Item Overview

This striking 32g specimen is a Black Phantom Quartz (often referred to as Smoky Phantom or Garden/Lodolite Quartz). It features a distinct interior ghost-like termination layer—a "phantom"—where a darker layer of mineral inclusions (likely hematite, chlorite, or smoky quartz growth) was encapsulated as the outer crystal continued to grow over time. Polished into a freestanding generator point, the clear-to-smoky top termination provides a window into the dense, dark internal phantom layer below.
