Chlorite Quartz

Chlorite is a group of minerals that show many different variations of compositions, in which minerals such as Magnesium, Iron, Aluminium, and Silicon substitute for each other in the crystal structure. Usually Chlorite has various shades of green or white, rarely yellow or red.

Sometimes, during the growth of certain Quartz crystals, a layer of Chlorite is deposited on the crystal's termination, followed by further growth of the crystal. The result will be a greenish internal 'phantom', revealing the shape of the Quartz crystal's terminations before the Chlorite deposit and later growth.

But not all Chlorite Quartz are phantoms. Sometimes the Chlorite inclusion locates in the body of the Quartz without leaving the mark of the its growth. Other times the Chlorite is on the surface of the Quartz. 

Energetically, Chlorite Quartz are excellent sources of connection with the Earth and Nature spirits. They are highly attuned to the plant kingdom. Meditation with Chlorite Quartz crystals can facilitate communication and energy exchange with almost any plant spirit. They resonate with the heartbeat of the Earth and so they can help us learn to ground our energies and emotions in the Earth, as well as heal and regenerate them.
