Phantom Clear Quartz Polished Point Wrapped Pendant

Among the crystals, jewelry, and ritual goods on 14th Street is this pendant: Phantom Clear Quartz Polished Point Wrapped Pendant (listed at 7–9 grams, shop SKU PHQP44).

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 stone is held in a wire wrap rather than a solid bezel, so each wrap follows the shape of that particular piece.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight or grade is listed.

• Weight: 7–9 grams
• SKU: PHQP44
