Elestial crystal with smoky quartz phantoms and water inclusion

A polished Elestial crystal with smoky quartz phantoms and a tiny water inclusion inside, presented on a light wooden base with a labeling plaque.

Elestial crystals are a quartz growth variety with sub-terminations grown on top of each other, resembling scaled pyramids on the main face. The shape is created by repeated growth interruptions followed by new crystal phases.

The smoky quartz phantoms document earlier growth stages with darker coloration, triggered by zonal radiation conditions during mineralization.

The water inclusion is a rare feature: a tiny cavity with trapped liquid water from the original hydrothermal solution. When gently tilted, the air bubble inside moves, a direct connection to the mineralization conditions millions of years ago.

Rock crystal belongs to the quartz family. The clarity of this piece is exceptional, as water inclusions are usually accompanied by cloudy growth zones.

A collector's item of the highest class with didactic depth and rarity for collectors.
