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 emitting the universal centering vibration, a harmonizing force that aligns and balances the human energy field. This vibration is also found at sacred sites and power spots worldwide, making Phenakite a profound tool for energetic alignment and spiritual integration.
Additionally, Phenakite emits the Divine White Light frequency, the crystallization of divine energy into physical form. This unique combination makes it a powerful crystal adaptogen, restoring the energy field to its natural state of homeostasis and promoting spiritual evolution and connection.
METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Brazilian Phenakite is especially prized for its ability to resonate with the third-eye, crown, and etheric chakras, facilitating expanded awareness and higher consciousness. Its rarity and purity amplify its energetic properties, making it a powerful ally for spiritual growth, intention-setting, and manifestation.
Whether used as the centerpiece of a custom jewelry design or as a tool for metaphysical practices, this gemstone represents the pinnacle of Phenakite’s beauty, rarity, and energetic significance.
