This mysterious and cloudy variation of clear quartz has an alluring vibration that’s difficult to ignore. If you find yourself drawn to phantom quartz, it’s usually a tell-tale sign that you’re ready for some deep emotional healing.
After all, our intuition acts impulsively based on our subconscious thoughts. Even if you aren’t fully aware of why you need something, you should always trust your gut.Phantom Quartz ranges in color from clear to cloudy. The clearer it is, the more easily its properties can be felt, and the more expensive it becomes. However, Phantom Quartz does have a distinguishing feature that makes it easier to tell it apart from regular Clear Quartz.
To earn the ghostly name of Phantom Quartz, the crystal must have been interrupted during its growth. This interruption creates concentrated mineral deposits that look like specters within the stone. These holographic images are what give Phantom Quartz its unique healing properties. It also means that no two Phantom Quartz crystals are the same.
Some shamans refer to Phantom Quartz as the light stone, symbolic of the light within us all. According to Toltec wisdom, every organism on earth is a light being, all stemming from the same source and all intrinsically connected. However, our light, which is just as bright from one person to the next, is clouded and almost impossible to see with the human eye. This creates a false idea of separation and makes us feel disconnected from the world. Phantom Quartz’s light is easy to detect and reverses this effect. It strengthens our bond with all living things.
Phantom Quartz is a supremely spiritual stone. It activates the seventh chakra, otherwise known as the crown, or the Sahasrara. This is the energy center responsible for filtering in divine wisdom from higher realms of consciousness.
Phantom Quartz is said to enhance intuition and facilitate a connection with your spirit guide. Follow its sage advice to manifest the life you desire. It may come in the form of sudden innovative ideas, or if you can get into a trance-like state, then it’s possible to be able to physically see, touch, and talk to your guide. Some spiritual teachers have theorized that your spirit guides are your infinite self—essentially you after transcending the human experience.
