Smokey phantom quartz piece (116683)

A beautiful phantom Smokey quartz resting on a copper-coloured metal stand. Being in the stand seems to magnify its energy.

The quality of the Smokey quartz is exceptional, with phantoms at the tip and unusual patterns inside. Measures 11.5" x 3.75" on 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 learning from this master.
If you desire to manifest a dream into reality and it runs counter to 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 requires no cleansing, as it self-regulates its 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 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.
