This unique, beautiful and energetically powerful palm-sized AAA Rutile Smoky Phantom Altar from Diamantina, Brazil, has gemstone clarity and brilliance, and contains a beautiful crystalline landscape reminiscent of the color and markings found when gazing into a Catskill Mountain trout stream and peering into the vegetation growing on the sandy bottom within the swift-moving water.
This rutilated quartz altarpiece contains needle-like inclusions of titanium and small flakes of titanium inside it. Rutile is a titanium ore. Titanium is used in high tech and aerospace alloys because it’s a lightweight super-conductor of electrical energy, exhibits great tensile strength and resists corrosion.
Rutilated quartz crystals have a high-energy charge, which is particularly effective in releasing energy blockages. For energy healing, rutillated quartz can be placed near the navel and around any area where the energy feels sluggish. Compared to other forms of quartz, rutilated quartz has a greatly enhanced ability to help dissolve any energy congestion.
Rutilated quartz is said to be a regenerator of people, crystals and plants, and to help one to resist aging and the general cellular breakdown caused by time.
Rutilated quartz, in my experience, when worn or carried on the person, act as a stimulant to the nervous system and the etheric body. I would recommend using this silver angel-hair rutile gemstone to recharge when your energy is depleted. You can carry this gemstone in your purse or pocket in a small drawstring bag for safekeeping and hold it in your hand whenever you need to focus your thoughts, relax your mind and strengthen your chi.
Rutile is good at repelling negative energy and ending unwanted interference. Rutile promotes and strengthens stability in relationships and marriage, and works to eliminate emotional and physical imbalances. Rutile is very "electrical" and affects physical, etheric and astral bodies.
This phantom altar displays two very pronounced translucent thin, cloud-like layers of mineral deposits resembling small points. Each layer of cloudy inclusion contains a revealing snapshot of the crystal's termination faces in the remote past. Each phantom marking represents a different stage in the crystal's growth -- and each stage can last for hundreds of thousands of years! Each phantom crystal reveals its own evolutionary pattern -- it is as though we can see the record of the transmigrations of the crystal's soul.
It should come as no surprise that phantom crystals help us to unearth our own histories, and to come to terms with unresolved issues from our past. Phantoms help us to see our own messy histories and our painful karmic issues as part of a beautiful spiritual evolution. In this way, they help to restore a sense of inner balance, unity and an aura of magic where there had been pain and struggle.

Smoky quartz works slowly and thoroughly to relieve imbalances in the physical and etheric bodies, with special emphasis on the solar plexus and its associated chakra, the third or Manipura chakra associated with personal power and vital energy. And it works on the hands and feet. Smoky quartz can, over time, help to balance the flow of vital energy throughout the physical and etheric bodies, and aids in the development of a healthy, fully functioning chakra system.
It is an aid in gently releasing blockages caused by negative energy patterns in the emotional body. Smoky quartz has been used as an aid in meditation, for energy healing, and to create a protective barrier of energy around the holder, being grounding and clearing the mind.
