Natural Smokey Phantom Quartz Cluster x 7 From Luena, Congo
A NOTE FROM NICK
White Phantom included lot of 7 Cascading Leuna quartz Crystals and Clusters. slightly Smokey..Smokey Clear. Some small chips (like 90% of Luena quartz..you would have to see the muddy 6 x 6 route to the mine in Congo, the last bit by off road motorbikes, to understand why!) Attractive beauties and well priced.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Luena, Congo, is known for its classic cascading quartz crystals, displaying a smokey color with distinctive phantom-like formations. Recently, the region has produced mostly clear to smokey cascading quartz with well-defined phantoms, while its famous counterpart, Citrine has become increasingly rare. The crystals from Luena are characterized by subtle smokey tones and intricate phantom layers within the quartz. Located in a highly remote area, access to the Luena deposits is challenging. Transporting the material down the mountainside on motorbikes adds further difficulty, making it difficult to prevent specimen breakage.
