We heard the word \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eas Ishuko and started calling it that. As it turns out \u003cstrong\u003eIshuko \u003c\/strong\u003emeans lucky so it turned out to be perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the formation of these crystals haematite was deposited. As the crystal continued growing it left an amazing red, ochre coloured phantom that runs parallel to the faces of the crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe purchased the original pieces even though they were a bit beat up, they showed potential. Although we have not been able to visit Zambia owing to the pandemic we have been able to build on our initial meeting and have been buying these quartz over the past year. We are proud to list them here now. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Judy Hall, Red Phantom Quartz heals the aura and is helpful in business and enhancing financial security. It can also help in overcoming frustration (The Encyclopedia of Crystals page 55, Judy Hall, 2013). You could use that!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNharo first visited Zambia in 2002 and bought some copper bangles. This was the start of almost 20 years of buying. We have shifted from craft buyers to minerals buyers but are proudly still working with some of the same people we met those days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 126 grams \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 60.39mm (2.38\") x 56.07m\u003cspan\u003em (2.24\") \u003c\/span\u003ex 31.75mm (1.25\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollow us on:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstagram: @nharoafrica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003efacebook.com\/NharoAfrica\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eyoutube.com\/user\/nharo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwitter: @nharoafrica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nharo!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45535658508486,"sku":"IRP26021302SHSN","price":45.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0409\/9883\/0233\/files\/IMG-4354_c7e82898-4cf1-4a9b-8034-f5eaac3ec298.heic?v=1771007870","url":"https:\/\/nharo.com\/products\/ishuko-red-phantom-hematite-quartz-cluster-chongwe-zambia","provider":"Nharo!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
