What is the Difference between Phantom Amethyst and Regular Amethyst?
Phantom amethyst is a powerful crystal which has stunning purple, clear and lavender hues. It differs from standard amethyst due to the “phantom” or “ghost” inclusions found within the crystal. It is regarded as a rarer crystal than regular amethyst. These phantoms are formed when the crystal is in the process of growing and then stops growing due to natural geological changes. This creates distinct mineral layers within the crystal which result in its characteristic beautiful multi-colored appearance. These phantoms are thought to amplify the energy of the crystal, making it more powerful than regular amethyst.
