PHENAKITE CLARITY GRADES
-
Good: milky/cloudy translucence with inclusions and black, brown or yellow discoloration due to other trace minerals (typically from Brazil and some in Ukraine). Vibrational quality is good, but not of the highest potency.
-
Better: slightly cloudy to somewhat clear transparency with minor inclusions, etchings, or light discoloration. Found in almost all Phenakite locations.
-
Best: Highest grade and most vibrationally potent. Ultra-high transparency (crystal clear with ability to read text through the stone) of at least 90-95% with little to no inclusions or discoloration. Typical of phenakite from Nigeria, Burma (Myanmar) and sometimes Ukraine. In faceted gemstones, this is what you want as it typically denotes Eye Clean clarity with little to no inclusions (inclusions can only be seen with a loupe).
VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY PROFILE
Phenakite is renowned for its unparalleled vibrational potency, radiating the universal centering vibration, a harmonizing force found at sacred sites and power spots worldwide. This vibration aligns and balances the human energy field, promoting profound harmony and spiritual integration.
Additionally, Phenakite emits the Divine White Light frequency, a crystallized manifestation of divine energy. This rare combination categorizes Phenakite as a crystal adaptogen, capable of restoring the energy field to its natural state of homeostasis while facilitating spiritual evolution and connection to higher realms.
This faceted Phenakite gemstone amplifies these powerful vibrations, making it an ideal tool for meditation, healing, and energy work. When placed over the third eye or crown chakra, it opens channels of divine communication and enhances spiritual awareness, creating a deeply transformational experience.
METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Phenakite is celebrated for its ability to bridge the physical and spiritual worlds. As a crystal adaptogen, it harmonizes the energy field, revitalizing the mind, body, and spirit. Its connection to the Divine White Light frequency fosters spiritual growth, clarity, and transformation.
Brazilian Phenakite is particularly sought after for its exquisite clarity and brilliance, making it a favorite among gem collectors and metaphysical practitioners alike. This gemstone’s purity and rarity elevate it as a valuable collector’s item and a powerful companion for spiritual and energy work.
