Polished Amphibole Quartz Crystal

USD $24.00

SKU: P3843

This Amphibole Quartz Crystal is from Brazil! The inclusions consist of (yellow) Limonite, (red) Hematite, (white) Kaolinite, and (pink) Lithium!! Some will know this as Red Rabbit Quartz. This will most likely be the last of the Amphiboles as the mines they come out of are no longer in use. So if you have dreams of owning an amphibole, now is the time to purchase one before they become harder to find or outrageously priced!! The removable base featuring New Zealand Paua shell comes with the crystal! This specimen is in very good condition.

Amphibole Quartz Origins & Background

Amphibole Quartz is a highly distinctive Quartz variety containing complex internal inclusions of Amphibole-group minerals. These inclusions often appear as feathered, wing-like, or fibrous forms within the crystal.

Due to their appearance, Amphibole Quartz is also known as Angel Wing Phantom Quartz, while in parts of Asia it is commonly referred to as Red Rabbit Quartz. These names reflect the visual impression of the inclusions rather than separate mineral species.

The most well-known Amphibole Quartz specimens come from Brazil, particularly Minas Gerais. Each crystal forms with a unique internal landscape, making no two specimens alike. Unfortunately the miners damaged trees on the farm where the Amphibole Quartz is found and were banned from further mining by the farm owner – this was several years ago which is why the crystals are so hard to find now.

Amphibole Quartz is especially valued for the way multiple mineral inclusions coexist harmoniously within a single Quartz host — a natural record of layered geological processes and mineral interaction.

Amphibole Quartz Geological Information

Amphibole Quartz forms when Quartz crystallizes in an environment rich in Amphibole-group minerals. As the Quartz grows, fine fibrous inclusions become trapped within the crystal structure.

These inclusions may include Hematite, Limonite, Kaolinite, and trace amounts of Lithium-bearing minerals, each contributing to the crystal’s coloration and internal texture.

The inclusions often form phantom-like shapes, recording different stages of crystal growth. This creates the layered, winged appearance that distinguishes Amphibole Quartz from other inclusion Quartz varieties.

Common Geological Occurrences

  • Hydrothermal Quartz veins
  • Iron- and clay-rich geological environments
  • Association with Amphibole-group minerals

Amphibole Quartz Crystal Care & Ownership Advice

⚠️ Handling:
Amphibole Quartz is structurally Quartz and relatively durable, but internal inclusions can create natural stress points. Handle gently.

☀️ Sunlight & Heat:
Generally stable, though prolonged intense sunlight may dull subtle inclusion colors over time.

🧼 Cleaning:
Clean using lukewarm water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners.

📦 Storage & Display:
Display where internal inclusions can be appreciated under indirect light.

Amphibole Quartz Metaphysical Properties

Amphibole Quartz is often associated with the angelic realm, a connection reflected in its alternative name, Angel Wing Phantom Quartz. The wing-like inclusions are widely interpreted as symbolic of higher guidance, protection, and spiritual communication.

These crystals are considered multi-talented due to the many inclusions threaded throughout them. Amphibole Quartz is commonly worked with to cultivate peace, harmony, and serenity through inner certainty — building confidence in one’s decisions and the courage to step into the unknown.

The Hematite inclusions provide grounding, strength, and forward momentum. They are often associated with resilience and the drive to continue moving ahead despite obstacles.

The Limonite aspect radiates self-worth, joy, and personal vitality. This energy is often described as uplifting, inspiring both the self and those around you.

Trace Lithium-bearing inclusions are associated with empathy, emotional balance, and compassion. This influence helps keep one focused on integrity, service, and heart-centered values.

Kaolinite inclusions are linked with Crown Chakra awareness and inspiration. They are often described as channeling pure, clarifying energy and strengthening connection with higher guidance.

Amphibole Quartz is traditionally worked with for deep energetic cleansing — supporting the release of pollutants, toxicity, and entrenched negative thought patterns. It is also regarded as a powerful manifestation crystal, helping intention move into form.

Many people work with Amphibole Quartz for lucid dreaming and insight during sleep. Placing the crystal near the bed or under a pillow is believed to encourage peaceful rest and informative dreams.

The Limonite aspect also contributes strong protective qualities, while Kaolinite is said to offer intuitive discernment — helping one know when protection is needed without falling into fear-based reactions.

Amphibole Quartz Cleansing & Charging — Safe Methods First

⚠️ Important:
Respect the complexity of inclusions when cleansing.

Water safety:
Amphibole Quartz is generally water-safe for gentle rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking.

Preferred crystal-safe methods:

  • Sound: singing bowls, bells.
  • Moonlight: gentle overnight charging.
  • Intention / meditation: visualization or breathwork.
  • Selenite plate: dry and supportive.

If unsure:
choose non-invasive cleansing methods.
