ARK Crystals are synthetically grown, high-purity quartz crystals cut into a specific tetrahedral geometry. The name "ARK" stands for Advanced Resonance Kinetics, reflecting the theoretical basis for their function. ARK Crystal biotechnology was conceptualized and engineered by physicist and inventor Nassim Haramein based on his 30+ years of research in fundamental physics and engineering work in quantum vacuum based technologies. ARK Crystals are not naturally occurring formations, but rather precisely engineered structures. They are made from extremely pure, synthetically grown silicon tetra-oxide (SiO4) quartz, shaped into a modified regular tetrahedron with truncated vertices and chamfered edges.

Quartz is a trigonal crystal system composed of a continuous matrix of SiO4 silicon-oxygen tetrahedra (Figure 1). Quartz crystals convert acoustic oscillatory modes and mechanical pressure into electricity through the piezoelectric effect [1]. These oscillatory modes result in highly precise frequencies and thus quartz resonators form the control element of oscillatory circuits in modern electronic devices, like the time gate circuit of the Central Processing Unit in computers [2]. In ARK Crystals—via the piezoelectrical effect characteristic of quartz— continuous oscillatory action of the electromechanical axis generates an oscillating electrical micro-current. The corresponding electromagnetic field generated by the oscillating current in the ARK Crystal is believed to drive vibrational energy absorption in liquid water and other materials which can drive ordered structuring effects (Dr. Gerald Pollack’s studies have shown that the energy source for the formation of heterogenous structured water is light including infrared waves [3], see also [4,5]). Structured water has been shown to be beneficial to the living system [6] and testing has shown that ARK Crystal structuring effect on water has significant effects on markers of vitality in the biological system.
