I’ve always loved working with African crystals and minerals. The quartz crystals all seem to have an ancient and wise energy that is completely untamed. And the colors and inclusions you can find in African quartz are so complex and so lovely. It feels like a homecoming for me whenever we are blessed with crystals from Africa. This beautiful cluster has a warm golden glow to its milky white crystals. The surface of the crystals are slightly matte yet still have a nice luster. The points are beautiful with light glyphs and record keepers. There is virtually no damage to the cluster either. Surprisingly the clearest of the group has a very spunky enhydro bubble. It moves around the interior in a complex series of chambers. If you don't see it at first keep moving the cluster around, it gets a little stuck, then jumps to the next section of the chamber. This beautiful cluster is from Ansirabe, Madagascar.

Phantom quartz records the stages of growth of a crystal. Phantoms can mark a time of no growth, where another mineral has settled on the surface before the crystal began to grow again. Because phantom quartz shows a record in time, they are perfect for those who wish to work with past life recall. They also help you to identify patterns, and the evolution of healing. This is especially helpful for those working through trauma or abuse. Often the same issues crop up over and over again, leading you to believe you are not making any progress. Phantom quartz helps you to look back and see the progress you have made. You may be working on the same issues but now from a higher perspective. Combine this with the emotional healing of an enhydro crystal and you have a powerful healing combination. Enhydros support your emotional health, working to remove negativity, furthering your ability to break free from patterns and start anew. 

The cluster measures 2.5" x 2.7" x 1.25" and weighs 6 oz.

Enhydro means "water within". These are crystals that contain pockets of pure water, mysteriously trapped in ages gone by. Water has been found in chalcedony, agate and quartz and is usually perceived by the presence of moving gas bubbles in the water. Very occasionally, there are pockets of water with no bubble but a tiny floating inclusion.

As water indicates the emotions, these crystals can have a profound effect on our emotional life. In Nature, water that cannot move becomes stagnated - as emotions that cannot be expressed stagnate. Enhydros contain water trapped in very limited space, but the water has remained clean and pure for millennia. The signature of these crystals indicates a purification of the emotions, even if those emotions stagnated under conditions of severe deprivation.

Our emotional health is paramount. Both the Earth and our bodies are 70% water. Analyze the impetus for action and you will see it is emotional, i.e. motivated by the emotions. Any crystal which Nature shows is clearly connected to emotional health is extremely important at this time. Their uses are extensive. They are beautiful, mysterious and powerful crystals, which you will rarely come across.

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.
