Beautiful Phantom Amethyst point from Brazil

A phantom amethyst point from Brazil. Columnar geometry with distinct vertical height, phantom layers clearly visible inside.

Phantom crystals document an interrupted growth history. A thin mineral layer forms on the already shaped crystal, after which quartz continues to grow. The layer remains visible as a geometric internal phantom.

The layers follow the hexagonal quartz crystallography. Each line documents a specific growth pause from the geological past.

Brazilian deposits in Rio Grande do Sul supply this material from the Serra Geral Basalt Formation. The deposit's history dates back to the early 20th century.

A Brazilian collector's piece with columnar geometry, legible phantom layers, and documented collector's provenance.
