Lemon Phantom Quartz Polished Point Raw Base

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this crystal point: Lemon Phantom Quartz Polished Point Raw Base (shop SKU WJLPQP23).

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.

The title describes a mix of natural or raw surfaces and polished areas. 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.
