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
