Science & Structure

Amphibole Quartz, often called Angel Phantom Quartz, is a remarkable variety of clear quartz with natural, feathery inclusions that look like angel wings drifting through the crystal. These wispy shapes form as different minerals—commonly hematite, kaolinite, or lithium—grow inside the quartz during its formation. No two pieces are ever the same, making each crystal a unique, natural artwork.

A Glimpse into History

While quartz has been treasured worldwide for thousands of years, Amphibole Quartz gained recognition more recently as collectors and healers began to value its striking, cloud-like interiors. Most high-quality specimens come from Brazil, though pockets of similar inclusions are found in other quartz-rich regions. Each crystal is a frozen moment in geological time, capturing the slow dance of mineral growth that took place deep within the earth.

Metaphysical Energy

Amphibole Quartz is renowned for its spiritual elevation and inner peace.

• Resonates with the crown and third-eye chakras, supporting intuition, dream recall, and connection to higher guidance.
