Garden Phantom Quartz Brazil Tumbled

Garden Phantom Quartz Brazil Tumbled is a tumbled stone (shop SKU VOQIT) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Phantom quartz shows earlier growth outlines, or 'phantoms,' inside a later crystal. In crystal traditions, phantom quartz is associated with growth and with looking back over a cycle. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Tumbled stones are polished in a drum, which softens sharp edges and brings out color. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as Brazil.
