Sunset Phantom Quartz

Quartz with Hematite Phantoms – Dewarkonda Mines, Telangana, India

This stunning crystal, often called Sunset Phantom Quartz, features ethereal hematite inclusions suspended within clear or smoky quartz—creating the illusion of glowing inner landscapes, like a sunset frozen in time. Mined from the Dewarkonda region of Telangana, India, this formation is as rare as it is visually arresting, with each piece displaying unique layers, wisps, or phantom-like structures in vivid reds, golds, and warm rust tones.

Geological Information:

Sunset Phantom Quartz is not a distinct mineral species but a trade name for quartz crystals that contain hematite phantoms—internal “ghost” crystal growths that appear when iron oxide (hematite) settles between crystal formation stages. These pieces from Dewarkonda are particularly prized for their clarity and rich, fiery color zones, a testament to the unique mineral conditions of this Indian locality.

Metaphysical Properties:

• The hematite phantoms bring in grounding, protection, and vitality, anchoring your energy while stimulating the root and sacral chakras.
• Clear or smoky quartz, depending on the piece, amplifies the energy of the hematite while connecting to clarity, intention-setting, and higher consciousness.
• This combination is thought to hold the power of transformation—helping one release old energy while stepping into renewed purpose and passion, much like the symbolic transition of sunset into night.

Sunset Phantom Quartz is ideal for meditation, energy work, or as a centerpiece in sacred spaces where you seek beauty, grounding, and spiritual illumination.
