After my heavy duty quartz experience- I buried the phantom clear quartz in the forest where I live- right by the side of an oak tree and buried it in rock salt as well as the earth.
This crystal needed serious cleansing. I had been carrying it in a bag to the forest and nearly went into some kind of seizure- the enrgy was that strong- but it felt polluted so I have decided to keep it buried for at least 4 months. I had smudged it before hand as well, but even that hadn't helped.
I seriously think that crystal has been mistreated- after buying it, just touching it made me feel so sick. I had a few dreams, which told me that the crystal must end with me and met a green witch- kinnda a scary.
I'm guess I'm just worried that the rock salt will ahve harmed the crystal- and I'm worried about ever digging it up again. I guess when u bury something, u must bury it- I don't ever want to feel that sickness again.
