Red Hematite Phantom Quartz XL Included Unpolished DT Crystal Cluster Cabinet Specimen Mineral Specimen Rocks and Minerals Morocco

*This is a large cabinet specimen, and it’s currently set for US shipping only. Contact me for an accurate international shipping quote!* This one has to be seen to be believed—this large, substantial double-sided cluster has a lot of personality! It is a heavy and beautiful cluster of terminated crystals, most double terminated—the crystal points fan out from both sides of the cluster, making it double sided. One of this specimen’s most beautiful included features is a thick phantom, visible along the crystal's terminations and running through most of the crystals. A phantom is a footprint in the life of the crystal--it is a visible interruption and re-start of the crystal's growth. The phantom in this specimen is a brick red shade. The cluster has not been shaped or polished, and is completely natural; some crystals are incomplete and some are near perfect. This cluster is unique and different from every side, with a seemingly infinite number of display angles. It would make a spectacular specimen collector’s specimen, but it is just as comfortable being held during meditation and healing ceremonies. Locality: Morocco Dimensions: 5.13” x 3.50” x 3.38” (130mm x 88mm x 86mm) Weight: 500 g (1 lb 1.6 oz) Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide, and is one of the most abundant minerals on the planet. It is found in a multitude of colors, growth habits, and localities. Quartz may also host a huge variety of different included minerals. Harlequin quartz, also called fire quartz and Titan quartz, has wonderful red inclusions of hematite, a mineral associated with the element of earth. Phantoms may form in nearly any color if the secondary mineral deposit is there. Healing Properties: Phantom inclusions are believed to symbolize universal awareness, and facilitate deep meditation. Hematite included quartz combines the energy of quartz and hematite, and is believed to help link and invigorate the chakras. It is believed to help us release fear and emanate love, as well as helping us to make positive changes through manifestation.
