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
Citrine Phantoms bring great wealth, abundance & prosperity. They hold the power of the golden triangle this is an impenetrable energy field which facilitates immense healing & initiation into the way of light. The golden triangle opens a platform to astral travel, soul journeying & past life exploration. From here the realm of Angels can be experienced.
