Spirit Quartz Phantom Crystal Cluster, Mpumalanga, South Africa—SM11

This little beauty is spirit quartz, from South Africa! The cluster is a white to slightly smoky quartz single termination, ringed by multiple smaller terminations with a kiss of golden hue--a result of iron staining. This is a small natural crystal cluster, and features a main crystal, partially covered by clusters of multiple tiny crystals—a structure known as candle quartz, or alternately Spirit Quartz. The main crystal has a ghost-like inclusion within; the crystal within is complete (rather than a dissolved phantom layer), which is known in the healing community as a manifestation or “inner child” growth. It features unique structure, etched faces, and sharp terminations. (As an unpolished piece, it has minor abrasions and inclusions, which do not lessen it's beauty). This sweet little cluster would make a perfect addition to any specimen or healing collection, and fits perfectly in the hand!
