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 - 41.4x19.8x16.8MM - not the easiest to photograph, but shows up well in person - at least three distinct V lines. Unpolished and natural, from Madagascar.
