• Better: slightly cloudy to somewhat clear transparency with minor inclusions, etchings, or light discoloration. Found in almost all Phenakite locations.

VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY PROFILE

Phenakite is revered for its intensely high vibrational energy and unique ability to emit the universal centering vibration, a harmonizing force found at sacred sites and power spots worldwide. This vibration works to align and balance the entire human energy field, promoting profound harmony and spiritual attunement.

Additionally, Phenakite radiates the Divine White Light frequency, crystallizing this powerful energy in physical form. This extraordinary combination makes Phenakite a crystal adaptogen, working to restore the human energy field to homeostasis while facilitating spiritual evolution and divine connection.

The vibrational potency of this Ukrainian Phenakite crystal, combined with its clarity and natural etchings, establishes it as a transformational tool for meditation, healing, and energy work. It is especially powerful when placed over the third eye or crown chakra, enabling higher states of awareness and divine communication.
