These semi-polished crystals are truly fascinating. They have varying textures for those who are tactile, and visually they provide quite a vista. Generally they are natural on the bottom and have a polished dome on the top. Inclusions vary from chlorite, rutiles, sand (matrix) or any of these combined. They have lovely energy to hold, a solid comforting presence, and they act like a worry stone. Gazing into them, you are easily transported to another world as you explore the interior. They help one provide focus and grounding. These domes are also known as shamanic dream crystals. Mined in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

This is a gorgeous dome that makes me think of sunset cascading over desert mountains.  The dusky pink tones you see in this dome can really only be found in the desert.  Clouds of pink rutiles rain down over chlorite phantom layers that rise up from the craggy base.

The dome measures 1.8" x 1.2" x 1.2" and weighs 2.3oz.

Rutilated Quartz is a very electromagnetic crystal and thus activates your spinal fluid and blasts through blockages through your whole electromagnetic system. I have used rutilated quartz to greatly alleviate back pain from a car accident. Rutilated Quartz makes a highly recommended elixir. It aids cellular regeneration and is most energizing and uplifting. It also brings the thyroid gland into balance. Rutilated Quartz encourages you to reach new spiritual heights and strengthens your immune system. It is also good for helping you absorb all nutrients.

Phantom quartz crystals are said to help one understand the various stages in life that we all evolve through, and they are said to be an excellent tool for meditation and for remembrance of past lives. Phantom quartz is especially good for children, assisting them with learning to meditate. Use phantom quartz during stressful periods, or periods of change to facilitate a more peaceful transition. It is also an excellent stone for assisting with healing from abuse issues. It helps one to see the progress in healing, and identify patterns.
