extremely rare incredibly clear phantom quartz sphere

An extremely rare phantom quartz sphere from Brazil, with incredible clarity. 7 cm in diameter, a handy collector's size with gemologically valuable internal stratigraphy.

Phantoms are internal growth stages: in one phase, the material was colored by trace elements, then another phase began and grew over the earlier layers. In a small sphere, the phantom layers are particularly concentrated and visible.

The clarity of the surrounding quartz substance allows every detail of the internal stratigraphy to be captured. Such detailed small phantom spheres are classified as gemological premium pieces in the collector's trade.

Brazilian deposits in Minas Gerais rarely yield quartz with phantom structures of this clarity. The small spherical shape is ideal for detailed display in showcases.

A collector's item with exceptionally clear gemological and phantom details.
