It comes down to what mineral happened to be settling on the crystal's surface during the pause. Green phantoms form from chlorite, red from hematite, and white from dolomite or clay, but if very little mineral dust was present, or if it was extremely fine, the phantom shows as a subtle change in the quartz itself, sometimes fainter and requiring the right light to see clearly. A large piece like this, at 278g, needed sustained stable conditions for the crystal to grow to this size around its phantom layer. Phantom quartz is traditionally associated with \u003cstrong\u003egrowth\u003c\/strong\u003e and moving through emotional stagnation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phantom itself is not a separate crystal placed inside, it is an exact record of this same crystal's shape at the moment its growth paused, later grown over and sealed in as conditions changed and crystallization resumed.
