PHANTOM QUARTZ

Macrocrystalline quartz (quartz whose geometric structure is visible) grows in layers, deep in the earth, under pressure and extreme heat over millions of years. Sometimes during the growth process, another mineral becomes included in 1 or more of the layers of the crystal. If the subsequent layers are relatively clear, the end result is a crystal with a ghost-like “phantom” of a smaller crystal point within the crystal point. Other included quartz is often referred to as Phantom Quartz, with included minerals in sprays, dots, stars, riticulate, blotches, mistings etc. in different colors, sizes, opacities and optical properties.

Associated with all chakras & zodiac signs depending on the inclusions & colors. Vibrates to the number 1.
