Details
This exceptional natural Green Chlorite Phantom Quartz sphere from Brazil is a beautifully polished 36.8 mm (1.45") collector's specimen featuring fascinating green mineral inclusions, distinct phantom formations, and an extraordinary miniature landscape of crystalline structures suspended within the quartz. Also commonly referred to as Chlorite Included Quartz, Lodolite, Garden Quartz, or Scenic Quartz, this beautiful small-sized sphere displays an abundance of deep forest-green chlorite inclusions ranging from delicate scattered particles to dense, cloud-like concentrations that create the appearance of underwater gardens and miniature landscapes. The interior also contains attractive bright yellow mineral inclusions, subtle additional earthy colors, and intricate internal crystalline formations that become increasingly fascinating under direct lighting. Much of the quartz is beautifully transparent, allowing you to look directly into its remarkable interior, while other areas are translucent with wispy veils, natural fractures, and overlapping phantom-like formations. Particularly captivating are the internal reflective fractures and crystalline surfaces that catch and redirect light, creating beautiful rainbow flashes and shifting reflections as the sphere is rotated. Every viewing angle reveals something different, from fine green mineral particles seemingly floating within the crystal to intricate internal structures that resemble an entirely separate world enclosed in quartz. The sphere has a smooth, glossy polished finish that beautifully complements its clarity and remarkable depth. With its rich green inclusions, colorful mineral accents, fascinating phantom formations, internal rainbows, and impressive transparency, this is an extremely attractive, high-quality collector's sphere and an outstanding example of one of nature's most fascinating included quartz varieties.
