Phantoms are crystal planes and memories of previous crystalline growth within a quartz. Deep within the crystal itself, you will see these solid phantoms like shadows and subtle outlines of crystal growth which have grown first and then stopped. The crystal has then resumed its crystallisation process, enclosing the previous crystal growth as a phantom outline within itself. Phantoms are powerful aids for past-life work, healing, rejuvenation, and regression.
I associate phantoms with Egypt, Lemuria and Atlantis. There is something about the pyramidal forms within that reminds me of initiations and sacred ceremonies in ancient temples.
There is a further way of working with phantom crystals, known as ancestral healing.
Ancestral healing is a process that empowers us to connect, repair and nurture relationships with our own wise and loving ancestors. We stand at the front of the line in our ancestry; the energies embodied have been passed on to us and are now expressing themselves through us, and will continue to do so if we don’t take steps to heal our ancestral lineage.
We carry karmic burdens within families and our bodies. We also carry their blessings. Working with phantom quartz may open pathways to our roots, thereby fueling the transformation of inherited burdens and releasing the full embodiment of our gifts.

Working with Star Rose Quartz
Star Rose quartz is a very high-quality rose quartz that has a star of light with 4 or 6 rays that only appears when the stone is polished in a spherical shape or a crystal skull. The stars come out most dramatically in strong light, such as sunlight, sometimes with a holographic effect that seems [...]
Working with Kimberlite
Kimberlite, in its natural form, includes Olivine, Ilmenite, Phlogopite and Enstatite. Mined and comes from only one location, the Kimberley Mine in South Africa. Some people refer to this as the stone of freedom, which I find a bit silly myself, since it implies that a stone can free oneself from the world of form… which [...]

Working with Turquoise
The name turquoise is related to the fact that it was brought to Europe from the Eastern Mediterranean by Levantine traders, more commonly known as Turks. It’s been highly prized for thousands of years and was used by the ancient Egyptians, Persians, Aztecs and American Indians. The colour is, of course, turquoise, but its range varies [...]

Aquatine Lemurian Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral with a trigonal crystal system (3 on the hardness scale). It is a deep blue-green Calcite (that resembles aquamarine) and originates from Argentina. Those already attuned to Lemurian energy will find this stone offers protection against overexposure to the harshness of modern life and the challenges a world in [...]

The Dumortierite Oversoul has a sweet, focused energy that supports those who seek to communicate their creative, healing or teaching work in the world. As a stone, it is particularly powerful for those drawn to it. When we work with [...]
Working with Ametrine
Ametrine is a crystal of rare beauty. True Ametrine comes only from one source: the Anahi Mine in Bolivia. It occurs in veins in a dolomitic limestone. The colour zones visible within Ametrine are referred to as sectoral zoning. They are the result of 2 factors: the differing oxidation states of iron, which occur within the crystal [...]
Working with Herkimer Diamond
Herkimer Diamonds are exquisite gems; they are naturally double-terminated quartz crystals which have formed from dolomite. A process that occurred around 5 million years ago, when magnesium was incorporated into limestone and calcite. Herkimer Diamonds has an excellent way of uplifting the spirit. It has a strong affinity to the higher chakras, especially the Sahasrara [...]
