Morion is a  sister to smokey quartz, this very rare black quartz is formed through natural radiation, from growing near uranium deposits. Morion itself is not radioactive and is safe to carry. When exposed to light for extended time they fade from black to grey. "Morions" were a type of helmet used around the time of the Conquistadors, which speaks to the stone's protective and shielding qualities. They are useful in shadow work, helping the wearer to face the dark aspects of self and to release obstacles. They are grounding and aid in coping with grief. Morion can be used to bring connection with the "darker" faces of the deity, such as the Crone and Hunter archetypes. 
Morion the 'Stone of Divine Source', helps to ease conditions that cause difficulties in breathing, bringing forth an improved flow of oxygen and strengthened respiratory system, as well helping the being to connect with that if Divinity and spirit guides.
 
Quartz overall is a high vibrational stone with a very pure and self-adjusting energy. It works on the whole of the being, the whole of an atmosphere and widely strengthens the energy output of other crystals and minerals. It is a stone mainly in its clear pure form that can be called upon when seemingly all else fails, or when there is confusion of what other crystal or mineral to connect with. In its different forms it does have differing offerings, yet with the same undertones.
Morion can be placed near those who are in upset condition, who just need that bit of extra oxygen to flow at ease throughout the body. This is a very good stone to bring ease and comfort to those that are no longer able to be up and about in life anymore.
 
A stone that holds an open connection with the Divine source and can help bring the being that bit closer to that of Divinity for guidance and comfort. Morion is a stone that can help to give an understanding of why life can seemingly be so tough for some, yet so easy for others, it opens the mind to learning and idea in such a sensitive, yet very knowledgeable area.
 
Morion is a stone that brings forth shielding from outer negative influences, helping the being to trust the inner voice and instinct. This stone encourages the being to learn when it is best to face up to situations, as well as when it is best to just step away.
 
Morion is a stone to help the being to have courage, patience and fairness. Morion puts the being in touch with spirit guides of all kinds, but always those of light. These spirit guides can be of ones own, those that teach humanity and even those who were once great warriors within the physical realm, yet gained this status with the use of compassion, courage and wisdom.
 
Morion is a wonderful stone with such a compassion for all, along with its strong connection to Divine source, it really does try to help in the creation of an easier path ahead for the being.
