27.86 g. Brazilian Phenakite Lot - 6 Pieces
This 27.86-gram phenakite lot from the Carnaiba Emerald Mine in the Pindobaçu region of Bahia, Brazil features 6 pieces of metaphysical grade rough phenakite. Measuring between 12 and 26 mm, this lot is an affordable way to obtain several large pieces of phenakite. Some pieces are double terminated, some have traces of emerald, and all of them have biotite mica matrix.
Phenakite from Brazil is sought after for its more gentle (but still powerful) vibrational qualities compared to phenakite from other locations. Stones from the Carnaiba Emerald Mine are interesting as some of the phenakite features traces of emerald (the green hue on some of the pieces), which gives these phenakite pieces a uniquely gentle vibrational quality that is not present in phenakite from other locations.
This metaphysical grade phenakite lot with 6 pieces is perfect for crystal energy grids, wire wrapping, making stone medicine elixirs, on-the-body healing layouts, or as a meditative tool. Whether placed over the third eye or crown chakra, used in energy work, or displayed on an altar, these phenakites radiate gentle yet powerful transformative energy and offers profound spiritual benefits.

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, it's more gentle.
-
Better: slightly cloudy to somewhat clear transparency with minor inclusions and 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.
VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY PROFILE
Phenakite is renowned for emitting the universal centering vibration, a harmonizing energy found at sacred sites and power spots around the world. This vibration aligns and balances the human energy field, offering deep spiritual and energetic integration.
Additionally, phenakite emits the Divine White Light frequency, the physical crystallization of divine energy. This combination makes phenakite a powerful crystal adaptogen, capable of restoring the human energy field to homeostasis and promoting spiritual evolution.
Crystals from the Carnaiba Emerald Mine are particularly revered for their gentle yet powerful vibration and strength in transmitting these high-frequency vibrations, making them some of the most effective tools for spiritual and energy work. The stones from this mine also sometimes contain traces of emerald, which gives them the added vibrational qualities of emerald.
The phenkite from this lot vibrates at and emits white, black, and green frequencies, which are related to the trace elements present in the phenakite - emerald (green) and biotite mica (black) that this mine is known for.
METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Phenakite is celebrated as a stone of transformation, bridging the physical and spiritual realms. Its vibrational potency supports expanded awareness, higher consciousness, and deep meditative states.
Phenakite from the Carnaiba Emerald Mine in Brazil is special in that it typically features traces and host rock of other minerals, including emerald and biotite mica. The phenakite in this lot carry the soft heart frequency of green emerald, the protective and grounding energy of black from the biotite mica, and of course the Divine White energy from the phenakite itself. This is a powerful yet gentle vibratory combination that is quite rare! Phenakite's connection to the Divine White Light frequency amplifies spiritual growth, inner transformation, and alignment with one's higher purpose while the green frequency from the emerald soften the power of the energy, and the biotite mica emits the black color frequency to provide grounding and protection during use.
