PURPLE PHANTOM QUARTZ Purple phantom quartz, also known as amethyst phantom quartz, is a variety of quartz crystal that exhibits purple or violet coloration. It is characterized by the presence of phantom-like inclusions within the crystal, which are typically seen as ghostly purple or violet layers or shapes inside the crystal structure. These phantoms are caused by interruptions in the crystal growth process, where the growth of the crystal is briefly halted and then resumed, resulting in the formation of layered or ghost-like patterns. Purple phantom quartz is highly sought after for its unique and visually striking appearance.
