Phantom Amethyst Crystal Sphere 6cm This Phantom Amethyst Crystal Sphere features soft purple colour, beautiful internal zoning and visible phantom formations suspended within the polished stone. Its translucency reveals different layers and inclusions as the sphere is turned in the light. Amethyst is a purple variety of Quartz, coloured by trace iron and natural irradiation. Phantom formations occur when crystal growth pauses and later resumes, leaving the outline of an earlier growth stage preserved inside the crystal. Amethyst is traditionally associated with peace, protection, intuition and spiritual awareness, while phantom formations are often linked with growth, reflection and transformation. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve its colour, and handle with care. Complete your piece with a matching sphere from our collection here.
