Phantoms
A Phantom is recognised by what looks like another crystal inside a crystal. However this is not so, what has happened is that the crystal has experienced several different lifetimes of learning and being, in that- just like the rings of a tree, it has started growing and then stopped again, started growing and stopped again and so on, yet remaining in the same physical configuration until its growth was complete, thus being a very fine example of the evolution of consciousness and continued growth to the perfect being it is. What you end up with is a crystal with ghost-like pyramids inside the crystal or cyrstal-look-alikes inside.
This phenomena will help you to experience many different phases and learning paths in your present lifetime. It will also assist you to connect to higher realms of knowledge, to inner planes, to your spiritual guides and to the journeys of your own soul and the records of your past lives. Also a good stone when one has come to a standstill on ones spiritual path and is in need of guidance and support into the next dimension of understanding in this lifetime. Also a very good stone for those who seek perfection for themselves in this lifetime.
The phantom is also a good stone to be used for earth cleansing and allows for smooth Earth changes to take place and it is therefore a definite stone for light workers who send healing to Mother Earth.
The polished phantom goes a step further and allows for a perfect and undisturbed state of the original form and is therefore a must for any personal alter.
Use them with deep respect, sincerity, discipline and patience and they will reward you by becoming an invaluable teacher.
