Frank Dorland

Bio-Crystallographer

The life path of Frank Dorland had him employed in the engineering division of Consolidated Aircraft at Lindbergh Field in San Diego. Later as an art conservator, Frank researched and produced the first scientifically formulated artists' wax for painting and preserving art pieces, sculptures, and archeological artifacts. In 1952, Frank was made member #122 of the International Institute for the Conservation of Museum Objects headquartered in London. In 1964, when a human sized quartz crystal skull was brought to Frank from England, his life made another turn - the more he studied the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull, the more it demanded further research.

Having been entrusted with the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull for six years, Frank Dorland's work evolved into a new category: biocrystallography, the study of the interchange of energies between the human mind and electronic quartz crystal. He was also responsible for the important examinations conducted on the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull at the Hewlett-Packard Laboratory.

His research culminated in a book titled "Holy Ice - Bridge to the Subconscious". Regarding the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull, Dorland concludes "the Skull is genuine, even if most of the stories around it aren't." But this book covers so much more than a crystal skull - it is a true investigation into the powers of rock crystal and it addresses topics that even today are considred advanced findings - like the human body being a Super Antenna.

HOLY ICE

Clear quartz is also known as "Rock Crystal". The Greeks originally named Quartz "Krystallos", meaning ice, but this soon became the word used for all crystals - not just quartz crystals. This is why some refer to quartz as "Holy Ice". To the Japanese, quartz is representative of perfection, so they highly prize flawless ultra-clear quartz, which is becoming increasingly rare and hard to find. Feng Shui practitioners also draw upon the amplifying and harmonizing energies of clear quartz crystal - the clearer the better.

The book "Holy Ice" covers the background, and likely historical uses of the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull. Having brought the skull to the Hewlett-Packard lab to be studied, this book provides the most detail regarding these extraordinary findings.

As many people will atest, sometimes when crystal skulls appear in your life, they may take you on a wonderful new path. For Frank, it was the beginning of his research into all aspects of quartz, from its history, to traditional uses and its technological applications.

The beauty of this book - and Frank Dorland - is that he walked the paths of a scientist and a metaphysician. This book explores both shamanic aspects as well as 'right brain' revelations.

Holy Ice provides one of the best laid out supporting documentation for disciplines like crystal healing and meditation.

For anyone who is interested in the phenomenal Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull, or fascinated by quartz itself, this is THE book to have! It contains dozens of amazing photographs you will not find anywhere else.

"Holy Ice" is out of print, and can be pricey - just as some of the other classic books like "The Skull Speaks" and "Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed" - but if you can find a copy, you will discover a whole new world into the crystals and crystal skulls.
