Item Description
A sharp phantom within this sharp quartz crystal yields a dramatic visual effect, as the crystal is so clean and transparent (unusually so!). The phantom is nicely balanced within. At close inspection you can see that it is actually composed of multiple layers of phantoms one atop another. Dramatic, and unusual for this region. Somewhat similar material has come from Brazil, in the past, but this is Pakistani, purchased in sourcing deals for the Meieran collection. As a bonus, small needlelike crystals of other species are also present in the base, perhaps actinolite.
