Phantom Quartz Cluster - SNCO 011

   

Very unique cluster of phantom quartz, on matrix - Orange River

  Measurements:  120 x 80 x 50 mm

Description:  A rather unique cluster of  phantom quartz, on a matrix of feldspar. The matrix has been trimmed. 

The phantom quartz crystals have the most bizarre, unique features:  some are black, with bits of brick-red colour, whilst others have a brick-red colour with clear terminations.  A few have lost their outer coating through the years, and new crystals have started growing on the inner (now exposed) phantoms. 

There are quite a few nicks to the specimen. If you're a crystal quarts collector, you'll find this a most remarkable specimen!

Chemical Composition: SiO2

Location: Orange River, Northern Cape, South Africa.
