Mineralogical characteristics
Quartzes called phantom or with soul are quartzes that contain pyramid-shaped concentric inclusions inside. These inclusions are marks of the growth of the quartz crystal. This happens when gas bubbles or crystals of other minerals accumulate on the tips of the crystal during the different phases of its development. When the marks are white, they are usually gas or liquid bubbles. Brown or reddish marks are usually different iron minerals, and green marks are usually chlorite.
