This year our Tucson finds include beautiful Himalayan quartz that come from the Bashir mine in India from the Shiva Himal region. These beautiful crystals and clusters are hand mined at altitudes up to 15,000 ft above sea level (that's almost 3 miles above sea level!). They have the wonderful high vibrational energy that the Himalayan crystals are becoming well known for. They sing and chant in tones that only soothes the soul and moves you towards a higher vibrational plane. They have a unique duality to their energy being of the earth and sky due to the high altitudes that they are mined at, giving you a sense of comfort and grounding giving you the freedom to explore the higher vibrational planes and are wonderful meditation companions.

This is a small yet utterly charming phantom quartz cluster from the Himalayan mountains.  The quartz is delightfully bright and contrasts beautifully with the shimmering green chlorite inclusions around the base and in the smaller crystals.  The main crystal terminates in a dow or trans-channeler formation with horizontal striations on its shaft that are reminiscent of Lemurian markings.  Encased in the main crystal is a perfectly formed pale green phantom.

The cluster measures 1.6" x 1.9" x 1.3".

Chlorite Included Quartz has strong anti cancer properties. It is a very good crystal for physical regeneration, especially as an elixir. It gives one raw usable energy. It helps us absorb and use the nutrients we take in. The Chlorite itself enables our body to receive and use more efficiently the energy of the Quartz. The Quartz itself amplifies the energy of the Chlorite.

Chlorite Included Quartz helps us to accept ourselves as we are as against what the media portrays the ideal self to be. In some cases Chlorite creates phantoms inside the Quartz crystal itself, as the Quartz crystal grows, a layer of chlorite will wash over it, the crystal continues to grow over the top of the chlorite, thus leaving an image of it's self when it was at that phase of it's growth. Sometimes you get multi phantoms. Phantom Quartz crystals are very powerful for getting yourself out of a rut and pushing on with Love and appreciation.
