Trigonic Black Phantom Lemurian Dissolution Quartz with Hydrothermal Etchings, 268g, New Find, Transformation and Evolution, Brazil W399

This spectacular Black Phantom Lemurian Dissolution Quartz comes from a small 2024 find in Bahia, Brazil that has produced some of the most extraordinary crystals we have seen in years!

The crystals from this find are Lemurian hybrids with black inclusions of a carbon and plant-matter substance called Anthraxolite (though it's more often simply referred to as "Carbon"), a powerful mineral used for detoxification and healing past traumas. However, the "Dissolution" formations of these crystals are what make them most striking, exhibiting exquisite hydrothermal etchings, crevices and rounded edges. These rare formations occur in the late stages of their development when a hydrothermal solution at their source comes through the Earth (in the form of very hot, mineralized water most likely) and, over the course of time, actually pulls molecules away, creating these beautiful forms. So these were essentially carved by underground water flow over millions of years!

ABOUT THIS CRYSTAL
Superb elegance to this exquisite Black Phantom Lemurian Dissolution Quartz crystal with an array of hydrothermally etched textures throughout its body and a unique Double Termination!

This crystal is a true hybrid, as at first glance, it appears to be a more traditional Black Phantom Lemurian with excellent clarity, nicely defined Lemurian striations on its left side, and a beautiful main facet area that is densely filled with black Carbon (Anthraxolite) inclusions. However, as we draw our eye downwards and to the right side of this crystal, we see that much of the body displays gorgeous etched textures and crevices due to hydrothermal phenomenon. At the base, we see a deep contact "key" imprint that is naturally smoothed and rounded by this same phenomenon. It's really beautiful!

If we look even more closely at the base, we see that this piece is beautifully Double Terminated, with a naturally rounded base termination. And here is where we find what makes this piece so special, and that is the presence of HUNDREDS of naturally imprinted trigons throughout these lower main facets. These trigons are *very* small, and their pitted texture can be detected with the naked eye, but their definitive forms can only be enjoyed through a jeweler's loupe or magnifying glass. We've taken a few photos here with a macro lens to show them up close (see Photos 1, 5-6).

The upper main facet has a few *very* minor "fleabites" at the top, but the termination itself is otherwise very nice. An outstanding piece from this find!

FORMATION
Trigonic Quartz refers to crystals that have "trigons" or upside down triangles deeply etched into the face of the crystal. They are similar to Record Keepers, except Record Keepers are upright triangles and trigons are pointing downward.

These rare formations are said to have very distinct metaphysical properties, predominantly allowing one to transcend boundaries and limitations (spiritually, personally, dimensionally, etc). For this reason the Trigonic Quartz crystal is considered to be one of Initiation and useful for astral travel, inter-dimensional travel, shamanic journeying, etc.

The energy of Double Terminated crystals flows in both directions at once, and can draw or transmit energy through both ends. These doubly powerful crystals are very useful in healing because they can move energy in two directions at the same time and can act as a bridge between two energy points. They’re useful in unblocking negative energy and are an excellent all around balancing tool.

BLACK PHANTOM QUARTZ
Black Phantom Quartz get their unique look and energy from the inclusion of ancient petroleum, carbon and plant-matter inclusion called Anthraxolite. This mineral is a powerful grounding stone, that is of very high value in working to detoxify, both on the physical level and the emotional level, clearing scars and working through issues from the past. These crystals are wonderful at activating the Root Chakra, for grounding and for connecting to ancient earth energy.


DISSOLUTION CRYSTALS
Dissolution crystals have unique natural etchings and formations due to their creation and evolution process. They form in the ground as crystals, just as any other, but then at some point in the later stages of their development, a hydrothermal solution at their source (in the form of very hot, flowing, mineralized water most likely) comes through and actually pulls molecules away, creating beautiful natural etchings and distinct formations. These kinds of crystals are essentially carved by underground water flow over millions of years!

These crystals have an energy of evolution and transformation. As they have shed parts of themselves back into the earth, and become more beautiful, so do they help us to do the same in our spiritual evolution by releasing attachments. These crystals also share the energy of connection and facilitate an understanding of the divine energy that we come from and return to. This connection is one to the Divine, but also one to the powerful energy of the Earth. As these crystals were carved by waters running deeply within the Earth, they allow the source to flow through us so that we become one with the source.


LEMURIAN QUARTZ
It is believed that Lemurian Quartz crystals were "planted" long ago by the people of Lemuria (or Mu) a peaceful and highly spiritually (and technologically) advanced civilization similar to Atlantis. These crystals were encoded, much like hard drives, with important information vital to the survival of humankind and our Earth. As the Lemurian peoples' time on Earth was coming to an end, they "planted" these crystals, intending them to be discovered at a time in the future when humankind (in the form of Light Workers) would be able to begin to decode and understand the information they contain, and harness their healing energies. Unlike Starbraries or similar crystals said to have been programmed by beings in other star systems, Lemurians are the only crystals believed to have been planted and coded by a civilization that lived on this Earth.

The Lemurian Crystal is sometimes called a "master crystal," because it has so many metaphysical properties and is able to do so many things. It can be either or both a Communicator (revealing the information it contains and/or bridging the gap between the Earth and cosmic realms) and a Healer, allowing its unique vibrations to wash over the user and clear all heavy energy.

Lemurian Quartz resonates with all chakras, but primarily the Crown Chakra. It has one of the highest vibrations of any crystal and is a beautiful companion for meditation and to realign energies in the body. It can assist in clearing blockages in one's energy field and/or chakras, dispelling heavy energies from the body. If there is stagnant energy in the body, it can help to increase Prana (life force) energy to get things moving properly again. Meditating with Lemurian Crystals can allow us to connect with higher-dimensional spirit guides and connect to Divine realms, as well as to decode the information they contain within.
