This unusual example of Quartz phantom exhibits a rare habit: the phantoms alternate purple/black/purple/black as they travel through the Quartz crystal. This came from one small pocket about two years ago.

There is a near invisible micro Wilbur beneath the termination, seen with a loop only on one of the three termination faces.
