1. ORIGIN
------------------------------------------------------------
White phantom quartz is a type of phantom quartz in the quartz (SiO₂) family. A 'phantom' forms when a crystal pauses its growth during geological change and later resumes it, leaving stepped, ghost-like outlines (white / milky powdery inclusions) inside the crystal.
Main deposits: Brazil, Madagascar, Switzerland and the United States, among other natural quartz regions.
With a Mohs hardness of about 7, it is hard and takes a fine polish, making it suitable for spheres, carvings and beads.
2. HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Phantom quartz takes its name from the ghostly, layered growth outlines hidden inside the crystal, making it one of the most visually prized varieties among collectors.
In Chinese crystal culture, white phantom is regarded as a symbol of purification and protection, meaning 'clearing stray thoughts and guarding the family.'
The 'phantom' within the crystal records millions of years of geological history and is said to 'carry time and wisdom.'
