This 32.55 gram (162.75 carat) parcel of metaphysical grade rough phenakite from the Carnaiba Emerald Mine in the Pindobaçu region of Bahia, Brazil contains 6 pieces measuring between 12 and 25mm. Some pieces are double terminated, meaning they formed natural points on both ends, some show green traces of emerald, and all of them include biotite mica matrix. The parcel is an affordable way to obtain several large pieces of phenakite, and every piece is completely natural and untreated.

Phenakite from Brazil is sought after for its gentler (but still powerful) vibrational quality compared to phenakite from other locations. The Carnaiba Emerald Mine is an emerald locality, so some of its phenakite forms with traces of emerald, which shows as a green hue on some pieces and gives this material a uniquely gentle vibrational quality that phenakite from other locations doesn't offer.

WHAT THIS STONE IS USED FOR

This parcel is well suited to crystal energy grids, wire wrapping, stone medicine elixirs, on-the-body healing layouts, and meditation. Place a piece over the third eye or crown chakra during meditation or in a grid or body layout, or display the parcel on an altar. A 'Good' grade phenakite delivers the full phenakite vibrational profile with a gentler delivery, and many practitioners find that gentler quality preferable for longer sessions.

VIBRATIONAL PROFILE

The phenakite in this parcel emits the white, green, and black frequencies, which trace to the phenakite itself (white), the emerald traces (green), and the biotite mica (black) that this mine is known for.

White Frequency: Phenakite is one of only a handful of stones confirmed to embody the white frequency, and the metaphysical record describes it as emitting divine white light. The white frequency serves as the universal donor, containing the qualities of all other color frequencies in a gentle, safe form suitable for nearly any condition. Energetically, white illuminates and clears the energy body, restoring resonance with divine light. It can be charged with any specific energy quality and then broadcast that quality outward. This is why clear quartz, which resonates strongly with the white band, is considered the foundation stone of crystal energy and healing practices. In Christian esotericism, the Holy Spirit appears as white light, and Steiner described white light as increasing in luminosity at higher spiritual levels.

Ultraviolet (UV) Frequency: The ultraviolet frequency is especially effective for addressing chronic pain, repairing damaged cells, and supporting DNA repair at the cellular level. Peter Mandel's research identified 370 nanometers as the optimal wavelength for clearing the subtle informational imprints of pain and illness within cells. Energetically, ultraviolet dissolves blockages and facilitates the movement of energy between the physical and spiritual levels, while also restoring deep yin reserves. In BioGeometry, Dr. Ibrahim Karim recognized the higher harmonic of ultraviolet as a key component of the centering vibration, which is linked to spiritual light. Dr. Samuel Sagan observed that the appearance of dark purple light, a signature of UV, signals the opening of the astral plane to one's inner vision.

Green Frequency: The emerald traces give these pieces their green frequency component, which softens the power of the phenakite's output. The green frequency stimulates the pituitary gland, builds muscles and tissues, clears diseased cells, decongests the lungs, and eliminates germs and bacteria. It is the safest and most balanced clearing frequency in the vibrational spectrum, cleansing, detoxifying, and dissolving detrimental vibrations from the energy field. Salt carries a strong green vibration, which explains its long-standing use for purifying and preserving foods, spaces, and materials. Green marks the balance point of the visible light spectrum and the equilibrium of the manifested world.

Black Frequency: The biotite mica matrix gives these pieces their black frequency component, providing grounding and protection during use. The black frequency supports detoxification and chelation of toxins in the body, and is one of the most important frequencies in vibrational healing due to its ability to absorb detrimental vibrations from living beings and environments. Emotionally, black promotes peace, deep sleep, calm, and sobriety. In Chinese medicine, it is linked to the water element and helps curb fear. Spiritually, black embodies the archetypal power of yin, the void and womb of creation from which renewal arises. The 88th generation Taoist priest and teacher Jeffrey Yuen notes that black always represents a mystery or a quest.

Universal Centering Vibration: All phenakite, regardless of its origin or clarity grade, embodies the universal centering vibration. This is the non-polarized, equilibrating frequency found at every sacred power spot on Earth, such as Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, Mount Shasta, and the Egyptian Pyramids. The universal centering vibration returns whatever it connects with to its own center of perfect balance, functioning the way adaptogenic herbs do in plant medicine. This places phenakite in an exceptionally rare category of crystal adaptogens.

Together, this is a powerful yet gentle vibratory combination that is quite rare, pairing the divine white output of phenakite with the heart-softening green of emerald and the grounding black of biotite mica.

A NOTE ON FAKES

Clear quartz is frequently misrepresented as phenakite in the marketplace. If you encounter a specimen at an unusually low price, or with characteristics that seem inconsistent with known phenakite, it's likely quartz. Each stone in this collection has been personally sourced and put through both gemological analysis and vibrational testing to ensure authenticity.

✦ HAND-SELECTED AND VIBRATIONALLY TESTED

This phenakite parcel has been personally sourced and tested by Ashley Sohl, Ph.D. candidate, GIA-trained gemologist, and originator of archetypal stonework. Each specimen at Sanctuary of Stones is selected to meet strict gemological and vibrational criteria. You receive natural, untreated stones that have undergone thorough evaluation.

FAQ

JEWELRY

Are the stones and materials you use natural?

Yes! All of the stones we use are high-grade, premium, and 100% natural just as Gaia made them. They are not treated in any way (heat, irradiation, dye, stabilized, etc.) because some treatments alter the vibrational nature of the stone and can be detrimental to the energy field of the wearer. We use either 100% linen or silk thread for our beaded necklaces as they are highly conductive, helping the energy travel powerfully through the piece.

Do pieces come in other sizes or stone combinations?

Each piece made is unique and not made to order. Therefore, this piece cannot be altered and does not come in other sizes or stone combinations. However, if you like this piece and want it longer, made with different stones, or altered in any way, please reach out to request a custom order via the Contact page.

Who made the pieces in your store?

Each piece is handcrafted with intention and love by founder Ashley Sohl. She hand-picks every stone and component that is used, and handmakes each piece with care and attention. We do not believe in mass produced, cookie-cutter jewelry. Sanctuary Vibrational Jewelry makes unique stone ally adornments for inner journeys and personal transformation.

How do you know the vibration of the stones?

The vibrational qualities are painstakingly tested by Ashley using a comibination of ancient and modern vibrational scientific techniques from different schools of thought, including BioGeometry, physical Radiesthesia, New Homeopathy, and more.

Do you use real gold?

Yes! We use solid 14k gold. We recently started offering gold-filled as an option to make pieces accessible to more people. If gold-filled doesn't show up as an option, please contact me to request a custom.

I want a piece that is sold out. What should I do?
