This is a new arrival and a another very unusual crystal from Bahia, Brazil. These quartz were polished as there was a “skin” on the outside that was blocking the “show” inside. This is a rather stocky tower, 3.7 oz and 2.45” by 1.65” by 1” with a plethora of little rainbows inside. Inside, among those rainbows, there is a “tent-like” brown phantom right at the base. Take a UV light and shine on it and voila … the phantom glows orange! The phantoms found in these quartz are from Powellite which is rare especially in this location. The vein where these quartz were mined has already played out, so this is a very special crystal!??Click on the link below to see additional pictures.
