I’ve always loved working with African crystals and minerals. The quartz crystals all seem to have an ancient and wise energy that is completely untamed. And the colors and inclusions you can find in African quartz are so complex and so lovely. It feels like a homecoming for me whenever we are blessed with crystals from Africa. The vivid red phantoms so close to the surface really catch you eye and draw you in. I love the deep contrast of the white misty quartz and the ravishingly red phantoms.  The face that displays alot of record keepers also has some damage to it that looks recent.  But let's face it, recent to a crystal could mean the last ice age. A deep vital energy pulls Earth energy up through your system. It is deeply healing on the physical level especially in the lower chakras. It helps to root out infections and abnormal growths, helping the body heal itself. This beautiful crystal is from Madagascar.

The crystal measures 2.5" x 1" x 0.8" and weighs 1.6oz.

Red-phantom quartz crystals are rare. The red phantom is used to stimulate the first three chakras, to combine the energies in order to produce highly recognizable vitality directed toward creativity, intellectual advancement, and intuitive endeavors.

In addition, the red phantom exhibits qualities similar to dioptase; it provides for stimulation of the intelligence of the cellular structure of the body such that the cells may recognize the reason for malfunction, in conditions of disease; it further provides the vitality and creativity for the correction of the malfunction. This crystal will be made available to those who are ready for the complex powers.

A crystal that has pyramidal or triangular shaped symbols that are either engraved into or are raised on one or more of a crystal faces is called a Record Keeper or Recorder. These symbols are not easily seen and usually need to be searched out by looking at the crystal in a bright light while closely examining the faces. It is believed that the Record Keeper is one of the most sacred crystals because it holds the wisdom and knowledge of the universe. When a person is properly attuned to a Record Keeper, this knowledge is readily made available. This knowledge is ancient knowledge and contains profound secrets and esoteric knowledge of the whole of the Higher Consciousness. It takes an open mind and a pure heart to access this knowledge.
