VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY PROFILE
These Burmese Phenakite crystals radiate the universal centering vibration, a harmonizing force found at sacred sites and power spots worldwide. This unique vibration works to align and balance the human energy field, promoting deep harmony and spiritual alignment. Because of its pure optically clear clarity, Burmese Phenakite has the highest vibrational potency.
In addition to its centering vibration, Phenakite emits the Divine White Light frequency, crystallizing this powerful energy in physical form. This extraordinary combination makes Phenakite a crystal adaptogen, harmonizing the energy field and restoring it to homeostasis while facilitating spiritual evolution and connection to higher realms.
The vibrational potency of these crystals, paired with its optically clear clarity, make them exceptional tools for meditation, healing, and spiritual practices. Place one over the third eye or crown chakra to activate higher states of awareness and divine communication, or use them in sacred energy work to amplify their transformational power.
