Quartz is a familiar gem, known for its wide range of colors--purple amethyst, yellow citrine, and green prasiolite all being famous varieties. Quartz is also famous for often being a host to other minerals, inclusions in a stunning variety of colors and shapes. These 'inclusion quartzes' range from clear stones with specks retailer of golden pyrite to stones turned yellow by dense needles of amphibole, and a million other variations in between.

One of the most iconic inclusions found in quartz is the mineral chlorite. Chlorite often forms on the faces of quartz crystals while they are still growing--this results in a layer of chlorite crystals that trace the former shape of the quartz crystal, a 'phantom' within the stone.

This stone has a striking green phantom of chlorite within, mirroring the surface of the crystal above.

Unlike many inclusion quartzes offered on the market, this stone has its original crystal faces and has not been repolished.
