Quartz with Carbon Phantoms from Brazil - One of a Kind Specimen

Black carbon phantoms trace the outline of the crystal at earlier stages of its growth, a record of its history frozen in stone.

Phantom quartz is fascinating to study under a light, and dark carbon phantoms make the outlines especially easy to see. It is a striking addition to a collection, a desk or a meditation space, and a thoughtful gift for a geology lover. This is the exact specimen shown. Each phantom is a moment in the crystal's growth you can actually see.

The specimen is about 3 by 3 by 2.5 inches and weighs about 250 grams. A small flashlight held behind it makes the phantoms stand out even more.

About Phantom Quartz

A phantom forms when a quartz crystal pauses its growth and a thin layer of another mineral, here carbon, settles on its faces. When growth resumes, that layer is sealed inside, leaving a ghostly outline of the earlier crystal.

Stone Meaning: Phantom quartz is traditionally associated with growth and transformation.
