Intriguing Etched Kaolinite Phantom Crystal w/ Colorful Barnacle Cluster (M8160) $32.00

Kaolin is a fine mineral clay and rocks and crystals that have a kaolin content are known as kaolinite. The inclusions are very fine and almost delicate in nature compared to other inclusions such as lodolite. The colors are beautiful ranging from white, grey, and yellow, to red or sometimes blue. Kaolinite in quartz is a fairly unusual combination. The presence of kaolinite is very important in the creation of red phantom quartz. This is very apparent on the back side of the crystal where patterns of red and orange can be found with the white kaolinite. Within this area specks of metallic hematite catch the light.

The channeling quartz crystal is recognized by the configuration of a large 7-sided face, located in the center front position of the terminated end of the crystal; a triangular face is located on the opposite (backside) side of the crystal.

The seven of the one crystal face represents precision within the intuitive realm of the higher mind and the analytical understanding inherent in the mental and physical bodies. It is symbolic of the student, the professor, the mystic, and the seeker of wisdom. The triangular face on the opposing side provides for creative and innovative verbalization of inner truths. The "three" represents the both prerogative and the power of speech and the ability to both creatively and joyously express the self.

In this configuration, the "seven" represents the accessibility of innate wisdom and the "three" represents the ability of manifestation and verbal communication. The combination represents initiative and the interdependence between the world of the physical self and the perfection of "All That Is".
