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.

The termination is pristine, and overall I didn't find any dings or chips. This is a unique attractive Quartz.
