIGHTBRARY, CRYSTAL
CATHEDRAL"
These crystals are comprised of a main point surrounded by
smaller points, some of which merge into the main point. An extremely
powerful lightworker and wisdom bringer. Transmits very high vibration
and can to be used to raise your vibrational frequency. The smaller
points are said to contain information from the Akashic records.
"LINEATED"(view)
Configured to show the presence of a
parallel raised or indented rectilinear structure on the face or sides
of the crystal; not etched, but caused by the growth against another
pattern configuration. Used by Native Americans to trace their
heritage, also used during the vision quest to provide for a connection
between the physical realm and vision realm. Dedicated to the
fox, bringer of rapidity, dexterity, and Machiavellian tendency to that
which is the focus. Used in Spiritual journeying to protect and assist
one in choice

requires the inner knowledge that one is a clear and perfect channel,
that a
pure white light provides the guiding way, and that the purity of
the Divine is within the inner self. They can also be used to
facilitate artistic creativity, creative thinking, agricultural
pursuits, and to increase or decrease any aspect of ones life.* click here to order

"MASCULINE
CRYSTALS"(view)
The most clear crystals are thought
of as "masculine crystals". Such clear crystals often
emit the most intense energies making them very potent tools,
especially for healing. The masculine crystal will provide
positive assistance for those who are somewhat confused, or their
overview of life is "clouded" by emotion. They are of particular
benefit
where action is required, and where physical exhaustion is a
problem. Since we all possess masculine and feminine traits, it
is best
to have both in a crystal collection. However, if we have trouble
balancing our two sides within, it might be helpful to own a crystal
that allies with the side of ourselves that we have the most trouble
coming to terms with. click here to order

meridians of the physical body. Emits an energy
of liveliness and pleasantness, stimulating tact, finesse, poise
and refinement. A "stone of cooperative effort". It
provides for contact with the ancient builders of Egypt and can
be used to initiate insight into the ancient methods and associated
wisdom. The plate like form can be used to stimulate the
higher psychic abilities and to encourage ones faith in the personal
intuitive capabilities. It has been used in the alignment of the
spinal structure and the teeth.* (some CRYSTALS with ORTHOCLASE available on clusters

"PHANTOM
CRYSTAL"(view)return
to

The Phantom crystal is comprised of
a white or colored material (dark gray in the case of all the phantoms
I have found at
the mines I go to) and may be partial or complete. The phantoms
within a crystal provide an indication of the experiences and the
transformations the crystal has undergone in its evolution. The
crystal represents the many phases and the many types of life which may
be experienced during ones lifetime. It is
one of the Earth stones to be used for redemption and cleansing of the
earth. The energy of the phantom works to bring together the
participants of humanity to save the planet. It is an excellent
tool for meditation and for assisting one in connecting with the higher
realms of knowledge it can also be used to access the records of ones
progression through past lives.
"POCKET"
According to Melody, the Pocket
quartz formation "can be recognized by the formation of pockets in
large quartz structures". (I view it as a pocket-like indent at the
base of any crystal). Used to assist one in memory stimulation and to
increase ones
memory capacity.* (no POCKET CRYSTALS available at this time)

Crystal which has rainbows inside

record-keepers. A crystal within which wisdom is stored. It
is thought that when one properly attunes with this crystal, the
ancient knowledge and
profound secrets of the universe can be psychically retrieved.
They have been consciously and purposefully programmed by the beings
who created the energies which have culminated in the actualization of
life on this plane, and by their direct descendants [e.g., the
Atlanteans and Lemurians]. Only those with open minds and pure
hearts can access the information stored in the record keeper crystal.* check on availability inquiring

"RUTILATED
CRYSTAL"
Rutile crystallizes in the form of
prismatic crystals, or in this case, as needle-like crystals.
It is a MINERAL, not a VERB as I
thought previously! (Like Tourmaline is a mineral that when in
crystal for example, is called "tourmalinated")
Initially we thought Sammy's
crystals were chlorite rutiles, but this was mis-education... so if
you've been led here from a link or just here by chance for info, now
you know what is meant by "Chlorite Rutiles" if you read it somewhere
on the pages, it isn't. These crystals are Chlorite INCLUDED
and the inclusions are needle shaped. (confusing at best!!)
For a crystal to be called
"rutilated", it has to be included with needles of the mineral "Rutile".

configuration for transmission of directional energy. (SCEPTOR CRYSTALS currently unavailable)

Crystals which have "sealed" over

smoothes the broken edge (there
is controversy on whether it happens millennia ago when the crystal
breaks in it's formation or if it is currently happening now).
They may heal at the the termination or in the body of the point. Because these crystals have healed
themselves, we view them as particularly powerful healing stones.* click here to order SELF

"SACRED SIGILS"(view)
The "Sigil" crystal is recognized
by the strange raised and inverted "etching on the face of the crystal,
these etching are called
"SACRED SIGILS". The simplest definition of a sigil is a drawing
that is meant to represent an idea. For example, if you
saw this symbol "%", in your mind you would say the word, "percent",
even if it had no words on it. If you saw this symbol "$"...you
would think of money. That's basically what a sigil is. The Sigil
Crystals have a story to tell us about accessing our personal power,
and as we read the message within the Sigil markings, we are
empowered with the vibration of that "Sigil". To De-code your Sigil
crystal...first break the etching down into basic geometric shapes,
are there squares, triangles, circles, lightening bolts, or mountain
ranges etched onto face of the crystal? This will tell you where and
with what force of energy your Sigil crystal
was empowered....the sequence of simple geometric forms, repeated over
the face of the crystal, is part of the "Great Flame of Life". This
"flame of Life" takes the form of a sacred spiral vortex within the
SIGIL crystal....If your Sigil is composed of different geometric
shapes,
you would first select one, like the Square, which represents the
Earth, then the Triangle, which represents the "Divine energy from
above", then the Lightening bolt, which represents the powerful energy
sent from above to the Earth. With this "SIGIL" you are empowered with
the energy of heaven and Earth and may find your personal energy is
equally strong when drawn from the celestial Sky, the Earth or the
energy of natures Storms. If there is only one shape, such as
a Mountain range on your Sigil crystal, this stone was programmed with
the energy of an ancient Mountain range and you will find you and your
"Sigil" crystal are most energetic and strong when you are walking or
meditating in the Mountains. Most people are subconsciously drawn to
the Sigil crystal that works with their natural energies. These are
powerful crystals being manifested at this time on our
Planet. They are to be used with Wisdom and Compassion to bring healing
to the Earth and her inhabitants. The Keepers of these special
crystals are entrusted with a great responsibility, their cosmic
awareness and personal energy levels are amplified, awakening healing
energies within them they may or may not have previously been aware
of, or to what degree they possessed this energy.
"SMOKEY"(view)
The
energy of Smokey quartz is receptive and it is a mood elevator, used as
a grounding stone. It is thought to overcome
depression and other negative emotions. Tends to penetrate
and dissolve energy fields which have been generated from
negative thought forms, anger and resentment. It is prolonged,
intense and gentle in its action on the higher levels such
as meditation, simply holding the stone will suffice. Provides
for balancing the Yin/Yang energy. The presence of sodium in
clear quartz is said to produce smokey quartz; therefore, according to
Melody, smokey quartz can facilitate the regulation
of liquids within the body, and can produce a state of equilibrium
within the body with respect to mineral supplementation.
When
there is a distinct delineation between clear and smokey, "the
combination of Smokey/Clear quartz with a very definite separation",
like this one, "has produced a melding of the properties of Smokey and
clear quartz. It has also been used to assist
one in matters of discrimination and in delineation of those actions
required in ones life to facilitate the furtherance of objectives in
any situation. The smokey acts to ground the energies of the
clear quartz, promoting ease of energy application. This
combination has an enhanced energy."* (SMOKEY CRYSTALS currently unavailable)

"SPIRAL"
The spiral quartz crystal can be
recognized by the twisted configuration throughout the body of the
formation. It has been used to bring the universal spiral of
energy to the
physical body and to assist one in maintaining connection with the
physical plane during meditation. It inspires the energy of love, such
that all chakras are activated into a spontaneous flowing
movement, providing for a balance of the male and female energies.* (no SPIRAL CRYSTALS available at this time)
"TABULAR or TABBY" (view)return
to
top
A crystal with a flattened shape.
Usually
it should be at least half as thin as it is long
(like 1/2 inch thick to 1 inch long...) any thicker and it wouldn't be
a tabby. To enhance communication,
smooth energy flow and integration of ideas and balance; to facilitate
understanding and dialogue between people; to help us communicate with
nature. click here to order

TRANSMITTER quartz crystal $10.00
"TRIGONIC"(view) Paraphrasing Robert
Simmons from "The Book of Stones"; Trigonic quartz crystals are among
the rarest formations, characterized by an inscribed triangle in one or
more faces, similar to a sunken record keeper. The Trigonic point faces
'down' away from the termination. Trigonics are crystals of transition,
allowing one who attunes with it's vibration to see and travel to the
realms beyond death, ideal for people who frequently visit the Other
World for clients for soul retrevial, providing both access and
protection. It also can give the seeker keys to the future, allowing us
to open to the realm of unlimited possibility which the furture holds.
"WINDOW CRYSTALS" (view)return
to
top
A crystal with an extra diamond
shaped facet. To let us
see the Spirit realms, or to lead us within to see our own
souls. According to Melody, window crystals are powerful
teachers. They are like open windows through which one can
see beyond illusionary identities and into the essence of the
self. It is said that window crystals will come to a person
when he/she is willing to honestly look within the self and to
accept the truth.* click here to order

*most of the descriptions on this page came
from excerpts from
Melody's Love is in the Earth series and several other books found
on
the
reference
books page... take a look! If
you don't have Melody's books yet, they are very reasonably priced and DEFINITELY
worth the investment! Excellent books! A must have
for any library!
**Some of the references came from other books
found on the reference pages, other descriptions were intuited from the
years of experience of my working with the crystals. (I am beginning to think I am channeling part of
this information
from somewhere (I don't know how this works), as some of my thoughts
and answers to your questions and to descriptions come to me in
a very strong Latino accent.) ?? hmmm
So you will find a mixture
of several different references in the descriptions of these
configurations and by no means are these descriptions complete.
As a matter of fact, they are VERY VERY short, paraphrased
descriptions, and i HIGHLY recommend you buy one of the reference books
or at least check them out at the library if you want to
know about your particular stone. There is so much more about
each configuration, but I simply couldn't put everything down about
each one. These descriptions are just to be used
as a GENERAL GUIDE.
The very BEST way to learn about the crystals is
to meditate and experience them for yourself, I think each person will
get what they need from each crystal, depending
on what that particular crystal needs to communicate to you
at the time. I think the descriptions should be used as
a general guide to describe the configurations to lead you in a
direction, not as a hard and fast rule. This is my opinion,
however.
Happy learning! Genn :)
