Red Phantom Quartz, also known as Sunset Phantom Quartz, is a unique and visually striking variety of quartz found in select regions of India, particularly in Tamil Nadu. What sets this crystal apart is the presence of hematite inclusions, which create the phantom-like formations inside the quartz. These internal layers resemble a natural record of the crystal’s paused and resumed growth over time.
Energetics based on my own experience
Red Phantom Quartz is a deeply grounding and protective stone that anchors you into your body and the present moment. It resonates strongly with the root chakra, offering stability, strength, and a steady sense of safety—especially during times of transformation.
The “phantom” effect occurs when the crystal growth is interrupted, allowing mineral-rich deposits to form before growth resumes. This layered formation symbolizes evolution, transformation, and inner growth.
