Inclusion Quartz is the beautiful quartz with a range of or sometimes just one mineral within! Each piece is a mezmarizing world filled with beauty captured by the surrounding quartz. This collection features a range from Brazil filled with phantoms, hematite, chlorite & more
Here is an in depth description of the growth process by Madagascan Direct
As the quartz crystal grows, it shares its surroundings with other minerals, as well as substances such as air bubbles and water. This means that sometimes the quartz will envelope these surrounding minerals, which then become a part of the crystal, cocooned deep inside so it can survive harsh chemical conditions occurring on the outsides. Sometimes minerals that have existed before the quartz was created become embedded in the quartz: these minerals are thus maintained in the exact original shape of the mineral in a natural process of preservation. In a different method of inclusion, which results in ‘synegenetic’ inclusions, the included minerals differ from the usual minerals because these minerals are not fully formed: they were engulfed by the quartz whilst the mineral was still growing. This method can sometimes give rise to phantom quartz. Phantoms are minerals which were only partially included in the quartz, and then stopped growing years after they were first included, leaving behind phantom shapes where they once filled the quartz.
The beauty of inclusion quartz is that you gain the metaphysical properties of the minerals within and they are then amplified by the surrounding quartz
This piece is 7cm x 4cm phantom quartz
