Colorful Kaolinite Phantoms Etched Quartz Crystal (M8239) $16.00

Kaolin is a fine mineral clay and rocks and crystals that have a kaolin content are known as kaolinite. The inclusions are very fine and almost delicate in nature compared to other inclusions such as lodolite. The colors are beautiful ranging from white, grey, and yellow, to red or sometimes blue. Kaolinite in quartz is a fairly unusual combination. The presence of kaolinite is very important in the creation of red phantom quartz. This is very apparent on the back side of the crystal where patterns of red and orange can be found with the white kaolinite. Within this area specks of metallic hematite catch the light.

This is a crystal of transition and change. It helps you over the obstacles that are impeding the evolution of your spirit. It helps one eliminate unwanted influences in your life, helping you see the "crazy makers" in your life. These are the people that seem to throw your life into chaos just when everything seems be going smoothly. You'll find ways to help limit the impact these type people have on your life, even if they are very close to you personally. Its energy is physically healing too, soothing skin irritations and digestion by absorbing and eliminating toxins. This fascinating crystal is from Brazil.

Beautiful clarity of the quartz gives a perfect view of the multi-colors within. A dense pattern of phantoms can be seen towards the base, with more recent phantoms at the top. Either the crystal went through a phase of rapid growth, or there were few deposits for a long period of time, however my instinct sides with the rapid growth. This experience teaches one to adapt and react quickly when necessary. A future time link helps one stay focused on their goals. There are a few minor bruises at the termination edges adding a depth of compassion to the energy.

The crystal measures 3.1" x 0.9" x 0.7" and weighs 1.7 oz.
