Geology/History
Phantom Quartz is a variety of Quartz crystal that over millions of years has undergone the intrusion of variations of trace mineral content or radiation during its growth. These variations cause outlines of the crystal growth to appear within the body of the crystal due to colour or clarity variations caused by the variation of trace minerals or radiation. These outlines are the “Phantoms”. The phantom outlines are typically aligned with the outer surfaces of the crystal. Phantoms are found in countries such as Austria, Brazil, Madagascar, Switzerland, Australia, Tibet & the United States.
Metaphysical Properties
Amethyst Phantoms open doorways to the divine temples, here the walls are inscribed with the secrets of one’s soul journey & the karmic lessons to be understood. Once conceived these karmic ties can be released freeing the soul to achieve its highest purpose. Also within the temples lies the heart of all elements the beginning of all creation & the instructions on how to call on the elements to create in the physical realm.
