Quartz specimens (Phantom)

Phantom Quartz points

Nice phantom Quartz points, an unusual type of Quartz with a 'ghost' of another crystal inside.

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

Our current stock includes:

• #1 - 41x19x17MM - a very faint piece, hard to see unless well lit - the phantom has not been highlighted by coloured or opaque inclusions.
