Item Description
A water-clear quartz crystal has a striking, parallel-growth phantom, which is preferentially partially included with black iron oxides! Weird. This showy and uncommon quartz is from an obscure Arkansas locale, but is well-known among locals for producing phantom quartz. Complete all-around and nearly pristine. One lower side on the back is contacted, but has no damage, and the trivial bit of termination edge wear has negligible impact to the displayability. A very nifty and rare quartz specimen.
