A phantom crystal displays a ‘shadow’ within the body which echos the outer shape. They are caused by changes in the environment during the period of growth. Sometimes colours are apparent at the level of the phantom, showing that other minerals were present at that stage of growth. Phantoms remind us that we can grow beyond expectations and are helpful for times when we feel stuck.

Clear or colourless quartz can be totally transparent and glass-like, or have beautiful internal patterns and rainbows. It brings clarity, balance, alignment & harmony. It activates all systems of the body & all levels of consciousness.

For some people it can help to increase vitality when they lack energy or feel low; for others it can bring calmness and a feeling of wellbeing. It clears blockages & limitations at all levels of Being, protects against unwanted energies, increases awareness & promotes spiritual growth. It amplifies thought-forms, prayers & the effects of all other crystals, & can focus & enhance other forms of healing.
