This listing is for 24 pieces of Phantom Quartz from Brazil. It is believed that phantom quartz can heighten intuition and create a connection with one’s spirit guide. Phantom quartz is used to access the angelic realm. It is beneficial in unblocking and activating the third eye and crown chakras. As a result, greater consciousness and spiritual growth is achieved. The crystal also has the ability to balance the root and sacral chakras, the areas that can get blocked by a person’s traumas. Phantom quartz clears out and balances energy points to replace unproductive energies with love, creativity, sexuality, and stability. Scientifically, no two phantom quartzes are alike. Phantom quartz is only found in Minas Gerais, an inland state in southern Brazil known for its wealth of minerals and mining activities.This unique crystal contains prismatic or needle-like crystals inside it. These crystals were formed when a certain amphibole mineral washes over the quartz and interrupts its natural growth cycle. As the crystal continues to grow, it leaves a phantom-like image of itself where it was at the time when the mineral washed over it. Phantom Quartz has a Mohs hardness of 7.
