Clear Quartz Angel Phantom Mineral Specimen. A unique collectible for mineral enthusiasts

This exquisite Clear Quartz Angel Phantom specimen is a beautifully formed miniature crystal that captures the imagination of mineral collectors. Each specimen showcases the unique phenomenon of a phantom crystal—a smaller crystal that ceased growing and later resumed, leaving behind an imprint often resembling angel wings within the larger quartz.

  • Unique Crystal Formation: The phantom crystal effect creates ghost-like internal inclusions, giving the impression of ethereal shapes suspended within the quartz. Each specimen is naturally unique, like a miniature work of art.

  • Perfect for Collectors: Small yet striking, this specimen is ideal for both early-stage collectors and those with established mineral collections seeking distinctive, high-quality examples of quartz phenomena.

  • Display Appeal: Its clarity, geometric crystal form, and angelic phantom imprint make it a visually captivating addition to display cases, shelves, or mineral exhibits.

Angel Phantom Quartz is a type of clear quartz distinguished by the “phantom” effect, where earlier crystal growth is present as an internal outline or imprint inside the larger crystal. These phantoms often resemble angel wings or ethereal shapes, created naturally over thousands of years as the crystal grows in stages.

More than just a mineral, it shows the intricate and rare processes of crystal formation. Collectors value it for its:

  • Geological uniqueness and natural beauty

  • Educational and scientific interest in quartz growth patterns

  • Compact, display-ready size perfect for both homes and curated mineral collections
