Phantom Amethyst points and clusters

Nice phantom Amethyst points and clusters, an unusual type of Quartz with a 'ghost' of another crystal inside. These are typically rather hard to photograph but I've done my best!

The 'phantom' is essentially caused by inclusions or fractures along the natural growth lines of the Amethyst. In a lot of cases, it is visible as the inclusions are coloured, usually by iron staining.

Our current stock includes:

#1 - 41x21.5x15MM - a clear, smoky, and purple piece of Quartz with a phantom fairly visible; it is possibly best described as colour zoning.
#2 - 50x25x13.7MM - a rather pale piece; the 'phantom' in this is quite difficult to see, although it is easier against direct light.
#3 - 14.7x12.3x10.6MM - a small double point with a fine Goethite phantom in both points, visible from multiple angles.
#4 - 24.5x19.5x16MM - a single point with a fine Goethite phantom visible from multiple angles.
#5 - 23.6x11.9x11.5MM - a single point with a colour zoning phantom from various angles.
#6 - 20x12x8.5MM - another small point with a colour zoning phantom.
#7 - 38x28.9x28MM - a druzy cluster with golden and black Goethite inclusions causing several distinct phantoms.
#8 - 23.7x22.1x17.2MM - a nice piece of druzy with black lines and patches caused by Goethite inclusions.
#9 - 31.4x22.5x20.2MM - a nice piece of druzy with black lines and triangular patches caused by Goethite inclusions.
#10 - 46.5x31.2x28.2MM - a nice piece with fine black lines creating very visible phantoms along many of the points.

Frequently asked questions and delivery information

How do we grade stones?

There is no overall universal grading system for the majority of our products. As such, the grades we use are internal only. They simply refer to higher and lower qualities, but they may be entirely different grades to other websites. C grade pieces are of lower quality than B grade, which is lower than A grade.

How does our ordering and delivery process work?

You place an order via the website. When it’s been picked and packed, your order will be marked as completed and dropped off at our local post office. We have an account with the post office called a “Drop and Go” account, which allows the post office staff to process our parcels when they have free time, rather than me queuing up and delaying everyone else.

I get tracking information etc online when this has been completed. I typically do not send tracking information to customers unless they request it – but if you’ve requested tracked postage, it has been sent tracked! If you have any worries or concerns about your parcel being delayed please feel free to get in touch and I’ll send the tracking info over! We also get delivery confirmations for parcels over 25MM thick by default.

How do international orders work?

After Brexit, with the UK leaving the European Union, certain things have changed with regards to international orders. European Union customers will now likely be liable to pay the same amount of import VAT as any other international customers. You will be responsible for any customs and import fees.
