Smokey phantom quartz piece (116683)

A beautiful phantom Smokey quartz resting in a copper colored metal stand. Being in the stand seems to magnify it's energy.

The quality of the Smokey quartz is exceptional with phantoms at the tip and unusual patterns inside. Measures 11.5" x 3.75" in the stand - the actual crystal measures 7.5" x 3.75". The actual crystal could also stand without the metal support.

I commissioned the stand as I felt that the crystal somewhat enjoys being this way.

Smokey quartz is a gift from the Earth supporting our human journey towards wholeness.
Here is what the Crystal Oversouls say regarding Smokey Quartz. "Smoky Quartz is a master crystal, helping us to ground inner experiences into a workable reality. It reminds us to make proper use of our foundation and personality. If we are out of sync with the requirements of the earth plane, then this is the stone to meditate with. Smoky quartz carries the warm browns and black tones of the Earth and we can be open to learn from this master.
If you desire to manifest a dream into reality and it is running against the flow of society or is ahead of its time, then Smoky quartz will be the perfect companion. Through the vibrational structure of Smoky quartz we can learn how the game of life works and understand how our dream will fit in" Text copyright "the Crystal Oversoul Attunements" published by Findhorn Press.

It is said that this variety of quartz needs no cleansing as it self regulates its own energy.

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 crystallization 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 inside which remind me of initiations and sacred ceremonies inside the ancient temples.
