The Phantom Crystal can be recognized as a fully formed crystal that has grown over itself leaving one or more shadows of itself inside the crystal. Looking into a Phantom Crystal you will see faint outlines of a smaller crystal that has the same exact structure and shape as the larger outer crystal.
Phantoms are formed when a crystal has completed one stage of growth and then suddenly an infusion of new or different nutrients or debris enters the crystal pocket from an “earth shattering” event and the new minerals or debris settles over the outside of the growing crystal. This shadow of debris that settles over the original crystal creates the Phantom crystal outline. As the crystal continues to grow again over the outline of its past “shadowed” self, the new growth expands beyond the shadow into perfect clarity and form.. The Phantom Crystal is symbolic of the evolving soul and its growth toward the light. Even though one experiences something that creates a shadow over one’s clarity, we can continue to grow past the shadowing experience with clarity and light. Phantom Crystals also stimulate creativity and growth beyond self-limiting expectations.
Meditation with these tools is a perfect choice for any forms of past-life work and they are powerful energy sources for the initiation of healing for traumas on all levels, especially when the past life trauma is affecting present life health. Tracing your soul’s journey through it’s many selves throughout time the Phantom crystal can enhance inner knowing and clarity of understanding regarding present circumstances.
