AAA Citrine "Sopdet" (1115095)

A stunningly beautiful AAA-grade Phantom Citrine. Stands 16” high by 7” wide. It has been imbued with the power name “Sopdet”, which is the Ancient Egyptian name for Sirius.

Its colours shift from golden to deep cognac. A cleave runs right through the middle, creating all sorts of patterns and shapes. Phantom shapes also appear at the apex.

Citrine is known as the stone of sunshine, connecting you to the warmth, joy and comfort of this major fiery star, the giver of life. In Feng Shui, Citrine relates to the Fire element, the season of Summer, the sound of laughing and the emotion of happiness. It has an uplifting, motivating vibration and symbolises energy and passion.

AAA-grade Citrine is among the highest-quality ones you can get. The stone's quality is always very clear, though it may often have natural flaws; the clarity of the Citrine will be impeccable.

Citrine phantom quartz is one of the rarest of crystals. This beautiful quartz helps us release, through meditation, memory patterns that restrict the flow of joy into our lives.

Archangel Gabriel and Michael combine forces through this stone - unifying sacred water and sun qualities.

Phantoms are crystal planes and memories of previous crystalline growth within a quartz. Deep within the crystal, you will see these solid phantoms as shadows and subtle outlines of crystal growth that grew first and then stopped. The crystal then resumes its crystallisation process, enclosing the previous 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. Something about the pyramidal forms inside 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.
